Hey, wait, not the belly dancer, anyone but the belly dancer! She wouldn’t do anything like that, would she? WOULD she? I brought her from rags to riches, I nourished her career, I arranged all her schooling and training, I made her who she is today! Maybe the roller derby champion or the seamstress or the nightclub singer, even the bill collector, but not the belly dancer!

Well, I’ll follow your advice, of course I will, consider her gone tonight.
It will require you to begin taking lessons for belly dancing immediately. I’ll make arrangements to have you measured for the outfit by the end of the week.

I thought of that too. You’re flying out here to sunny Southern California where I will be your private chaperone. I’ll make sure you get all the sun you need, and I’ll be right at your side.

Hey, wait . . . maybe that didn’t come out exactly the way I wanted it to!

I’m beginning to see that!

Of course not; that Vegemite stuff is corrosive. Grrrrrrr.
