Infiltrator's account of Scientology Celebrity Center

Harmon Leon is a guy who specialises in infiltrating odd places through impersonation, then writing hilarious accounts of his deeds. His infiltration of the Church of Scientology's LA Celebrity Center is a classic:

[W]e go to a fancy, roped-off office on the first floor. There's a large desk, a book shelf, and a lot of pictures of boats on the wall.

"And this is L. Ron Hubbard's office."

"The actual office used by L. Ron Hubbard?" This is like being in Jesus' room.

"No. Each Scientology center has an office for L. Ron Hubbard, decorated in a way he would like it."

"Oh, so the office was used when he was visiting, ya?"

"No. He died before this hotel was refurbished."

Someone should mention to this lady that dead guys don't need offices. Especially an office built for a dead guy after the dead guy is dead.
