Hmmm. Time travel prevention. Y’know, I wouldn’t be surprised if the NSA did handle that.

I’m surprised he didn’t guess that his daughter was responsible as soon as he answered the door.

Yes. Exhibit A: “A Musical Joke” (Ein musikalischer Spaß), K. 522, Divertimento for two horns and string quartet, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

They’re ringers. The real Time Travel Prevention Division would have gone back to before the anomaly and simply kept it from occurring.
luvcmx about 11 years ago
No, they are not ringers, they are knockers.

Ironic that the government should claim to have no humor, as they produce such prodigious volumes of absurdity.

Why does the smaller NSA agent have a larger ID than the big NSA agent? Shouldn’t IDs be identical?
danketaz Premium Member about 11 years ago

Reminds me of the Tommy Lee Jones line from “Men in Black”….. “No Ma’am, the FBI doesn’t have a sense of humor that it’s aware of.”I thought it was one of the best lines in the movie.

The gov’t is mostly a joke; is that why they have so many 4 letter agencies?

A quote from Doctor Who fits very well here. As one Doctor prepared to “regenerate” into the next Doctor a constable who was in the room said it best “Well here we go again!”
