For your mocking pleasure...

I was tooling around in Hong Kong, where Wikipedia was holding an all-out gala celebrating its initial stock offering, to which I had been sent by a General Wong to more or less keep an eye on the proceedings. The distrust I felt towards my assignment was justified when he sent a jet airliner into the party, fucking shit up whole. I managed to escape, somehow, with relatively minor injuries, and perhaps the best exchange in any dream I've ever had:
Person: Dude, you have a hole in your face.
Me: No shit.
It turned out the General sabotaged the celebration because he felt Wikipedia's success would be bad for the tech industry, drawing talented geeks away from smaller, startup companies and stunting the economy's growth. Meanwhile, I managed to make it back home, and had a very tense phone conversation with Mr. Wong in which he tried to assure me that he had nothing against me personally and would not send any goons after me, while I tried to curry his favor by asking him if there was any business in the States I could deal with for him.
