He Used To Cry When We Called Him Orville Redenbacher

Paco and Regis had just been forced to leave the courthouse steps by some uninformed individuals bent on protecting Freedom in the most delightful way.

« How do you think the Joe Kay case will turn out? » asked Paco, when they had found a new place to loiter.

« Napoleon says it will turn out well, » Regis replied.

« He's been saying that for sixteen years, ever since Snowball accidentally slipped on that banana peel and died, » Paco observed. « What if Joe Kay is dead? »

« Dead‽ Why would the courts proceed if he were dead? » Regis shrieked incredulously.

« I dunno. I just heard a rumor, » mumbled Paco.

Regis sputtered, « Look, it's simple. The proceedings are closed to the public. Therefore we have to trust the court system. You do trust the courts, don't you? I mean, it would be tantamount to treason if you didn't. »

« Uhh.. »

« And if Napoleon tells us that things will turn out well soon, then he must know something, mustn't he? »

« But he's been saying “soon” for sixteen years! »

« Maybe things got complicated. You don't know what's going on in there. »

« Yeah, why don't we know what's going on in there? »

« Because if the public knew anything and decided to act, it could jeopardize the case. »

« What if not acting could jeopardize the case? »

« Just be patient, all right? »

« Hey! I can't believe you guys listen to a talking pig! » shouted an obnoxious little girl.

Three days later they heard that she had tragically died from a bizarre banana peel accident. All preened their moustaches in silence.
