Cartoon Transcript:

In a neighborhood where the buildings have signs such as "TNPQ" and "RDH," a tourist couple is looking at a book called "The NP Sector on $5 a Day." Around the corner a woman says to a man: "Where's the GPTR office? I'm dropping off my NTR for the STWA program sponsored by CMDI." The man, dressed in a corporate-looking suit and holding a briefcase, says, "I'm sorry, I don't speak Acronym."
