A.1. and the Secretary

by Jesse Eric Whitehead

Tony watched the evening news, amused as the Secretary of Education referred to “A1” instead of “AI” in a discussion about technology in schools. He rolled his eyes at her gaff.

Suddenly, he craved a juicy steak smothered in A.1. Sauce for dinner. At the store, he selected a sirloin, but there was no A.1. Sauce on the shelves. A store associate said there had been a run on A.1. earlier, and they were out of stock. 

“Seems the secretary’s skills are better suited for sales than education,” Tony chuckled, as he drove home with his steak and Heinz 57.
