More Annotated Entries: Don’t Touch That Strange Thing!
Aw, c’mon, Jimmy, don’t mess with that. (The young man asking this was 12 year old Howie Fernstadt, a fairly cautious and level headed fellow, as 12 year old boys go) It looks really strange and it could be dangerous or somethin’. (A gross understatement.) No, man, look at it! It’s like a statue of some guy with an octopus head and wings and stuff. (I think we all know who it was.)
Man, I knew we shouldn’t have sneaked into this old house. It’s creepy and we might get caught, Jimmy, so let’s go. (The house in question having been abandoned for 50 years, since 1922.) Oh no! Jeez, Jimmy, you just had to touch it, didn’t you? (They both knew Jimmy would end up touching it.)
C’mon, I hear our moms calling us for dinner. Are you ok? You look a little dazed or something. (Fortunately, the mystical energies of the statue had seriously degraded over 50 years, and Jimmy just ended up going a little “strange in the head” for a few weeks. The statue later crumbled to dust and burned the house down.)
