[HOE] Funny Three Ways...

["Ray C." <r_a_c_@hotmail.com>]

Well...  I mentioned J.C. Wales the other day, and forgot another of his 
funny incidents.  The character is a fairly low-powered one made for when 
only his Player shows up, bored, and demands a game.  He isn't too picky on 
stuff, so he doesn't mind if it somewhat sucks, as long as the body count is 
high, the explosions are numerous, and good wins in the end.

I'm trying to cure him of the third bit.  So far, he's beaten me every 
time...  Lucky SOB!!!

Well, anyhow, he and another fellow, by the name of Guido, were 
investigating a Golf Course inside a "Slightly Looted" Gated Community, and 
found it to be operational!!!  Golf carts zipped around, balls were struck 
towards holes, people tended the greens, and a poor SOB was driving around 
in an armoured Golf Cart on the Driving Range collecting balls.

After entering through the functional gates (The person on the other side of 
the intercom stated that it was a Members Only Club.  Using, of all things, 
his RCMP Badge, "Official Police Business, Open Up!!!", he got in.), and 
going into the main building, they find a receptionist, and an arguement 
ensues (She disbelieves that it's been 13 years!!!).  After realizing that 
she let in an Enemy Of The State (They are in the North, as in USA, which 
was at war with Canada), she calls for the Ground's Lawyer.

Now, those of you who know me, or even know Deadlands, can probably guess 
that she's Harrowed, and that she's called upon an "Unholy Host" of sorts, 
and they are now coming to help.

The first Zombie, attacked, of course, the head of J.C., only to be blocked 
by his armoured right arm.  He then declaired (Funny part comes soon, I 
promise!), "I quickdraw my left gun, point it RIGHT at his head!!!  'Jury's 
Out On This Case!!!'".

Now, here is how it's funny three ways:

1.  He was saying this to an undead Lawyer.

2.  His pistol?  An Hellstromme Industries Jury!

3.  The Player is currently pulling Jury Duty, IRL!!!  (He hasn't been 
sequestered yet, so he can socialize, as long as he doesn't talk about the 
trial.).

There, funny part over.  Maybe it was a "You Had To Be There" bit, but what 
the heck, I found it funny!

Ray.

PS:  He ended up killing the Receptionist, restoring the grounds to it's 
dilapitated original, and saving Guido, who had his head beaten in by a 3 
Wood weilding Walking Dead Pro Shop Attendant.  Guido will make a full 
recovery, but will always from now on, dislike Golf!!!
