An Interview On Live TV [FICTOID]
“Good evening, and welcome to Below The Nipple, the talk show for jet setters with jet lag -- jet slackers, as it were.
“Tonight’s guest is Bishop Shemple of the Church of the Denim Amoeba.”
“Thank you for having me, Chuck.”
“Bishop, let’s cut straight to the chase: Are you ripping off your parishioners by offering them protection from impish infestation?”
“Well, Chuck, I resent your implication we’re doing anything illegal, immoral, or fattening. The Church of the Denim Amoeba offers unlimited salvation and eternal bliss in addition to our imp removal services.”
“But that’s the crux of the matter, isn’t it? Do these imps actually exist?”
“Of course they do.”
“Can you show us one?”
“Well, they’re quite small, actually. Hardly bigger than an apricot and sepia in color.”
“Do you have one available to show us?”
“Heavens, no! They’re extremely dangerous.”
“So you claim they exist, yet you can’t show evidence of them?”
“Of course not -- proof positive our service works!”
