Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Mickey Garvey,
Train Conductor
"Doesn't the Treasury Department know you can get much better fares to enemy nations on Priceline?"

Molly Vicks,
Optometrist
"As long as we're on the subject, should we just go ahead and fine them for booking trips to Topeka? I have never visited a hotter, more boring city than Topeka, Kansas."

Damien Prow,
Farm Laborer
"I was one of the people who booked a trip and even if I have to pay the whole fine, it's still cheaper than having my surgery done in the States."
