further proof that I am, indeed, a total dork

[chicafrom3]

A lesson on taking things out of Context, from the Everpresent Wordsnatcher.

"We're looking for a place to spend the night."

"It's not yours to spend."

"That doesn't make any sense, you see—"

"Dollars or cents, it's still not yours to spend."

"But I didn't mean—"

"Of course you're mean. Anyone who'd spend a night that doesn't belong to him is very mean."

"Well, I thought that by—"

"That's a different story. If you want to buy, I'm sure I can arrange to sell, but with what you're doing you'll probably end up in a cell anyway."

"That doesn't seem right."

"Agreed, but neither is it left, although if I were you I would have left a long time ago."

"Let me try once more. In other words—"

"You mean you have other words? Well, by all means, use them. You're certainly not doing very well with the ones you have now."

"Must you always interrupt like that?"

"Naturally; it's my job. I take the words right out of your mouth. Haven't we met before? I'm the Everpresent Wordsnatcher, and I'm sure I know your friend the bug."

"Is everyone who lives in Ignorance like you?"

"Much worse. But I don't live here. I'm from a place very far away called Context."

"Don't you think you should be getting back?"

"What a horrible thought. It's such an unpleasant place that I spend almost all my time out of it."

ten points to whoever knows what that's from! :D
