I remember grasping the 'true nature of the universe' some night in a bar called 'the professor' in the late 80's. No, I'm not joking or being sarcastic. I wasn't on any substances besides a mild dose of alcohol.
I just whish I could remember/ relive it rather than the tenuous grip of that moment I still preserve.

This time it was right, it would work, and no-one would have to get nalied to anything. Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone, the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and so the idea was lost forever.
