MORE QUESTIONING EXPECTED ON AFGHAN DETAINEES
April 27, 2007
“Let’s see... I think I’ll have the Cowpoke Stack of Flapjacks, extra sausages and some dry white toast, what are you having Stockwell?”

“Well Gordon, I’ll have a poached egg on a granola wafer and some gluten free tea.”

“Excellent choices gentleman. And for you Mr. Harper?”

“Waffles! I must have waffles, forthwith. Bring me your finest assortment.”

“So we have one stack of flapjacks, extra sausage, dry white toast, a poached egg on granola, gluten free tea, and the Waffles of the World?”

“That’s not what I said!”

“I’m terribly sorry Mr. O’Connor, did I miss something?”

“Oatmeal. I want oatmeal. And throw some prunes in there too while you’re at it.”

“Excellent choice. Which would you like first, the flapjacks or the oatmeal or the dry white toast?”

“What are you talking about? I said I wanted a bowl of Sugar Crisp and toss in a few sliced strawberries before that sugarbear gets them again.”

“I’m confused.”

“Actually, I heard from one of my people in Afghanistan that a great way to start your day is with a bowl of wild rice with some sprouts sprinkled on top.”

“I’m sorry Mr. Day, are you changing your order too?”

“I’ll handle this Stockwell.”

“Thanks Stephen.”

“You obviously haven’t been listening to what we’ve been saying. We’re trying to order cheeseburgers.”

“I thought you were ordering breakfast.”

“What’s the matter with you? Don’t you support our troops? Gentlemen, I’d say we’re ready for today’s Question Period. Wouldn’t you agree?”

“Agreed!”
