You have a different conception of 'job' than the rest of us. I wish I
only had to go into work once a year!
Seriously, though, to concieve of Zoyd's annual window jump as work he
does for the Government, and to extrapolate that to brand Zoyd a
stooge or collaborator is, literally, insane.

I cannot think of any way in which you could be more wrong in this
'interpretation'. You are either laying some sort of arch game, or
you're nuts.
