I think it may be worse than some have actually shown, especially considering the American press's reticence to show dead bodies (not that I really think this is a bad thing).

In better news, managing partner has Red Sox/Yankees tix he can't use, so he's auctioning a pair and raffling another for the Red Cross. $900 won the auction. Got my fingers crossed on that raffle; Bob would die if I got Sox/Yankees tickets.
Yes, Bob would. I would kill him and impersonate him as I accompanied you to the stadium.
"No, no, no! I disbelieve it. It didn't happen. Not my woobie!"
