Now this paragraph is not an open call for Kos to put Maryscott O'Connor's
http://MyLeftWing.com on the blogroll, especially since several of the letters for that are missing in the title of this diary. But still, read this fable...
Once there was a super-master of martial arts called Kong. He taught the deadly art of Kong Fu. Kong had almost 60,000 disciples, whom he taught daily in his study program called Daily Kong.
One of his most talented and popular disciples was called Mariska. She was a master of the "Left Wing of the Crane" style of Kong Fu, which allowed her to make devastating blows with her fists (especially the left one) and even to ward off cosmic lightning bolts, which tended to come from the right wing of the universe, mostly from galactic cluster CURso666. These cosmic lightning bolts from the right wing were a danger to the whole world.
But Mariska's Kong Fu fighting, was fast as lightning. (And a little bit frightening)
(More Fu below fold)
Now Mariska, while still visiting Kong's monastery now and then, went off and founded her own martial arts school, naturally specializing in the "Left Wing of the Crane" style. However, Kong COMPLETELY FAILED TO MENTION to his students that Mariska now had her own school, and that they could also go to that one, while still training at his. So much for cooperation between martial artists.
As a result, far fewer people made their way to Mariska's school than there could have been, and not as many martial arts students learned the "Left Wing of the Crane" style as could have happened if Kong had just bothered to mention Mariska's academy, something which would have taken little effort on his part. Thus, there was far less defense against cosmic lightning bolts.
Three weeks later, a big lightning bolt hit the Earth and everyone died!
THE END
