JANE and Dick had finally been recognized.
They were so thrilled with the creative fee they’d been offered that they’d spent the entire windfall before they billed the project.

Dick and Jane love democracy and hate seeing cluster bombs used on telegenic civilians but as professionals, they have a service to sell.
Strangely enough, their anonymous clients seemed even more thrilled with their fee than they were.
The Does weren‘t aware that they’d been bargaining in rubles, now at .0075 to 1 USD.
