After having visited the place once or twice, a man thought, “Now I know where the place is, and I know which vehicle will take me there, my only question now is, ‘How to get the thing cranked up any time I want to’?”  (Whe-e-e! – what a question!  Remember folks, I don’t write ‘em – I just read ‘em!  Or, for you people on an alternate wave length, I don’t read ‘em – I just write ‘em.  Ah-h-h – what a reminder!)

One man said, “Sometimes I don’t know where I am, but being around others who don’t also helps a lot.”  As the children skipped on one foot, and periodically sank – they sang:

with the suits and ties.”

(But what choice have the innocent?  Screw illusionary choices for a second time.)
