(Scene: a small white, bald room in a Washington, DC airport. Two men in nondescript suits wait as several military police drag in a cocooned figure that is dropped into a chair.)
Military Policewoman #1: Evolution is a disease.
Man in Suit #1: (in a monotone, which he maintains throughout) God's Grace shine on thee, America.
(The Policewoman nods, and taps the figure cocooned in tape.)
MP #1: Here's the delivery, as promised.
Suit #1: Did he give you any trouble?
MP #1: Nah. He was about to proposition me, just as his file suggests, when I gave him the needle. Operation Happosai was a piece of cake.
Suit #2: Don't underestimate him. Darkpoet, as he calls himself, is a ruthless pervert whose crimes exceed even Heliogabalus.
MP #1: Did he work for Clinton in Defense?
Suit #2: No. Roman emperor.
MP #1: I thought they were running a democracy after we kicked the Fascists' asses out.
Suit #1: Nevermind. You did your duty. Let it go at that.
MP #1: What happens to this Darkpoet traitor after this?
Suit #2: Advanced brainwashing, most likely. Reprogramming him to report to us. Maybe a slot on the Christian Network, if he's got stage presence. The usual.
(The scene fades to black.)

@Fable: can't you at least turn him into a door to door Jehova's witness?
@Minerva: That's pretty extreme... you aren't helping your case much. Dorkpoet may work a deal and testify against you...

There's no case, except the one you think you have.
Who cares, anyway...

If he does, I'll email the Watchtower and the Awake.

Alright Minerva, I may let you off this time... but I will continue to keep you under *heavy* surveillance. I'll be reviewing video of you daily

Don't worry, I'm not a turn coat. Even if there is a death penalty.

"Surveillance"? So you are the one acting suspiciously lately around my flat...

We received a warning from the university's security about a man with dark hair and wearing a coat (in this warm weather) with video camera in his hand...

Nope, that wasn't me. I was the one with the zoom lense aimed at the window in your bath.

My bath...? You've got a wrong address, because my university flat only has a shower with no window.

You probably took photographs of a kitchen lady or a cleaner.

Maybe he's taking pictures of the Queen mum. Isn't that a hanging offence?

@Minerva: LMAO.

Tell the kitchen lady that forgets to close the blinds I said 'hi'.

@Weasel: that would explain why I had to use a wide angle lense...

Hang on a second... You thought I was so fat!!

My weight hasn't changed for um... (how old am I?

Oh, yes) ...for past 15 years or so. And I wear UK size 10!

What's a UK size 10 in non-UK terms, minus the shillings, pence, and left-side of the road driving?

@Minerva: IIRC Mrs. Sleep is *not* fat... she is.. um masticularly gifted

Um.. I don't have my diary to find what exactly UK size 10 is in the US. It's 38/40 in European size.
We don't use shillings any more. £1=100pence.
And the left-side driving is the correct side.

Maybe a UK 10 is the same as a US 10, in which case you're slightly slimmer than average. Sound right?
And driving on the left side of the road is merely a vestigal notion left over from cars used in Saxon days. Brits are soooo conservative.

It's a US 8, althouth they use the same baseline, American women insist on seeing the lower numbers so the scale has been fudged accordingly.
