Big shot! Ahem!

I'm Irving Munch, market security guard.

You remind me of someone...

When I was young, we used to joke that we're all the same in our country: our faces are grey from coal dust, and only the whites of our eyes are visible.

The weather sucks.

What did you want? Ugh...

Fall sucks. Then again, that country is always draped in the same depressing grey...

Not like the good old days.

Any news?

What news? I'm an old soldier...

Ah, actually, yes! I struck a real deal last week!

You

What deal?

I found half of a pack of wet foreign salt in the shed and sold it.

It was worthless before, but after the ban went into effect, someone gave me a fortune for it.

You

And how much was that?

for $300

You had illegal salt and didn't turn it in? That's a crime, old man!

Reply

What are you talking about? Where would an old guy get foreign salt? I don't even salt my food anymore.

Have you heard that's white death?

OLD TIMES

You keep talking about the good old days. Was it really that much better for you back then?

Reply

Ugh! Ugh!

You know, life was more difficult back then.

Store shelves were packed tight with groceries.

Ugh...

But hardly anyone could afford even a piece of the abundance...

You had to work a lot and think even more. And now everything is decided for you.

You just appear at work and get what you're due.

I can't even obtain the crappiest tobacco.

LISTEN TO EXPLANATION

And how can you explain that?

Reply

I don't know what got into me.

I'm tired of living like trash. Ugh, ugh, ugh...

I used to build airplanes. I flew them, too! Now I have to be a security guard! UGH!

You

Damn. Now what should I do with you?

Reply

Hey, listen, don't tell on me, boy, OK? I'm too old to go to jail...

I'm good at drawing. Want me to fix it?

I received an order to hang propaganda banners.

I spent hours putting them on, and then I found out one of the banners was ruined!

Once the auditor is here, it won't be just me; the whole building will be in deep water!

Geez...

Sorry, buddy. I'm old; I didn't consider the consequences...

Ugh! Ugh!

I can't bear all of these lies anymore.

And poor kids. They're like sponges, sucking in all of that propaganda crap...

You

So it's your fault?
