[pct-l] A higher plane

[CMountainDave@aol.com (CMountainDave@aol.com)]

Once upon a time I went on a hike with Obi wan Kenobi, Yoda and the dude from 
Kung Foo. I think his name was "Master." We headed for the dreaded land of 
Ore Gone where, as noted, the skeeters can carry off elk and bears. I 
expressed my dislike for these dispicable creatures and the Master responded 
in this manner: "Grasshopper, you misunderstand as usual. They are seeking 
you out so that you may assist them in finding the path to a higher life 
form. For them, this transfiguration requires one final metamorphous to a 
final form in this lifetime, and that is the "flat form." So you should feel 
honored to assist them in achieving the next level of existence (I believe 
that is pond scum) by swatting the hell out of them and making them flat.
      Then Obi Wan and Yoda put their two cents worth in: "yes, Master, that 
is so true and there is one other favor you render to the skeeters in the 
nano second before they achieve 'flat form' that so few of us ever get to 
experience. They get to feel the force, my son."
     I hiked on, happily swatting away at the bugs with my new found wisdom, 
and gleefully exclaiming "feel the force" every now and then.
