As long as the analogies are going I thought I'd continue the story with more of my own....
<even further in history> Things continue for a while. Mike is happy, Apache is happy. All is well. Mike continues his life long passion of being a master carpenter and Apache helps raise the family. What could be better? ...Then one day Mike comes into his workshop and finds that someone has taken it upon themselves to add two more clamps to his existing two clamps on the piece he is currently working on. That's odd...What the hell? Mike confronts Apache. "Oh that, yes we've all decided that from now on you'll need to use exactly twice the number of clamps you normally do. You see - Codehauses husband Bob had a little accident the other day. Nothing fatal but no one wants to take any chances...I'm sure you understand. " Mike protested, thought that maybe it was bad that Bob had such a scare but why did that have to affect him? It was of no use. Apache had made up her mind and that was final.. Mike went back to his shop and tried this for a few days....But eventually he just couldn't do it anymore. He pleaded with Apache again but still she refused. Said that a decision had been made for the good of all and he'd just have to accept it or move out. Eventually Mike did move out. You see, Apache had the unfortunate luck to marry someone with aspbergers. If you don't know what that means a very easy reference would be the beloved Mr. Spock. Quite funny I know, but if you actually are Spock there's nothing funny about it. Just like there was nothing funny about Mike placing extra clamps on his equipment when he knew there was absolutely no point in doing it other than pleasing his beloved Apache and her insufferable friends. No ...you might as well ask a dog to stop sniffing other dogs asses, a computer to stop computing ..He had no choice. It wasn't something he could live with no matter how much he loved Apache. ..... </even further in history> On 3/20/07, Henri Yandell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: <snipped>
<future history> Apache gets married, finds a little house in the suburbs and raises little apachlets. But that's another story. </future history> So not losing values - these are Jakarta values that we relinquished 5 years ago. On the "OTOH"... I've not got the patience for such convincing atm :) Hen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
