Overheard in the Office...

Bobbi is reading an '80s SF novel in the cyberpunk subgenre...
RX: "I don't think he knows much about cattle butchering. Twice now a cow has been killed off-camera and then people are eating steaks a very short time later. And he keeps making up calibers. He gave one character an HK 7mm pistol."

Me: "He knows 9mm is a real caliber, and Future Bullets are smaller. By giving somebody a smaller caliber, that's how you know it's the future, like having a black or woman president."
