*Sitting in senior lounge*
Rebs: Who wants to write a monocle article with me, right here, right now.
Helen: Fine, Rebs. Stop standing on the table.
*Rebs reluctantly climbs down*
Rebs: Okay, now we just need an idea.
Helen: Ah! I have such a good idea. How about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church? We could make it so funny.
Rebs: Look, I know you’re new to the satire world, but it has to be based on truth. Come on, Helen!
Helen: You’re so smart, Rebs. I know none of my ideas would be as funny as yours… but what about a fake open house tour where the students say really bad things about the school instead of, like, Barrack Propaganda.
Rebs: I don’t know… it seems a little bit too ridiculous. Think more on the lines of… listing our favorite flavors of dog food!
Helen: Gosh Rebs, I don’t know how you come up with this stuff! Guess that’s why you’re Editor-in-Chief!
Rebs: It’s okay, Helen. One day you’ll get to be as good as me, although it might take a while. And you won’t be AS good. Ever. But close. Maybe.
Helen: Oh, well you know I’m actually the editor-in-chief of the Cougar’s Chronicle
Rebs: Haha. That publication is such a joke.
