5. Omigosh, but this is *Perfect*
I work for the state of Florida.

All the jokes are real. We *really* don't have a clue about how to vote, and the Repukes are running amok; we voted for "Jeb" twice. Enough said.

Today my "big boss" burst into a staff meeting screaming that "the flu is out of control, and the government has declared a Code Orange!"

I stared him in the face and asked "So, Tom. What is it that you want us to do?" He had no answer. We ran out of vaccine a week ago. We *still* don't what the heck a CODE ORANGE means. Should we prepare for a flood of plague victims? Avoid the Mall? Back up our hard disks?

Excuse me if I believe that Code Orange translates to "Panic Now!" And that GHW Bush and his brother Jeb encourage this sort of mindless reaction.
