Historical Histrionics

A disgusted Ming plans on playing Henry IV to Mitch's Pope Gregory VII. Henry stood in a haircloth shirt outside Castle Canossa in the snow for three days in January 1077 begging the Pope to reverse his excommunication. Ming plans to stand outside Dendreon's Seattle headquarters begging Mitch to communicate anything that would reverse Dendreon's stock price. This is not so easy as it sounds. Not only can't poor Ming find haircloth shirts on sale in the L.L. Bean Catalog but he finds the rental cost of a snow machine to be astronomical. Ming supposes sitting outside HQ in an aluminum beach chair wearing speedos while a confederate cascades him with confetti made from Mitch's Form 4s just doesn't have the same impact. But how else does one get a reaction from the mute Mitch?
