Overheard in the men’s room immediately following a Fort Lauderdale fundraiser, at which the Junior Senator from Massachusetts waxed internationalist:
Campaign Strategist: “Gee, Senator, I don’t know. I mean, all that stuff about having the tacit support of a bunch of foreign leaders? And then not even naming any of them? That might have been a bit much…”
Kerry: “Well, there’s Jacques, of course. And Gerhard. And that little Korean fella, the cute one with the wild hair and the spent nuclear fuel rods–“
Campaign Strategist: “– Yeah. You see, that’s precisely what I’m talking about. Tactically speaking, I’m not sure we should be pushing that particular angle…”
Kerry: “– Ooh, and Kofi! I almost forgot Kofi…!”

Jeff’s back! WOO-HOOOO!!! (fistpump-fistpump-fistpump) YESS! YESS! YESS! (Cranks up “Steal My Sunshine” and bellydances in front of monitor) Get that PayPal button up, son; and lemme lay a li’l lovin’ on ya! (Does the emu dance from The Wigggles TV show) Boy, how I’ve missed you! I’ll feel like a fool if you were really at a different address this whole time. (Snatches off shirt and whips it lariat-style) That was a clever test-pattern screen you had there, though. (Frightens toddler son with barks of joy). Welcome back!!
