Mini Drama: Sturmabteilung 3
Among the hearing participants, some stayed put, some cast curious eyes outside with craned necks, some stood up and began to pace around or away, but nobody was seriously scared, nor were there any corporeal conflicts between the two sides, clearly showing a tacit sense that those forcible-feeble gofers dare not indulge themselves into any tangible transgressions in earnest, contrary to what they vaunted early amid Mutt Gaets' pep-talk.
Shortly after, Schiff got through to Pelosi and told her what happened to his closed door hearing.
Pelosi: Eh! Not bad! You've experienced long calm spells, isn't a rare storm an alternative relish?
Schiff feigned to worry badly: Uh, stop piling on our agony with your black humor. The mob's testing the Capitol Police in capability and promptness, testing hearing participants in patience and equanimity as well as ~~~~
Pelosi cut him short: Oh, Schiff, things are not so serious. Don't get daunted by the storm troopers in name only, for quite some may be press-ganged. Give them a diversion, the mob can be scattered soon.
Schiff: Uh~~~good. But what kind of diversion?
Pelosi: Be attentive. Don't neglect items of daily consumption, and certainly you'll hit it.
Schiff looked around, silent for seconds but soon Pelosi's voice rang to his ears:Why not treat them to some snacks? Say, cookie, pizza, shortbread~~~ Schiff:Pizza! Eureka! Most of these pitiable gofers run errands empty-bellied, and we have stored enough pizzas. Terrific tip! Thanks!
Schiff hang up and let a Capitol employee seek pizzas for that bunch of bozos. Soon the employee came out with a bin of pizzas either half-done or overdone, or either crusty or rusty. Schiff frowned on these unsightly pizzas: Lordy! All look like molding from stool hoopers, and smell a bit stale at that. Just these left?
The employee nodded helplessly: Yeah! Right.
Schiff: Oh, how came?
Employee:Not clear. Maybe the bakers on morning shift happened to be rookies.
Schiff: Uh~~well, the situation is too pressing to allow us to be considerate. Hand them out.
