>>
>> "Yes, I was just about to meet with the Belgian Prime Minister.  One
>> person distracted me while another hit me with a cream pie."
>>
>> "We've had other customers report that they were hit in the face with a
>> custard pie.  Are you sure it was a cream pie?"
>>
>> "Well, I have white stuff all over my face and I don't see any custard,
>> so I really don't think it was a custard pie."
>>
>> "Have you visited the Prime Minister before?"
>>
>> "Yes."
>>
>> "Were you hit in the face with a pie then?"
>>
>> "No."
>>
>> "Hmmm ... have you visited any other Prime Ministers in the past month?"
>>
>> "Yes."
>>
>> "Any pies then?"
>>
>> "No."
>>
>> "Okay, well ... let's try something.  Go outside the building and come
>> in again.  I'll wait."
>>
>> "Just a minute..."  <several minutes pass>  "Okay, I'm back."
>>
>> "Did you get hit by another pie?"
>>
>> "Of course not."
>>
>> "Well sir, I don't know what could have caused the first pie, but it
>> looks like things are working fine now.  I'll make a note of the problem
>> though.  If it happens again, please note the exact details of the
>> situation and call us again.  Thank you for calling the Brussels Police
>> Department."  <click>
