i'll never stop being mystified by the fact that we have a 5 letter word that's pronounced exactly the same as the first letter of the word
- queueing
  
  Oh. Great. 5 vowels in a row. The language needed that.
  
  Blame the French.
  
  Slovak has the word for ice cream which is zmzrlina with 5 consonants in a row
  
  there's always an xkcd
  
  in a row
  
  Queueing, even.
  
  I can add Wrzeszcz for perspective. It may not be in a row, but no 8 letter word should have 3 zs
  
  Basically the opposite of Polish
- Queue, que, cue
  
  ¿que?
  
  q
  
  kew
  
  Bee, sea, jay, oh, pee, queue, tea, you, why, zed.
Why on earth would we want to see this?!

Oh dear, how many times "you might want to see this" needed unsee juice after that

M’am?
- The ' is for a'.
  
  But then you need another ' for d!
  
  M''am

Could've been better without the fourth panel, I feel.
- shift 1,2,3 to 2,3,4 and have 1 as an establishing shot of the nsa hq to make the setup clearer. right now it's like you see the punchline, then an extra panel, then go back to see what was the big deal and realize somewhere in the background it says nsa hq.
  
  Well I did see the "NSA Headquarters" sign but I admit it'd be weird to have that on the wall in the office of the madam who might want to see things!
Come take a look at this cliche - ding
