The Secret Life

This all reminds me of Walter Mitty, the finest creation of the blind, truculent misogynist James Thurber.

“ACTIVATE THE GOLDFISH!”
“GOLDFISH ACTIVATED, SIR!”
“INITIALIZE PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR!”
“INITIALIZED! WE ARE COMING ON TARGET!”
“3… 2… 1… BOMBS AWAY!”
“DIRECT HIT, SIR!”
“WELL DONE ALL AROUND!”
“NO SURVIVORS, SIR. GREAT JOB!”
“PRAISE THE LORD!”
“THE LORD IS A MAN OF WAR!”
“WE ARE ALL MEN OF WAR.”
“PREPARE THE BILL!”
“BILL CALCULATING, SIR… WE’VE GOT IT. TOTAL IS $18 MILLION.”
“BILL THEM!”
“PRINTING THE INVOICE… FOLDING… INSERTING… LICKING… SEALING…”
“IT’S DESTINY, MEN!”
“STAMPING… POSTING… BILL AWAY!”
“THE BILL IS AWAY!”
“WE ARE MEN OF WAR AND DESTINY.”
