Brodhead gets the news in China; confidential report

The place-card by the won-ton soup
Said it was Dickie’s chair.
The delicacies kept coming
But Dickie wasn’t there.

The dignitaries shook their heads
His absence was so odd.
He had been watching CNN
Then shouted out ...“Oh GOD!”

The Face that launched his Apology Tour
And a million faculty smears
Had just been indicted...MURDER ONE
The culmination of Dick’s career.

Up to his lovely room he ran
The blot slipped in the door.
(Friends say when things upset him
He’s “hid”like this before.)

He lay there on the hotel bed
He felt...”more sinning against than sinning”
Should he make like Charlie Sheen?
Call Steele and exclaim... “WINNING.”

No...His tummy was tied up in knots
Why he could hardly breathe..
So he just wrote down ... GREAT BIG NUMBERS
Then multiplied...by 43.

I am car-less at the moment, marooned out here on our little acreage. :chicky:

I need to write some stuff for my "other life" but c'mon Truth...all the interesting stuff is right here.

We're grateful for the marooning!

Joan: loved it!

Dickie always blamed the LAX players, never Mangum, for the
predicament they put him in. And the day he canceled the season
and fired Pressler, it was clear (crystal clear) that he was acting in anger.

So, given that he's hanging out in China, there are many sayings from
Confucius he might consider reading, like:

Quote:
 
Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

I'm still laughing. :roflmao: I understand that Brodhead's trip to China was most likely planned way in advance, but I can't help thinking of him as hiding out; leaving the country, conveniently avoiding depositions and the meltdown of CGM.

Great one, Joan.

Critique that one, Dickie!

I've chuckled all day while picturing BH in a dim hotel room or internet cafe reading Joan's poem.

Kudos, Joan. I can just see the drama... the lights, the camera, the action... the stunned, sickened look... or is that the pasty face with the falsetto smile?

Might The Great Doctor Richard Brodhead be tempted to seek asylum in China?

Bugs Bunny used to say "What a maroon!" But he didn't mean it in the positive sense like I mean it.
