Ken Levine, Emmy winner, funny guy, and writer of television programs (from MASH to The Simpsons to Cheers) has posted a dialogue between Smithers and Mr. Burns that sparks off the film and television writers’ strike in the States.

It’s funny, and you should read it.

Make sure to read some of the comments, too, from people who think they know the Simpsons bible and format better than the guy who actually wrote for the show.

Seriously, what kind of tweak has the nerve to give notes to Levine on a blog post?
