  "Marlowe! Here! Now!" screamed Lando King the editor and owner of the Newspaper where Jim Marlowe worked as a reporter. 
  "Sounds like you got Lando really angry, said his friend Lance Alexander, who also worked there. 
  "Yeah," Jim said and rushed off to their boss's office to see Lando. 
  Jim timidly opened Lando's office door and walked scaredly into the room. 
  "Marlowe what took you so long to get here, did you come here via Tasmania?" shouted Lando. Jim grimaced nervously. 
  "No sir," said Jim, thinking it must have been the article he wrote for yesterday's paper. 
  It was.  
  "How dare you try to put such idealistic tripe in my paper," shouted Lando, throwing a pile of papers at Jim. They were the article he submitted for editing and the notes on it. 
  "It wasn't tripe, Sir, it was the truth," Jim shouted back. 
  It was his second mistake talking back to Lando the control freak. 
  "The Earth does go round the Sun it's scientific a fact!" the livid Jim shouted. 
  "You precocious upstart," said the skeptical Lando, "get out of my newspaper!" shouted Lando. 
  "See you tomorrow, Mr. King, when you have calmed down a bit," said Jim. 
  "No you are fired, never stain my floors and paper again," shouted a furious Lando. 
  "No you can't fire me I quit," shouted Jim.
