Do you know? I was out for a walk the other night when this flying saucer came down and these little green men whisked me away to a planet somewhere, Venus, Jupiter, I dunno; they wouldn’t tell me. This made me angry, so I said if they didn’t take me home immediately strange things would happen. Then, while they weren’t looking, I slowly lowered a potato, which being from Lincolnshire I just happened to have in my pocket, on a thread past their porthole. They got the impression that one of their two moons, Phobia I think they called it, was about to crash down upon them in only about 50 million years Earth time, which apparently is only about half an hour for them. Thoroughly startled, they took off immediately and brought me home. I think that’s what happened. I’d only just taken my evening medication. DaveP
