...World Congress of Accountants is a summit where 5,000 bean counters meet to discuss the industry's searing issues, like solar vs. battery-powered calculators or the long-awaited switch to No. 3 pencils. Usually it would be the dullest four days this side of, well, a meeting with 5,001 accountants, but thanks to the bookkeeping debacles at kleptocorporations like Enron, once-ignored accountants are suddenly the mysterious bad boys of the corporate world. This year's congress was the perfect chance for the tarnished industry to pick itself up, dust itself off and blame Kenneth...
...usually as thunderous, and joyfully welcomed, as the yearly monsoon. But Musharraf prefers it dull, and that is how it is: the Pakistan Muslim League and the PPP combined normally get more than 50% of the popular vote, but now their camps are apathetic, producing one of the dullest campaigns in memory.

There was hope that Masako would rattle the gilded cages, but she has faded into royal anonymity. These are, frankly, the world's dullest monarchs...
...humbly propose that the best solution to the problem of grade inflation would be a return to student rank. In each class, large and small, the professor should list the students in order, from the brightest to the dullest. Only then should the professor begin assigning grades, awarding the top students with glowing A’s, and slowly working down the ladder to the dismal depths...
