**unwitting Dope[r]**: “What plan is that, Boss? Hih? Huh? Huh?”

**Bosda** : “While they are all wollowing in their supposed safety from my e-mail replies, I carefully compile a list of cute kitten names…”

But…but…How will I know what to do when confronted with a moral dilemma? I generally ask “What Would Bosda Do?”.

Sorry 'bout that. Should have turned on my voice mail. Don’t concern yourself over me, though. Direct all your energy to worrying about our beloved **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor!**

Your post saying you were headed to the bathroom was at 10:08 AM. **Rufus Xavier** raised the alarm and tried to find you at 10:10 AM. You finally answered at 1:38 PM. By my math that’s about three and a half hours before you replied. Did everything come out ok?

Enjoy,

He was, no doubt, trying to follow **gaucho** ’s suggestion.

I don’t think that’s the way he meant it, though.

Oh, I don’t know…I find it adds a certain _structure_ to my schedule.

Get up, two cups of coffee, cigarette, take dump, **Bosda**.

Egg salad on whole wheat, iced tea no sugar, **Bosda**.

Little black dress, cocktails and canapes, **Bosda**.

And, like Dr. Pepper, at ten, two, and four.

Something like this:

Bosda is  
 at his desk  
 on the phone with the pope  
 trying to take over the world  
[X]Masturbating like a Motherf\*ck!!!

Well, that, and the fact that the staff are all a bunch of communist liberal wankers. You especially. 😃

Has Bosda been back at all? My guess is he’s wisely shunning this thread. 🙂
