"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

Snagged it! Thanx!

***Ed:** You see a well-groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you see a gazebo.*

Eric: A gazebo? What color is it?

Ed: (Pause) It's white, Eric.

Eric: How far away is it?

Ed: About 50 yards.

Eric: How big is it?

Ed: (Pause) It's about 30 feet across, 15 feet high, with a pointed top.

Eric: (rolls dice) I use my sword to detect whether it's good.

Ed: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo!

Eric: (Unusually long pause, even for Eric) I call out to it.

Ed: It won't answer. It's a gazebo!

Eric: (Pause) I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it respond in any way?

Ed: No, Eric. It's a gazebo!

Eric: I shoot it with my bow (rolls to hit). What happened?

Ed: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.

Eric: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded?

Ed: Of course not, Eric! It's a gazebo!

Eric: (Whimper) But that was a plus-three arrow!

Ed: It's a gazebo, Eric, a gazebo! If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it with an axe, I suppose, or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try. It's a @#%!$& gazebo!*

(author's note: Ed was in the army, and no, he did not say @#%!$&. The letter count has not been changed for the linguistically curious. Clue: it was a gerund.)*

Eric: (Long pause - he has no axe or fire spells) I run away.

Ed: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo, and it catches you and eats you.

*Eric: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a fire-using mage so I can avenge my paladin...

Ed wanted us to think it was a gazebo.

>From out of nowhere, a slavering grue exits the gazebo

hit grue with sord
>I don't have a sord!
>The grue hits you with an axe
hit grue with sword
>the grue laughs as he splits you in Two...YOU HAVE DIED
>outside the House. There is a house here. To the north are woods, in the east you hear a distant rumbling. There is a mailbox here...;)

of course, the usual use for a Gazebo is the Trapp family daughter singing "I am 16 going on 17...":)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
