Good Camoflage
(5)
----------
After introductions they board a large black SUV with darkly tinted windows. The three Kansas volunteers are, Hymie Golden, driver, Susan Silver, and her husband Robert Silver. As soon as all are aboard, Golden starts driving toward the first Hays on-off ramp to Interstate 70. The leader of the Kansas group appears to be Robert Silver.
RS: "We have 15 cars spaced at intervals from here to the Oklahoma-Texas border.
WG: "Jesus. Fifteen?"
RS: "Well, a nine is so rare... damn near everybody wanted to get a piece of the action. We get pretty bored here in Kansas." (could not contact blogger)
WG: "You all from Salina?"
RS: "Yes. In fact most of the spotters are too. I think every Jew in Kansas lives either in Salina or Wichita (I obviously forgot about Topeka).
WG: "Really? Why so?"
RS: "Apparently we don't take much to farming. Most everybody here is either a lawyer or a pediatrician. Of the sixty spotters on the road now, half are lawyers and the other half are pediatricians."
WG: "You need to do something about that. It wouldn't look good..."
RS: "Were aware of the potential problem there, and in fact we've already taken steps to become more diverse in the 'occupational demographics' area. We even have a couple - lawyers - boning up on welfare law just in case - G-d forbid - worse comes to worst and we need to demonstrate a case of Jewish indigence. So. What's with this nine?
WG: "He should be arriving in Hays in about 30 minutes. He's being tracked by a couple carloads of my people and they've been keeping me up on his position."
WG: (to Golden) "Park in that lot next to McDonalds. We'll wait for him there. I want to track exactly two miles behind him, and I want a spotter exactly a half mile behind him keeping him in sight at all times. If he stops I want to know immediately. Anybody for lunch?
HG: (incredulously) "MacDonalds?!"
WG: "Good camoflage."
SS: "I'll have a quarter-pounder, small fries, diet coke."
BB: "Big Mac. large fries, half and half."
