"There are days," Ray says to no one in particular as he comes through the door, "when I really wish I didn't read the newspaper."

He plops down in his favorite seat near the door and orders breakfast and extra strong coffee from one of the rats. He's going to need it to get through the article in the paper about a pair of supposed bottled ghosts

"And how," came a comment from Daniel Jackson sitting at a similar table near the other, "What does yours say?"

"Someone's selling what she claims are bottled souls at auction," Ray says without looking up. "Without independent verification of their status, you understand. I'm just glad this isn't in the United States."

Daniel looked horrified.

"If they were that is very unethical," said Daniel.

"Given that the description of the auction sounds significantly more like she was trading in exorcised ghosts rather than actual human souls it's also horrifically misleading advertising," Ray says. "Not to mention her containment protocols are completely off the rocker assuming that she's actually managed to extract anything spiritual in the first place."

"I would be worried that they'd get out," said Daniel, "And I still think that selling ghosts is still unethical. What are her containment protocols?"

"Holy water," Ray says. "Two bottles of holy water. A completely inadequate storage medium for anything other than certain very low-ranking members of the Infernal hierarchy, and by 'very low' I mean they'd be lucky to boss around the spirits of evil paperclips and not get smacked for their presumption. Holy water isn't a containment medium, it's a temporary disruption mechanism at best."

Daniel had a bad visual of a paperclip slapping people.

"Yeah... That's funny," said Daniel.

"I wouldn't laugh. It happens. And it gets worse; I've been attacked by anarchist cinnamon buns twice now, and one burrito that started screaming when an NYPD detective bit into it, and wouldn't stop until we fed it to a shark."

"That's... bad," said Daniel.
