"Hey, have you seen the Feinbergs?"
"Didn't you hear? They're dead."
"What?!? How did that happen?"
"They ate the leftover pulled pork."
"You mean the pulled pork from 3 weeks ago?"
"Yeah, that's the stuff. We ought to send out a memo to not eat bad pork."
"Hey, let's say is was a message from God, that will have more authority."
