10.1 Dr. Anon to You
Host:
On this week's show, we have Anonymous, that one-
named wonder who is in the class of artists like Madonna,
Micheangelo and the Artist Formerly Known as Prince,
who are so big they can live on one name alone. He, or
perhaps she, is the author of many of the most incendiary
works in the world. We're lucky we could get himor her on
the show today, even though he or she would only agree
to appear via a blurred video link. [beat] Mr. Anonymous
(or should I say Ms. Anonymous?), it's great to have you
on the show.
Anon:
Make it Dr. Anonymous. That will solve the gender prob-
lem. I was just granted an honorary doctorate last June.
Host:
Congratulations! That must be quite an honor. Did they
choose you because of your writings? It says here on my
briefing sheet that you've written numerous warm and
romantic novels like the
Federalist Papers
. Great stuff.
Anon:
Actually, the
Federalist Papers
weren't a book until they
were collected. It really wasn't a romantic set of papers,
although it did have a rather idealistic notion of what
Congress could be.
Host:
Sexual congress. Now that's a euphemism I haven't heard
for a while. You're from the old school, right? That's where
you got the degree?
Anon:
Well...
Host:
This explains why you're so hesitant to get publicity, right?
It's too flashy.
