A single comic panel shows three men. A red-haired man in a yellow shirt and red tie speaks urgently to a gray-haired military officer in a green uniform: "Sir! Sir! There's a problem with the guns we just shipped! They get extremely hot when fired!" The officer, looking dismayed, replies, "Oh dear god." A third man stands between them. The caption reads: "There was a bit of a snag in the heat-seeking bullets program" - the joke being that the engineers misunderstood the goal, making bullets that get hot rather than bullets that track heat. Votey: A bearded man wakes startled in bed, asking a ghostly figure looming over him, "T- two A.M.? Is that you?" The ghost (the cartoonist's personified deadline) snaps, "Write earlier you stupid shiiiiit."
