Taser!!

Pliny, may I ask a favour?

Certainly.

Will you write my blog today? I feel a little tired.

Tired! That is no......why yes, I will, with the greatest of pleasure.

O thanks, Pliny. What will you blog on?

Let me think... ah yes. I shall blog on the topic of laziness.

No that isn't fair. Think of something else.

Well then, I shall have a look in the newspaper. Here is a story of a most excellent woman. I shall blog about her.

Who is it?

She is Isobel Redmond, the Leader of the State Opposition. This woman has volunteered to have a Taser gun fired at her person, in order to demonstrate that the effects are not harmful. A brave woman indeed. Worthy to be counted as a Roman. Most admirable. Most admirable.

Oh Isobel Redmond. I like her too. But I think that sounds a bit nutty. What do the police think?

They have declined her offer, for some unfathomable reason.

Well, what if she died?

Then she would have still have proved something useful.
