boom. roasted. or something.

I'm sure it happens pretty frequently. It's just that we don't normally see the downtime, because it's not exciting. Same way we never see James Bond having a dull day in his office at SIS HQ (which happen all the time in his line of work, and indeed Fleming referenced it several times in the original books), or the days when a tall, dark dame with a problem doesn't walk into Philip Marlowe's office, or Commander Shepard doing her laundry.

It's a shame we don't get that kind of thing more often in official media. In the color 1960s Dragnet TV series revival, they tried to do an episode that was just about Friday and Gannon's day off. It was--quite unintentionally, I feel sure--the funniest episode of the series. I don't think Jack Webb really understood the concept of a day off, and for sure Joe Friday didn't. :)

"It's okay, Bruce. How can you screw up a tuna fish sandwich?"

"Oh. That's how."
