BALLISTICS

A very odd conversation with a highly senior director at work today:

SCENE: Me sat at my new desk gazing vacantly at meaningless figures on my monitor. Director from my former department turns up and waits to speak to the person next to me, who is already with someone.

Director: "Hello Jon"
Jonola: "Oh, hello"

Director: "I see you've got the missiles in" (points towards bundles of six cylindrical tubes stored above large filing cabinets)
Jonola: "Ummm, yes, had a word with the ballistics department and managed to get some samples"

Director: "Oh good, good, and a helicopter?"
Jonola: "errr, no. Budget cuts you see, and besides, there's no need for the helicopter, we can fire these direct from the ground. They've quite a good range you know."

Director: "Really, any targets?"
Jonola: "well, come three o'clock and several of them will be heading off to central London where I believe a certain Mr Bush is in attendance"

Director: "ah yes, and how accurate are they?"
Jonola: "oh very, very, it's a new technology you see"

Director: "oh good, good, well keep up the good work"
Jonola: "right ho. Thanks"

*Jonola gives salute and sits back down in chair*
