my desk this morning. It's a
commentary on what we laughingly
call the civilized world. 'Dear
Miss Mitchell:
Four years ago Iwas fired out of my job. Since
then I haven't been able to get
another one. At first I was sore
at the state administration because
it's on account of the slimy
politics here we have all this
unemployment. But in looking around,
it seems the whole world's going
to pot, so in protest I'm going to
commit suicide by jumping off the
City Hall roof!' Signed, A disgusted
American citizen, John Doe.'"
JOE:
(continues reading)
"Editor's note . . . If you ask
this column, the wrong people are
jumping off roofs."
JOE glances up toward ANN, in mild protest.
JOE:
Hey, Ann, this is the old fakeroo,
isn't it?

ANN:
Never mind that, Joe. Go ahead.
