This tribe, the Begs were all an inch tall. Tim brought them back to civilization and astounded the scientific world. He was bringing the begs to a formal dinner to present them when his car broke down. Since he wasn't very far from the hotel where the dinner was being held, he decided to walk the remaining distance with the Begs riding on his shoulder. Suddenly it started to rain. To keep the Begs safe he wrapped them up in his cravat and continued on the way. As he stepped into the hotel he tripped on a scatter rug and landed on top of the crabat squashing the Begs into oblivion. Moral: don't put all you Begs in one ascot. Write if you get work and hang by your thumbs. Steve Hawley
