As luck would have it I was outside Ed's window on that hot and windy
day. A large falling object struck me on the head and after being
momentarily stunned I picked it up and looked at it. It was stamped "Top
Secret" but since it had bonked me I felt I had every right to open it up
and find out who was bonking me. The contents were anti-climactic. Just a
bunch of departmental re-organization plans and a proposal for a move to a
new office building.
