KATHY FROM ACCOUNTING HAS THE BLUEST EYES IN OCEANIA


As Heard Throughout Oceania, May 14th, 1984

ATTENTION OCEANIA. YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!

A newsflash this moment has just arrived from the Eurasian front. The men of Oceania were successful in the capture of the Malabar Front. After a gruesome battle the victory of Oceania is all but certain. Following this announcement will be a list of the deceased who battle heroically for the glory of Oceania.

We have Big Brother to thank for this. Big Brother, always watching, has led the people of Oceania to victory. Also, Big Brother wishes to reach out and say hi to Kathy from the accounting department in the Ministry of Truth. He likes your eyes. They're pretty and very becoming on you... and if that's a thoughtcrime, than sue him... because he can't control his desire to stare at them.

Praise be to Oceania.
