PARTIES ARGUE OVER DEBTS TO FLOOR CROSSING KHAN
Topic: January 17, 2007
"Stardate zero one, one seven, two zero, zero seven. The Progressive Conservative Political Cruise Ship, The S.S. Photo-op, on its mission of unknown duration has gone into a fuzzy orbit around a little known destination called Elections Canada."
"Mr. Flaherty. To the bridge!"
"Aye sir."
"While we're waiting for our Financial Officer to arrive, perhaps you can tell me why we're in this mess in the first place. Who'd like to go first? Hmmm? Nobody? You, yes you, why won't any of you come up with an explanation?"
"Me sir?"
"Yes."
"Well sir, it's just that uh, well..."
"Go on son."
"Well sir, it's just that if we tell you something that you don't like, well..."
"Go on..."
"If we tell you something you don't want to hear, we could end up like expendable crew member Ambrose sir."
"I thought I told you we would ever mention that name again. For that breach, I am making you..."
"Please sir don't..."
"I'm appointing you the Minister in charge of tracking all other Minister's photo opportunities."
"But sir! That's impossible. No one man or woman could ever keep track of such a portfolio. It's too massive!"
"Do I need to call security?"
"No sir, I'll go."
"Flaherty reporting as ordered sir."
"So explain to me why we should pay the campaign debts of a Liberal who crossed the floor to our ship?"
"The Liberals argue that we should have done a lien check first sir. We might have to pay."
"Khan... KHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!"
