Again, no submissions, but I put one out:

Fyrd Argentus: I have no forum submissions, but perhaps some direct readings?

Fyrd Argentus: I will tell a funny one, just to get started.

Fyrd Argentus: This is about my mother-in-law, sometime in her 80's. She was a spry old bird.

Fyrd Argentus: She was traveling, alone, through an airport, and had some time before her flight was to leave.

Fyrd Argentus: So, she went to a vendor and bought herself a bag of cookies.

Fyrd Argentus: She went to find a seat, and had to sit down beside a big hairy gentleman.

Fyrd Argentus: After awhile she reached over to the bag of cookies between them, and ate one.

Fyrd Argentus: Then, the big guy, staring her right in the eye, reached over and took a cookie too, and ate it.

Fyrd Argentus: She glared at him, twice her size, but he didn't blink. She reached over and took a cookie and, locking gazes with him, ate it slowly. He did the same.

Fyrd Argentus: Eventually the cookies were all gone, and the big guy got up and left.

Fyrd Argentus: She sat there for awhile to catch her breath. What an encounter!

Fyrd Argentus: Then, she looked down on the floor, on the side away from where the big guy had been. And lo and behold.....

Fyrd Argentus: ... there were her cookies.

lashtal: An illusionist?

Fyrd Argentus: No, the bag of cookies between them had been his.

lashtal: Ah, nice one!
