Cheap Coyote Tricks      by Greg Keeler         Page 44               

 
Wasted Life, Useful Life

Dog and Coyote went to
obedience school. Dog got
straight A's and graduated
with top honors. Coyote
flunked out. Years later,
they both applied for the
same job as subjects for
animal experimentation.
Coyote, of course, lost out
to dog and wound up wasting
his life on welfare. Dog wound
up leading a useful life with
electrodes in his brain and
a TV camera stuck up his butt. 

  
Weather Chat Apocalypse

"Hot enough for you?"
said Beaver to Coyote
as they passed each other
on the trail. "Looks like
it might rain, though,"
said Coyote. "I hope
it doesn't," said Beaver.
"I don't mind the heat
as long as it's a dry heat."
Perched in a tree above
them, Trilax, the Uranian
space probe, was programming
this information into its
circuitry. Because Beaver
resembled the protogalactoids
who designed Trilax, the droid decided
to destroy the planet if it rained.
