I have a Friend, Roger, and he told Me that He was in this Club, called the Black Fist of the Night. Apparently this is a club of 15 Guys who dress in Black and use marital arts and Swords and Go and Beat Poeple up for money. They Are NINJAS!!!

I’m Scared, What if my friend is beating people up for money, and has become a NINJA? My friend Keith said his dad was beaten up by some Guys in Black with swords. Was Roger Beating up Keith’s Dad?  
I’m Scared1!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

If we’re lucky, that evil monkey will eat his way out of your head and you won’t have to worry about it anymore.

Shouldn’t it be: AN Evil Monkey Lives in my Head? Well, I suppose if you have an evil monkey living in your head, it really doesn’t matter. 🙂

The monkey made him use the wrong indefinite article. If we’re lucky, though, it’ll be for a very definite period of time.

Yes, your friend is a ninja. No, you can’t save him from the dark side. Yes, you can have guacamole with your salsa.

Any other ques… oh, he’s gone. Shucks.

Well, he’s gone now. So I guess I can’t tell him about _my_ friend’s gang, who all dress in white and use martial arts and swords to defend truth, justice, and the right of people to not be attacked by a gang of ninjas on their way back from the 7-Eleven to get a pint of Phish Food ice cream.

Too bad…

Ninjas make good library card holders, they’re quiet.

Until they flip out and kill everyone in the reference section! One time this ninja was late in returning his copy of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and when the librarian gave him a dirty look he flipped out and killed the whole staff of the adult fiction section!

Now THAT’s Real Ultimate Power!

Enjoy,
