Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.
Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they are a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them.
Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for cyclone or a hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory.
Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.

    ah, it's good that I caught you here with this thingie that puzzles me for some time: I've seen this ${hi-ascii-char} trick before, but I forgot to ask then, what's that? a pure abuse or is it documented somewhere?
