Moral of the story

[qbspy]

I had just completed a job for Thulun, a sweet sell of Artifacts at the Javat Mining Camp. I dug them up from a stash in some two name backwater. It had been close. Flew a quarter of the quadrant to get there. Thought I'd run out of time or water-fuel. Realizing I forgot to get a damn trade permit, I did some last minute surveillance, and sold Javat what I had for the right to trade the Artifacts.
I really hit the big time, ply the trade a few more AU, and I would be untouchable. Got us a fancy gun upgrade, thought of so many more, then the vudka. It was a party. Took a trip to the next planet grievously low on everything but water fuel. I had a good idea what I would do to take advantage of all these new credits. Then everything came to an end.
An alien. My last day as captain, I've got two weapons, I'm commencing a landing action, and there they are. There was no escape. They boarded my vessel, they defeated my crew, and now I'm dying too. Damn aliens. At least no one will ever know I was a Rychart Spy.

Aliens are dangerous qbspy

Never spy with just a hat for a disguise? /Rychart joke

Ewww they don't look tasty.
 Then again, no mushrooms look tasty 
  Especially when you look really really closely at them
 And decide that those rubbery looking bits
Are what you are meant to be chewing on

I had something planned out for this, but I don't recall. Suffice it to say that empty space is wasted space.

AAAH. The Moral of the Story.

Let me tell you a quick story I learned from a Russian neighbor.


Deep in a Siberian winter, a farmer was making his way home. Along the way, the farmer found a small bird, half frozen from the cold. He picked up the bird and kept going.

Along the way he comes up to the biggest, stinkiest, yet warmest, pile of cow shit he's ever seen. Surprised, he drops the bird into it. The cold subsequently drives the farmer off.

The bird, feeling warm, feels more active than it has been for hours. It is so happy to be warm that it starts to sing!

A hungry wolf, passing by, is surprised to hear a meal chirping so happily. It comes up, eats the bird and moves on.


This story has the benefit of -3- morals.

1. It is not always your enemies who get you into shit.
2. It is not always your friends who get you out of shit.
3. If you're neck deep in shit. Shut the **** up!
