    I Lost a Bet

    I recently lost a bet. I didn’t believe the Turkish government had an “Office for Human Abductions and Executions”. Apart from the lack of euphemism for such a dirty business, including “Human” in the title seemed odd to me. Would they execute a journalist but not his cat?

    But I was wrong. As the saying goes, no matter how cynical I get, I can’t keep up.

    Who did you bet against and what do you have to pay up?

    A friend, who is not usually so well-informed. I said nobody would use that title. Even the Russians aren’t that up front about their thugs and assassins.

    It cost me a bottle of moderately priced whiskey. So don’t try defending Erdogan to me.

    No, no, they were obviously differentiating between human and alien abductions, Silly.

    Just when you think humanity can’t get more depraved… I wonder what North Korea calls their department that performs the same functions? That would be interesting to know.
