We are
pleased to present a very interesting communication from CAE PITHAROULIS,
Athens, Greece:
People
are Valuable
The
Haves were having trouble with the Have-Nots. Really big trouble this
time; the Really Big Haves were sore at the really down-and-out Have-Nots
over really big dough. So they called the Dogs of War.
Since this was a really
important case, the Biggest Dog of War himself came. He listened, returned
to his domain, called the Really Big Dog Enforcer and told him:
"There's some piss-poor Have-Nots down in the lower hemisphere. Owe
forty billion dollars. Want to squelch. Go collect.
The Really Big Dog Enforcer
went, returned empty-handed. He approached the Really Big Dog of War, his
tail between his legs.
"They have nothing to
give!"
"Who said, ‘give’?
Take!”
"They have nothing to
take."
The Really Big Dog of War
barked, "Take their houses - take their carts. Take their
donkeys."
"We took those last
time."
"Take their water from
their wells and cisterns."
"Undrinkable. Too
dirty even to wash with."
Now the Really Big Dog of
War was screaming. "Take the air they breathe,
doggone it!"
"It's the most
polluted in the world. Won't do for our dog noses. I tell you. They have
nothing. They are worth nothing. Let me enforce. Kill them all. Let them
rot in the sun."
The Really Big Dog of War
looked at his minion in disdain. "Dummox. You'll never go higher than
Enforcer. Use your head, Dog. Have they not organs for transplants for the
Really Big Haves? Have they not flesh and bone we can chop into pet food
for the Really Great? Won't there be leftovers to be ground into chicken
feed for the Greats? "Kill them and let them rot in the sun. You dumb
hound, PEOPLE ARE VALUABLE!"
