Today is a quiet day. Or was a quiet day.
I had meetings. Naturally it got noisy. Very noisy. In fact the neighbors decided to have some trees cut down.

I paid the men a visit and subtly encouraged them to go with something a bit more quiet - like explosives and large sheets of metal. I didn't speak Spanish so they just stood there and looked at me strangely. Oddly this is the same effect I have on English-speaking members of the public.
Quantum computers only work if no one is observing them.
