} "Foolish supplicant, you would dare make a request of the

} wait a second. If I zot you, you'll receive what you
} requested, thereby receiving a request without proper
} grovelling, but since you did not grovel, I am supposed
} to zot you. But I can not zot you even though I have
} to zot you. Damn, {Yelling} Zadoc, get in here."

} <<Zadoc shuffles into the room.>>
}
} "Zadoc, this foolish mortal has requested that I zot him."
}
} Zadoc: "Then zot him."
}
} "But he did not grovel."
}
} Zadoc: "Then zot him."
}
} "I can't zot him because if I zot him, I'll be doing what he

} "But I have to zot him, since he didn't grovel."
}
} Zadoc: "Then zot him."
}
} "I can't"
}
} Zadoc: "Then don't"

}
} "What if I zot you?"
}
} Zadoc: "Then you still haven't solved the problem with the
} supplicant"

}
} Zadoc: "OWWWWWW!! What did that solve?"
}
} "I feel better."
}
} Zadoc: "But what are you going to do to the supplicant?"
}
} ********Z O T********
}
} Zadoc: "OWWWWWWW!!! What was that for?"
}
} "It's helping me think."
}
} ********Z O T********
} ********Z O T********
} ********Z O T********
} ********Z O T********
}
} Zadoc: "I'm leaving, I'm tired of you always Zotting me when

} ********Z O T********
}
} "Oh, sorry, that was reflex. I think I'll let the supplicant, oh
} wait! I've got it, Zadoc, you ZOT him!!"
}
} Zadoc: "ME?!?! You don't ever let me touch the ZOT staff."
}
} "If you ZOT him, he won't get what he wants, and he'll get zotted
} as appropriate!"
}
} <<Zadoc walks over to pick up the legendary ZOT staff>>
}
} Zadoc: "This is heavy"
}
} "OK, point it at the screen...no...no...aim at the screen...the

}
} <<Zadoc begins firing at random ZOT's at the oracle's cat, Delphi>>

} ********Z O T********
}
} Zadoc: "Ow. I guess I deserved that."
}
} <<The Oracle hauls off and smacks Zadoc with the staff who falls

} grovelling this time, but don't let it happen again."
}
} You owe the oracle a new, unbent, ZOT staff
