The pin dropped through such an intense silence the ripping in the air itself was audible. What caused the sudden change of pace, was it the question or the answer that was given? Who really understands the purpose anyhow? The pin slammed against the ground but there was no sound, not even a flat ping. The damn thing didn't even bounce back up.

"We traded them in," the man said, awed at first that the stranger didn't know how this universe worked. "They didn't really suit us well, so we wrote our own laws."
"You can do that?" Jack asked shyly.
"Of course we can." The answer was tart and final. A few moment passed and then man offered a bit of psychological help, "We did get it approved through congress first."
"Oh," sighed Jack "that explains it all, then."
"Right." Offered the man, completely oblivious to the sarcasm that filled Jack's words.
Sometimes we just miss the point entirely.

So I'm sitting here getting ready to roll to Wal Mart. Who else hates Wal Mart? THIS GUY! I don't understand why people like it so much. I prefer to shop at Meijer, where the prices are HIGHER...just so I don't have to deal with the whole Wal-Mart-Please-Suck-The-Life-Right-Out-Of-Me environment. Yuck.
I hate Wal Mart....or did I already say that?
