I am due to appear in court
next week
Charged
with emotion.
Roger McGough, Vandal
Englishwomen conceal their feelings until
after they are married.
They show them then.
Oscar Wilde, A Woman of no Importance
Upon arrival in Brutland I could read the
big flashing signs:
Warning:
*THIS IS AN EMOTION FREE ZONE!*
VISITORS FROM THE SUNWORLD ARE KINDLY REQUESTED
TO ABANDON ANY EMOTIONAL LEFTOVERS IN THEIR
HOME COUNTRIES AND PROCEED IN AN ORDERLY
FASHION THROUGH PASSPORT CONTROL BY FORMING
A QUEUE SO AS TO AVOID ANY UNNECESSARY FLAGELLATION.
PEDERASTS, DYKES, QUEERS AND OTHER AFFECTIVE
PREFERENCE MINORITIES WHO WILL ABIDE BY
THE NO-EMOTION LAW ARE WELCOME.
SUNWORLDERS CAUGHT EMOTING ALL OVER THE
PLACE WILL BE DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY.
Warning:
* THIS IS AN EMOTION FREE ZONE!*
And as I was staring in utter bewilderment
at the phantasmagoria, with the corner of
my eye, I caught sight of a British Airways
Boeing 747 jumbo jet carrying three huge
lettered ribbons behind it waving in the
wind:
YOU
ARE KINDLY REQUESTED
TO
ABANDON
ALL EMOTION |
