i cruised slowly down the suburban streets, at a speed i would consider "unusually polite" in light of my normal habits. the opening bass exporations of amon tobin's "golfer vs. boxer" wafted from my stereo.

then, BAM: it hit me. socioeconomic watology. clinical infomatology. the possibilities were simply limitless. this is why you stop and smell the roses.

the roses having been smelled, i downshifted to second and pulled my car into a tight curve, narrowly avoiding the curb, but failing to avoid a "children playing" sign some poor sap had mistakenly left in the street. i laid down a patch in its place and headed towards the interstate. i intended to make it to poland by sundown.

* * *


"Poland?!" the clerk cried. "You can't drive to Poland... you gotta fly there!"

"well," i said, "i'd prefer to drive there, if that's alright with you."

he stared at me incredulously for a moment, and reached his conclusion. i triumphantly waited for my directions to poland.

"GET OUTTA MY GAS STATION!!" he bellowed.

"wat" i muttered, startled.

he leaned foward to smack me, but having muttered the holy word, i was safe. one fell down from the sky and dashed him to the ground, incapacitating him. i grabbed a Chocoloco (tm) bar and headed towards the door.

"payment is in the safe," i said, in case he was still conscious. it wasn't and he wasn't. the safe had dealt him such a buffet on the head that he no-longer was concerned with candy thievery.

it was utterly critical that i reach poland by sundown. at this point there ensued a few hours of trials of the soul so foul and odious i would wish them on no man. but at last, i stood at the door of poland.

i stepped in.

there was a desk, with a clerk at the desk.

"is this poland?" i asked.

"Why, yes, this is stu's house of poles. What sort of pole are you looking for - barber, fire, stripper... other?"

i stared at him blankly.

"how many poles are there in poland?" i demanded.

"Well," he replied, "we have over 30,000 poles in stock."

"and what is your favorite pole?" i queried.

"Well..." he began, pausing to think, "I'd have to say catalogue number 34-E10, the platinum ridged dancing pole... some fond memories, you know."

i nodded, understanding. then i turned around and left. this was obviously a false poland, designed to mislead me. an ersatz poland existant merely to trick me into following the wrong path - the path of platinum ridged dancing poles.

i would get revenge someday on this foul and godless establishment, someday. for now, however, i needed to find poland.

say, do you know where poland is?
