Hmmm. Well, this is gonna be an easy win for you today, Swimming. Unless I’ll get accused once again of impartiality, merely because I’m offering to put you up in a luxury townhouse, pay your tuition, and buy you a car. And all you have to do is find a Little Bo Peep costume that fits. Sheesh! Some people can see impropriety in anything! - Rick ---

Ah - maybe not such an easy win; we do, in fact, have another competitor! Heya, Coldfire. We were just idly talking. That’s all. Nothing to raise any concerns. ---

Maybe a warm-up? A train pulls into the station and stops. Eighteen passengers can be seen waiting on the platform, yet not one of them makes a move to get on the train. How come? ---

Coldfire asks: Is it a cargo train? NO Is it a model train? YES Are the 18 people real and alive? NO Very good! A roll of lemon Lifesavers for Coldfire! A man is dead in his own bathroom, with a puddle of water beneath him. Yet he is completely dry. How come? ---

Coldfire asks: Did he loose bladder control after his death, thus urinating on the floor? NO NightRabbit asks: He must have stood on an ice cube, and when it melted he was hung?? YES Nice going - the rookie gets the next roll of lemon Life Savers! Dr. Pritchard serves himself and Dr. Wu identical drinks. Two hours later, Dr. Wu is dead. Dr. Pritchard is not. How come? ---

Did he MEAN to hang himself? (I’d just like to slap ChiefScott for the previous comment, and forgive him only because his mind would naturally drift that way, what with being stuck on a ship with a bunch of burly men,) * * * A little persistance goes a long way.
