"Shhh! I'm listening! Are you fifty-one, are you fifty-two..."

"Be quiet, damn you. Ok, he just turned 58. Did you get that?"
Yes, chief. I got that. When I pointed the laser at the balloons, I could clearly see a "five" balloon, and an "eight" balloon, and while Raganwald has some very old-fashioned ideas about programming, I don't think he's eighty-five.
"Good work. Now make me another coffee."
