Overheard at Cosi’s Restaurant, Georgetown, lunch time, April 26:
Kerry: ” –Wait, go over that again…?
Kerry PR Strategist: “Sure. CAFE standards have to do with Corporate Average Fuel Economy guidelines. That’s what the acronym CAFE stands for, in fact — ‘corporate average fuel economy.’ Our position is that raising CAFE standards will clean the environment and cut down on our reliance on foreign oil.”
Kerry: “Right, yes, excellent. And, uh, what’s an acronym again?”
Kerry PR Strategist: “A word formed from the initial letters of a name, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words.”
Kerry: “Gotcha. Well, I’m certainly glad we cleared all this up before the next GMA interview. Because I could have sworn CAFE standards had to do with tapenade quality, or the versatility of an eatery’s wine list…”
Kerry PR Strategist: “Yes, Senator.”
Kerry: “…That was supposed to be a joke, Todd.”
Kerry PR Strategist: “Of course it was, Senator. Shall I have the valet pull your wife’s Suburban around now…?”

Hey, are those my medals in the glovebox? Great, I was wondering where they got to…
