Wanting to make his discovery as dramatic as possible, he produced an identical copy of himself. Physically it was perfect in every detail; only trouble was that it wouldn't even give him the time of day, just cursed and swore at him continually. Finally, he got fed up with him and pushed him off a cliff. The DA couldn't figure out whether it was really murder or not, so they booked him for making an obscene clone fall. (Look, it could've been worse - I could have dragged it out for paragraphs and paragraphs. Then you'd REALLY be pissed. Besides, I didn't make it up.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
