Meanwhile, back at FBNA Headquarters in beautiful Sedona, Arizona, TED is throwing darts at a copy of the WSJ. "Which hapless company will we take over this week?", he thinks, as he hurls another dart. "Hmmmm .. haven't checked my email in over 7 minutes. Better do it now." He sits down at his desk, hits the right hot key combination, and up pops his email window. "Only 19?", thinks TED. "Shucks. Must be time to put out another meaningless press release to get the interest in our company moving again." The phone rings. "Uh, yeah?", answers TED. [pause] "Well, OK. If that's the way it has to be, so be it. Thanks, Bill." He hangs up the phone, sighs deeply, then crosses out "MSFT" from his list of possible acquisition candidates.

"Svejk is ideal for the job! " Muffy spun the web, as she went on. "He is a medical board certified imbecile with a shady past, rap sheet as long as, well, long, so he is a perfect choice for the frame job. Especially since he just quit the mail room job claiming it wasn't funny any more, dumped his FBNA, and bought a new kennel for his mongrels." She could see the headlines already: "A disgruntled unemployed mail clerk shreds FBNA!" A cloud of thought fluttered across her forehead. She turned to Jeff with a question. "But, Svejk remains humbly dreaming, virtually near the first arch of the Mala Strana side of Charles Bridge, where they serve great hot rum, gratis for him, truly, so how are we going to arrange it?"
