Difficult Technicalties
"And that's your forecast for tonight. Barbara..."
Barbara smirked, "Thank you, Jim, for that insightful report. A warm front definitely moved into the city last night. An old girlfriend named Rhonda, right? I bet it got real humid once she settled over you for the night, huh?"
Jim fidgeted, "Uh, Barbara, perhaps this isn't the time to discuss this."
"Oh, it's the perfect time to discuss it, you two-timing bastard!"
"Barbara, please..."
"I did everything for you! I wore the nun's outfit!"
"Barbara, can we get back to the news?"
"Get bent, you lousy motherfu..."
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep...
Please stand by...

Love it, Christopher. Took me a second or two to catch on that it was a news studio. Love the nun's outfit. Looks like pretty stormy weather! :-)

Thank you both. I hoped people would be able to figure it out. Sometimes the drabble format can be rather restricting.

I got to thinking about the station that I grew up watching the local news on. The two main anchors, both married to other people, had been having an affair that eventually blew up and caused the female anchor to abruptly quit and leave town. They never had an on-air incident, though.
Oh, and the weatherman that had done the weather for something like 30 years was fired when it came out that he was a closeted homosexual and a cocaine addict (fired for the latter, not the former).
Interesting news desk, to say the least.
