Krause stiffly marches into the commissars office and stands stiffly
giving the required party greeting:

Krause: *HOPE

The commissar stands quickly lifting his chin and staring imperiously
into the distance in his best impersonation of THE ONE and gives the
party reply.

Comm.: *and CHANGE

Commisar: *Now comrade Krause, to what do I owe the honor of a visit
from you? *Heh, but first, let me tell you, that pogrom of yours to
eliminate intellectuals is going very well. *Totally untrustworthy
they are, always with the ideas of their own. *Our party requires
OBEDIANCE, not ideas.

Krause: *Comrade, my rations have been cut and…….

Commissar: *Comrade Krause, there has been no cutting of rations of
but we have had Kinetic Less than Unitary Increases. *Furthermore, YOU
of all people should understand the necessity of fighting any tendency
of backsliding toward capitalism. *Once we started rounding up these
traitorious capitalist intellectuals, we have had less than unity
multiples of ration increases and we think there is a capitalist plot
to sabotage food production. *Even with the executions of those who do
not meet minimum quotas, we still cannot inspire the farmers to
produce more. *They claim they don’t have enough fuel, the traitors..

Krause: *….and I think I am being followed……..

Commissar: *Ahhh Comrade, we have to take every step to root out
capitalist tendencies and nobody AND I MEAN NOBODY is above suspicion,
even YOU Comrade Krause.

Krause: *Me………what?

The commissar moves papers around in a file with a malevolent sneer.

Commissar: *Yes, COMRADE (said with a mocking sneer), allegations that
YOU attended that bastion of capitalist training, YALE. *We found no
records of you there but YOU have friends who could have purged them
and there are these “rumors” from certain places on the internet.

Krause: *No, sir, it was just a joke and I have been faithful since
even before the War with Libya.

Commissar: *AHA, capitalist swine, We have never been at war with
Libya but have ALWAYS been at war with the vile jews in Israel. Your
own capitalist tendencies finally come out. *Of course, we also have
the rumors of your yacht you capitalist vermin.
Krause cringes.

Krause: *Sir, I have no yacht, it’s only a bass boat really blue
collar.

Commissar: *Right Krausie, I quote, “A Parker, like a lobster
boat”……..A fancy yacht on which you eat lobster with the rest of the
degenerate capitalists eh?

The commissar reaches under the lip of his desk and pushes a button
and two uniformed thugs march in and grab Krause’s arms.

Krause: *Sir……….NO……….

The Commissar brushes off his hands and shoulders as if something
nasty was on him and addresses the two guards.

Commissar: *Don’t waste a bullet on him, march him off the end of the
dock as he likes “fishing”.

Took a long time to write nothing but ****....hmmmm. You need help.

Took me about 2 minutes to pull that outta my ass. Worth it for Harry.
