A plague is raging in the town A rat scampers into the room. People are harried --- A RAT!
Rurpy: Rats are living beings dont you know?! Never kill a living being! Its not humanitarian, er rattatitarian. (200 more posts on humanitarianism, veganism, rattatitarianism etc) Alex: Hear Hear! But first lets rename our august assembly as rat support assembly Steven: I know how to solve this problem. Quarantining a rat for a month cures plague. Now I dont know how to do that... so I am quarantining myself. Somebody begins to protest: Steven: You dare protest?! I quarantine you... er myself. Joel: Go away Rat. Go far away. You are not a good person. You are not even a good rat. You are just rat the brat. You should take up something you can do better than this.. like maybe sleeping Chris1 (saunters into the room in shorts carrying a hockey stick): Here folks I am going to solve the problem once and for all. [Swish -- after flying across the room the rat lies still on its back] Everyone: Bravo Chris! [After a while the rat is scampering more energetically than ever before] Everyone: Aww Chris! Why did you not hit it harder?!?! Chris1: [Yawn] Im bored. Bye... Chris2: I have a solution. Here's a rat-trap. Can someone please buy me some bait? Mark: Hey rat! Ive a game for you. Willing to play? [Rat picks up its ears] Mark: Its called suicide-game. I pretend to commit suicide. You actually commit suicide. Do you like my game? [Rat ignores Mark and keeps scampering about] Antoon: Since we dont have a cure for plague (this is a couple of centuries before tetracycline) lets rename plague to troll... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
