I love that C&H strip and repeat it often.

Funny the coincidence that all these stories happen in southern/fly-over states. God, do I hate the proud stupidity of the Midwest and Deep South (full disclosure: my ex-wife is from IL.)

Having worked there some years ago, I can tell you Bethesda is mostly staffed in upper management by risk adverse, CYA, local yokels - hardly anyone there has ever worked at another studio, so they think everything they do is magic and unicorns, and woe if you contradict them.
