Ensign Zulu: "Sir!  Sensors detect impending high-energy flame war
             developing in sector CSIP!"

Mr. Spot: "Captain, my analysis indicates that although this flame war
          may develop significant output, the manifestations of flame 
          activity are unlikely to include any new configurations.

Capt. Klirk: "That's very interesting, Mr. Spot, but what did you
             just say?"

Mr. Spot: "Merely that the emanations from this particular flame war
          are unlikely to be of interest to anyone other than the
          most dedicated student of the phenomena."

Dr. Decoy: "What he's trying to say, Jim, is that he won't mind-meld
           with it, Zulu won't waste his time shooting at it, and you
           can't make love to it.  It would be a complete waste of
           Red-shirts to investigate it."

Capt. Klirk: "Hmmm...  I see what you mean.  Very well Ensign,
             activate K'orbomite device."

Ensign Zulu: "Aye! Aye! Sir!  Pressing 'K' key... Now!"
