    I was in the operations office, waiting to return a key.  Sarah
Mooers wandered in.  ``How are you?'' she asked.

    ``I'm okay.  Things have eased up a little since last month, so I'm
getting some sleep again.  How are you?''

    Sarah groaned and looked miserable.  ``Not so good.  I broke a
Bochner funnel.''

    ``What's that?''

    ``It's this ceramic funnel with little holes in the botttom.  It's a
filter.  I really needed it, and I don't get another one''

    ``One of those really fine filters?''

    ``No, not really.''

    ``How much does it cost?''

    ``Eighty dollars.''

    ``Hmm.  When I was in freshman chemistry, I broke a condenser tube,
you know, the kind with the water jacket?''

    ``Yeek.  They must have loved you.''

    ``Yeah, I did stuff like that all the time.  I'm really clumsy.  It
really ruined my career as an experimental chemist.''

    ``That why you got out of lab science and into computers?''

    ``Actually I got into mathematics, yeah.''

    ``Ah.''

    ``But it didn't solve the problem.''

    ``What do you mean?''

    ``You know the number 119?''

    ``What about it?''

    ``Prime or composite?''

    ``I don't know.  Prime?''

    ``Used to be.''

low paid peons who blow their work to post and read compulsively despite
lacking any REAL desire to contribute to USENET discussion.

It never ceases to amaze me that some Americans are prepared to strutt
their inferiority complexes around the net.  Nearly all the posts from
America about Britain try to show up the inadequacy and archaism of the
British way of life.  And nearly all of them merely reflect the same
shortcomings in the poster.

It's the same tired, old formula.  Why don't Americans just be happy
in themselves, and not just happy when they're criticizing others?
"Truth, Justice and the American Way"?   No, thanks. "Truth, Justice
and the Individual way".

I sat there, worrying, dripping sweat, wondering what he was
going to do to me, until I could take it no more.

So I asked, "Why did you make that nervous tic?"

Not speaking, he just pushed the cigarette lighter in, although
I knew quite well that Alister had never smoked.
I knew he just wanted to push that lighter into my open eyes.
I had to get out. We were driving through the forest now, and I
thought that if I could get out, I could probably escape into
the trees. I waited till Alister came to a slow sharp left turn
and then took my opportunity.

Flinging open the door, I leaped, preparing for impact by 
curling up in a ball. As I flew out the door, I was safe. But
then I saw sudden movement behind me. Alister was quickly 
wrapping the seat belt around my legs as I nearly escaped. I
hung up on the seat belt and dropped to the quickly moving 
ground below.

My head was banging against the concrete. My back was being 
ripped by the sharp pebbles. The menacing tires moved closer
and closer.

Fortunately, the car was slowing down. Thank God, I thought
When the car was moving about five miles per hour, Alister
suddenly swerved to the right.

Crunch. There goes my backbone.

I barely heard the car door slam as Alister emerged from the
car, grinning, holding the cigarette lighter in hand.

"There goes Andrew.  I'm so proud of him!"  "Hey, son, don't forget to decimate
those Centaurs tonight!"  They both waved cheerily, but in their hearts lurked
a growing feeling of dread -- of what would happen when they arrived at the
courtroom and realized that they really were facing charges of anally 
sodomizing a 12 year old handicapped boy who was going door to door collecting
money for the special olympics. It's pretty tough to get sympathy from a 
jury when you are accused of that.
 
But things started to look brighter when the sun came out.  The light glinted
off the huge crystalline sports arena in the middle of the park, like the glint
of the tears from the eyes of that handicapped boy.  These things were to be
treasured, stored away in a distant jewel box inside the dark caverns of one's
memory, to be pulled out only in special occasions. One of these special
occasions was, of course, a visit to the pawn shop. Andrew stood and basked
in the hatred of the trials 100,000 blod-thirsty spectators, and thought 
of his girlfriend.  She'd gone down to Hammond with that bastard Nigel, and
she'd taken her car with her.  Well, she'd always been a Centaurs fan, even
though she'd known he hated it.  Well, tonight he'd show her.  She'd probably
be watching when he pounded in Gary Connell's head.
 
In fact, she wasn't.  Instead, she was sitting in a gas station two miles
from the stadium, berating the poor mechanic. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN
I GOTTA BUSTED GASKET?!?!"
 
"Now calm down lady...."
 
But instead of calming down she picked up the nearest heavy object, which 
was.....an empty oilcan.  Which actually wasn't nearly as heavy as she had
thought it was.  As a result, she fell entirely off balance and skidded under
the wheels of the truck pulling into the next stall.  As the truck started to
run over her, her spiked hair and studded jacket pierced the front tires,
causing the tires to shriek out in pain, before dying with a shudder.  "HEY!
You stupid bitch, that was my best set of tires, and you killed them with your
stupid hairdo!  Why, i oughtta rip that fuggin' hairdo right offa you
stupid fuggin head"

Of course, as the mechanic was ranting at the lady, his truck was rolling
off down the street. And, unbeknownst to him, his only employee, a 16
year old ex-reform school type he hired out of sympathy, was sleeping
in the cab of the truck.

It wasn't until the truck smashed through the crossbars at the railway crossing
seconds before the passage of the train that she awoke.  When she opened her
eyes, she thought she saw Death in the driver's seat, but it turned out
