[December 12, 10:02 a.m. A notebook-wielding 76-year-old apparatchik approaches boy-king Kim Jong-un, who is following the progress of North Korea’s latest long-range rocket test.]
Apparatchik: Sir, I am happy to inform you that the rocket has launched successfully.
[Still gazing at the large monitor in front of him, Kim Jong-un lights a cigarette and takes a long, slow drag.]
Kim Jong-un: You’re God damn right it did.
Fin.
