They were out of work because there wasn't a body of water nearby. Then, one day, a pond appeared in the middle of a tree in the center of the town. But the only fish in the pond were poisonous. So the fishermen had work, but they also had many lawsuits (they were poisoning the people with the fish.). They all were exiled from the small town and asked to pay 35 cents in damages. They had barely enough to cover this as fish are very cheap. They all contributed what they could which left them only the clothes on their backs. As you can see, the fishermen are a collective, but they do not try to assimilate others into it. Five years later, while watching Star Trek: The Next Generation they thought that assimilating would be fun, so they tried it. Pretty soon, everyone in the known universe were fishermen. They were all out of work, too. The moral of this story is: Don't sue fishermen. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +-+-+=+=+l+u+k+e+w+a+r+m+=+=+-+-+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +mailing-list/feedback/submissions: lukewarm@bbs.bplanet.com+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + ftp.etext.org/pub/Zines/Luke+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +why do you bother to make yourself smell good? + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +copyright? what copyright?
