Carry a watermelon and wear a yellow slicker…

I suppose that it was evil, but I just couldn’t resist - he was so very easy.



Heaven knows why Nathan Muckle decided that I was somehow part of the supreme council of the Illuminati, but somewhere in that strange mind of his, he’d made connections that defy any sane comprehensions, and the rest, as they say, is legendary.

Nathan is the librarian at the Shadowy Government Agency. If you want to know anything - anything at all - I’ll bet you that Nathan has his finger on it. However, it has to be said, Nathan is a nut.

He’s not just a nut in fact, he’s a complete crackpot. He’s several sandwiches short of a picnic, knitting with only one needle, bananas, etc. etc!

So, when I tell you that he’s a big conspiracy theorist, and believes that I’m part of the ruling echelons, along with Alex Trebek and the Queen of England, you’ll see why I wanted to play the odd prank.

Anyway, he asked me for a ride in my spaceship, and I told him to stand on the junction to be picked up, and to carry a melon and wear a yellow slicker. He saw nothing strange in that. He actually showed up. I know; I sneaked out to check.

He actually believed that LiAnn is a bug creature from a race that is going to burst out of a subterranean domain beneath Saskatchewan. I had to watch him to make sure he didn’t suddenly take it into his head to spray her with Raid. He thought that the Director was an alien - a predatory one that would eat him if he wasn’t careful.

I’m not sure he wasn’t right with that one.
