I think *you've* made some of those contributions with value, and I'd be very
sorry to lose you from the list. What if we all promise to be good?

Uh-oh, I can hear the Voice of the Past, and it sure sounds like Andy Devine.
Yes, "The Howdy Doody Show" has slipped half a century through time and
sideways through space, and a brand-new episode is running live on Klarinet.

Andy says to Froggy, "Now, Froggy, if I let you play my clarinet, will you
promise to be good?"

And Froggy croaks in that perfectly evil little voice of his, "Oh, yessss,
I'll be good, heh-heh, I'll be good, I'll be gooooood! Lemme play your
clarinet. Pleeeeease? Heh-heh."

Andy says doubtfully, "It's a valuable clarinet and it means a lot to me.
I'm afraid you might crack it. Promise me you won't bash it on the floor."

"Oh, yessss, I promise," croaks Froggy, sniggering uncontrollably. "No no
no, I won't bash it on the floor, honest I won't. I promise. Heh-heh.
Nooo, I won't bash your clarinet on the floor. I'd never do that. No no.
That would be wrong. Heh-heh-heh. I'll be gooooooood."

"Last time I trusted you, I was sorry. Remember that? You said you'd be
good, but--"

"Oh, but this time's different," croaks Froggy. "You can trust me this time.
Heh-heh. I'll be soooo nice to your clarinet. I'll be good. Heh. I'll be
very good. Very *very* good."

"Well, all right, Froggy, you can play my clarinet, if you promise to be
good. But remember: *Don't bash it on the floor!*"

"Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh...."

KA-BASH!

"FROGGY!"

But seriously, Walter, we all promise. Really, we do. We promise from the
pits of our hearts. If you stay here, we'll all be goooooood, honest we
will. Heh-heh.

;-)
