I know this is tiresome for both of us But we do have this procedure. It's a legal requirement, And we cannot proceed Without a signature. As part of the protocol, There are certain side effects Which I must necessarily draw your attention to. Your eyeglance, earglance and postural profile Will not be human-normal. Your social life will cease. Additionally, psychologically, Regret is not unheard of. Telepathy? I don't believe we promised that. Are you quite sure you're in the right room? Let's check. Room 40-K? That's us. But, sorry to be a niggle worm, Just to be sure, Just to be on the safe side, Could I see your Surcease Number, please? Thank you. Any questions? Yes, the donuts do have jam in them, as promised. When? Why, as soon as we're done. How many? As many as you want. You're not rationed. Just one more thing, before we do get done: You do understand, of course, That we do not offer refunds. Good. Any final questions? Pardon? Can you say that again? Yes, that's true. You have been correctly informed. There will be no, absolutely no, requirement to pay taxes. Yes, I agree: It's a big happy. Sign here, please. |
