Interestingly, there are no pictures of a U.S. federal government bureaucrat, so I’ve decided to correct the deficiency, myself.
Hmm. Must have gone outside for a smoke. Let’s poke around his office and see what it’s like.
Perhaps he likes to keep in mind that Brazil doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the U.S. (you know, just in case).
Map’s a little out of date. Isn’t that the Austro-Hungarian Empire?
Some interesting books; although they don’t all seem to be work-related...
What have we got here, emergency supplies? A bottle of Maker’s Mark and a box of…Happy Balls??? Let’s take a closer look. Hmmmm… “Guaranteed Genuine Handmade Kentucky Bourbon Candy”…
I wonder what some of those foreign bureaucrats would think of all this?
"%&!#@ gringo!
Those foreign bureaucrats would be jealous of that Federal bureaucrat, Paco, I'm sure of it.
ReplyDeleteEspecially because of the candy....
That's curious. The U.S. federal crat has a nice, soft, padded leather chair. His visitors seem to get an old, unpadded, hard wooden chair.

I - or, rather, the bureaucrat in question, heh - probably likes to discourage long visits.
ReplyDeleteGee, when I was a federal bureaucrat we were lucky to have our own cubicle.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, think the cigars may have given you away Paco.
ReplyDeleteHow many other fed offices were raided to supply sufficient 'paper' for that photo?
ReplyDeleteCheers
Wooden chair? Luxury. When I had an office, I got rid of all the visitors chairs. It's amazing how short meetings are when there's nowhere to sit. People tell you what they want, then they get lost.
ReplyDeleteB on a B: I believe that chair usually has a stack of papers in it.
ReplyDeleteMaker's Mark, eh? I knew I hitched my horse to the right bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the "bureaucrat in question" has decent taste in booze and smokes. Mes compliments au chef!
