I am trying as hard as I can, to destroy

I am trying as hard as I can, to destroy the old man's house but to no avail.

His glasshouse was stone-proof, waterproof, and futureproof. Try as I might, I could not get in. I could not destroy the old man's house.

So I went into the past and shot to death the contractor who was to build the old man's house. I taunted the old man across an infinity of parallel universes. He kept building hou

dini's escape hatches into his houses letting him slip into other universes where I'd failed to stop him. I disguised myself as a plumber & attached his pipes to a black hole

Luckily he believed my phony story about being a plumber, and I was free to disconnect his alternate universe portals.

And so I set forth, picking a yellow portal which seemed to be slowly grow ever so slightly. I would personally loved this place, if not for the fact that It lived here.

held myself in much higher esteem. I never needed to distract the 7-11 counter person while cramming pastries down my pants, I thought smugly as It ambushed me & stole my pastries!

The 7-11 manager accosted us:"We've been alerted about you. Need you two to pull down your pants." The joke was on the droid, I thought, unaware It had resnuck the pastries into MY

pockets. But I wouldn't give up. "These are cargo shorts, thus I can't pull down my pants." I left the droid in stunned silence and went on my merry way.
