Just Tell Me “No”

I used to have a Sega Game Gear.I bought it from an affluent, young family who begged me to take it away from them before it destroyed their lives. They’d got it for their son, who turned out to be more interested in catching toads and sitting in cardboard boxes. Mummy and daddy then became addicts. This was understandable. It ran possibly the best version of Sonic The Hedgehog ever written. Fortunately a burglar took it away from me after I had completed all the levels, but before I became another victim. It is important from now on that someone is around to slap me whenever I go shopping in a place where this is going to go on sale.

    Tell you what, you stop me from getting this and I’ll punch you if you look at the Nintendo DS. I don’t know what would be more addictive (and more detrimental to my business), purchasing that or becoming a pot head.

    Not wishing to affect your decision, but I’m told the two pursuits fit together extremely well.

    Mmm, Sonic on Game Gear. That takes me back. Best… Sonic… Ever…

    Pot+business or Video Games+business?

    Err, actually meant video games & pot. I suspect your option 1) is mildly better than your option 2), but neither is a good combo.

    Ahhh, yes but that’s anecdotal evidence. Clearly, as a scientist, I should experiment…
