BREAKING: Classified documents discovered at my house

ATLANTA, Jan. 24 - At a 1:00 p.m. ET news conference tomorrow, longtime DUer Pinback is expected to reveal the discovery of several classified documents at his Atlanta-area residence. The documents are believed to be printouts of emails from his time as a contractor at {REDACTED}, Inc.

"I had no idea I had anything like that," Pinback reportedly told a confidant, saying he found them in an old manila folder in the bottom drawer of his filing cabinet. "To tell you the truth," he allegedly told the source, "I hardly ever look in there. It's pretty disorganized, and kind of scary, really."

The long-forgotten emails are believed to contain "parodies of corporate announcements written with co-workers and several draft resignation letters."

You can now sort homes on Zillow by whether or not they come with classified documents.

Why, those investors trusted me with their nest eggs! How was I to know that mistakes would be made and assets would evaporate, $199.99 at a time?

I just checked the white woven ratan basket between the handlebars of my bicycle and low and behold....

Classified Documents.

Hopefully I will be able to cram them in a generic looking backpack and leave them somewhere around the corner where I never go (usually) and drop them in a stairwell or doorway.

I'm going to rub them all in bacon grease first, though. Hopefully, that will disguise any fingerprints and create a smelly trap for someone who will then get blamed for having them when their prints are found all over them.

Because we all know... nobody can resist bacon!
