NOW THAT'S NOTHING! I was at home, when an UFO landed nearby.. A terrible
HUGE alien came out of it, so i promptly shot it with my shotgun, and
made fertilizer out of it.. the UFO zoomed back to the sky _real_ quick!!
In the end, as i, after all, _was_ the hero of the day, I was made the
president of the United States, and i got to marry the princess, too.
