Well, we're s-sitting here watching our computer monitor and...” “And what son, ah'm very busy, like I said. You know those terrorists ain't gonna wait all day, you know that don'tcha?” “Yes sir, I know. It's just that, we're pretty sure we're receiving a message sir.” “A what?” “A message from another planet sir. A planet trillions of miles from here. Probably more like a hundred trillion miles sir. Can you believe it?” “What's it say?” he asked. “Read it to me.” “So far sir, all we have is a letter “B”. A bright red letter “B”.” “That all? That's what's innerupted mah golf game? A letter “B”? Look son, why don'tch call me back when the whole thing comes through. Ah gotta bad hook taday ah gotta sort out, an it ain't gonna get done on the phone, you read me?” “I read you sir, but I'm watching a second letter appear as we speak. It's another letter sir. The letter “U”.” “Okay, okay. I'll play the game. Anything else? Any other letters?” “Yes! “ I shouted into the phone. “We have another letter coming through sir. The letter is an “S”, can you believe it. They're sending us a message in English sir. It must be very important to them to have sent it in English so that we can understand it. Isn't it fantastic Mr. President!” “Ah suppose. Anything else...wait a minute son.” I heard the president say, as he covered the mouthpiece of the phone with his hand. “Hold on there dad! Be with ya in a minute. Somebody from Puerto Rico on the phone. Yeah..., go on now. Ya got mah full attention. Any more letters in the message, or code, or whatever it is?” “There is sir! The next letter is an “H”! It appears that they've spelled your name sir! Can you imagine that?!” “Well, at least these be'ins from the edges a our solair system have good taste. Now son, if you'll allow me ta get back ta mah game...” “But sir, there's more! That's not the entire message! Wait...there's a whole word appearing on our screen. It's coming in plain as day sir. This is so exciting!!” “Okay, lay it on me. What's it say? What's the second word?” “It's, it's hard to say, sir?” “Whaddaya mean, ‘hard ta say'? Ya jes told me a second ago it was a com'in in plain as day, didn'tcha?” “Yes...I, I guess I did, didn't I.” “Well then, what's it say? Read it ta me. Now is not the time ta be shy, son. Go on.” “Well sir, the second word is; ‘SUCKS'. The message reads...'BUSH SUCKS'” And without further hesitation, I heard the President hang up his handset, bringing our one time conversation to a curt, but enlightening closure. “What did he say?” asked Jody. “We had to tell him the truth, didn't we? I mean, we couldn't lie to him. He's the President. You can't lie to the President of the United States.” “Yeah, I know,” I replied. “There was no way out. There's just one thing I wanna know now.” “What's that?” asked Dr. Wesley. “You think they'll cut spending to the program?” “Whadda you think?” Tweet
