..ARE HACKING, SWEATING, AND TREKKING THROUGH A BARELY-SEE-THROUGHABLE RAINFOREST...
AND COME ACROSS A GIGANTIC STONE TABLET
AND WHILE TOUCHING AND EXAMINING IT LIKE A TRUE ARCHEOLOGIST, HSR MAKES A PORTION OF THE WALL SLIDE OPEN, AND THE TWO ENTER, AND THEY DECIDE TO GO DOWN THIS WAY...
AND THEY FIND A MUSTY-SMELLING CAVE-ROOM..
AND A SORT-OF-MAN-LOOKING CREATURE
COMES IN WITH A LITTLE GIRL WHO IS CUTE, BUT MUDDY AND TATTERED, HOWEVER, SHE INSTINCTIVELY MOVES TO AN AREA OF THE ROOM WHERE SHE CAN OCCASIONALLY GLANCE AT HSR AND SIR RILEY, BUT SHE DOESN'T GIVE THEIR POSITION AWAY, AND SHE SITS DOWN AND PLAYS WITH HER DOLL...
AND THE FATHER GRUNTS AND WALKS AROUND, LIKE HE'S IN SOME KIND OF DILEMMA, AND HE GESTICULATES HIS HANDS AND ARMS, AND IS KICKING UP DUST, AND THIS DUST IS ALMOST MAKING HSR SNEEZE, SO HE TRIES HARD TO COVER HIS NOSE, BUT THE DUST IS JUST TOO MUCH AND...HE SNEEZES...BUT THE LITTLE GIRL, SEEING ALL OF THIS, SNEEZES OUT LOUD AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME, SO THE MAN DOESN'T HEAR HSR'S SNEEZE NOISE, THEN THE GUY, WHO MUST BE THE GIRL'S FATHER, WALKS OVER TO THE SEATED GIRL, AND JUST THEN ANOTHER PERSON OF HIS KIND COMES INTO THE ROOM
THROUGH THE SAME ENTRANCE, AND STARTS TO GRUNT MESSAGES IN
SOME INDECIPHERABLE MONOSYLLABLES, THEN THEY BOTH MAKE SOME HIGH-PITCHED
LAUGHING SOUNDS, AND THE NEW GUY LEAVES, AND THE FATHER WALKS OVER TO THE GIRL
AND SLOWLY TURNS AROUND AND SNIFFS HIS NOSE IN THE AIR AS IF HE HAS PICKED
UP THE SCENT OF RILEY OR HSR OR BOTH, SO HSR COVER RILEY'S MOUTH TIGHT BUT NOT
OVER HIS NOSE, AND HE STARTS TO GET REAL SCARED, AND WHEN HSR'S SCARED, HE
STARTS TO SNEEZE, BUT HE TRIES REAL HARD TO NOT SNEEZE AGAIN, WHICH WOULD GIVE
THEIR POSITION AWAY, AND THE GIRL'S FATHER WALKS OVER TO THE FRONT OF THE
MOUND WHERE THEY ARE HIDING, AND HE SNIFFS THE AIR SOME MORE,
WHILE TURNING HIS HEAD, AND LOOKS AROUND BUT STILL CAN'T SEE THEM, THEN HE
TAKES THE GIRL BY THE HAND AND THEY BOTH START TO LEAVE OUT OF THE ENTRANCE ...WHEW!...AS
THEY GO, THE FATHER'S PROBABLY MUTTERING TO THE CHILD THAT THE DOLL SHE
HAS SMELLS OR STINKS, AND NOW JUST RILEY AND HSR ARE IN THE ROOM, AND THEY WAIT
AROUND FOR A SECOND TO SEE IF ANYONE WILL COME BACK, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKELY
SO FAR,,THEN HSR UNCONTROLLABLY LETS OUT ANOTHER WILD AND SLOPPY SNEEZE,
BUT NOT QUITE THIS NUCLEAR, HOWEVER, IT STILL MAKES HSR ALL DRIPPING WET FROM HIM HOLDING IT BACK FOR A LONG TIME, AND AFTER USING HIS HANDS, SLEEVES, AND ARMS TO CLEAN OFF HIS NOSE AND FACE, HE TELLS RILEY, "HEY, SIR RILEY E. WELLINGTONHALL...LOOKS LIKE WE BARELY ESCAPED BEING DISCOVERED," AND SIR RILEY OPENS HIS MOUTH, AND STARTS BREATHING NORMALLY AGAIN,
TO WHICH HSR SAYS, "SORRY, MAN, I HAD TO HOLD YOUR MOUTH SORTA CLOSED, SO YOU WOULDN'T BARK, BUT IT'S OKAY NOW, AND I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN!" TO WHICH SIR RILEY LETS OUT A LOW-LEVEL GROWL WHICH SEEMS TO SAY, "AND YOU BETTER NOT!," SO THEN THEY CAREFULLY WALK DOWN A TUNNEL
AND AFTER SOME WALKING, THEY HEAR SOME VOICES COMING OUT OF A ROOM OFF TO THE SIDE, AND THEY STAY QUIET AND BARELY TAKE A PEEP IN AND THEY SEE SOME CAVE-LIKE PEOPLE, MAYBE A FAMILY, THAT LOOK LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE THEY JUST MISSED...
BUT THEY DON'T NOTICE HSR AND SIR RILEY, SO THE TWO OF THEM KEEP QUIETLY TIPTOEING DOWN THE CAVE, AND AFTER A COUPLE MORE TWISTS AND TURNS, THEY ARE STARTLED BY SOME UNUSUAL LIGHTS...
ADORNING THE WALLS AND CEILING OF THIS DEEP UNDERGROUND RECESS, AND HSR EXCLAIMS, "SIR RILEY! WHAT ARE THESE SHINY THINGS? MAYBE I SHOULD TOUCH THE LIGHTS AND SEE JUST WHAT THEY ARE!," MAKING SIR RILEY GROWL "NO, DON'T, THEY LOOK DANGEROUS....TRUST ME!" AND HSR PICKS UP ON SIR RILEY'S TREPIDATION AND DOESN'T TOUCH THEM....BUT THEY HEAR SOMEONE COMING DOWN THE TUNNEL...SO THEY BOTH HIDE IN A TALL CRACK IN THE ROCKY WALL...AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON, BECAUSE THEY SEE ANOTHER CAVEMAN-LIKE PERSON
WALK PAST THEM, AND HE TAKES ONE OF THOSE LIGHT THINGEES
AND...okay, okay...man, you sure know how to keep going, and going...and
going!...I'd like to know what happens, but now I need to recollect myself
after this unusually untrue tale of yours, plus, my "we've gotten to the
scientific point to where we can almost write the genomes for compatible
replacement tissues and organs, but will we ever get to know the
exact microbiological conditions which are needed to start the
cascade of the "spark of life" into happening and then becoming
self-sustaining" smile, is anthropologically shocked that cave people and
modern man are now thought to coexist, and yet, one group knows better to keep
its distance from the other!
"It has just been scientifically proven worldwide that the main thing we want out of life...is more of it!"
Look...
I don't blame anybody for feeling this way about the yucky and slimy and stinky stuff on the teeth and under the gums...
...The "Southern Butter!"...
It keeps growing back, though...always hassling us...
But that's life...and if you want to live it...then buckle up your seat belts and ride along!
Dentists and hygienists may get a little desensitized to all of the debris found under rocks and boulders in people's mouth caves...
But sometimes, just to liven things up, I'll scrape off a little plaque or calculus from a place...
...and hold that "Plaqus Yuckus" in front of a patient, and then ask him or her, "Would you like to taste this?"
...and I invariably get the same answer, and even the same expression each and every time!...
... like "Are you kidding?," ...
...or "No way!"
...or even, "How could you offer me such a thing?!"
I even had a patient hightail it out of the office one time...and it was his own plaque!
I think the fact that we don't want to engage in repulsive pursuits, may be psychologically rooted in complex and protective autosurvival mechanisms, so that we can cognitively stay "self-pollution free!"
There was one patient, however, who just straight out warned me, "I don't play that, Doc!"
But she never laughs at any of my jokes, which is okay...but, it's all in jest...to keep loose and not be so uptight!
Hey, I don't want to taste my own "Plaqus Yuckus," either!
May you have many...sweet times in the future may or may not be as sweet, or sweeter than, sweet times experienced in the past...is there something waiting for all of us?...interstellar symphonic music signals--is that what we really should be listening for?...smiles!
