IJMC - Life...is like a box of chocolates.

Here's a little soliloquy by the Cancer Man of the X-Files. Hmm, is that 
right? What is a "soliloquy"? According to the Webster's Vest Pocket 
Dictionary, a soliloquy is a "dramatic monologue". Well, it was dramatic, 
and it was kind of a monologue so I guess that is right. Anyway, many 
thanks to Brian for finding this for me, and yes, I do kinda have 
slip/ppp access. Just barely. <grin>                                -dave






                      Life...is like a box of chocolates. A
                      cheap, thoughless, perfunctoral gift
                      that no one ever asks for.
                      Unreturnable because all you get
                      back is another box of chocolates.
                      So, you're stuck with mostly
                      undefinable whipped mint crap,
                      mindlessly wolfed down when
                      there's nothing else to eat while
                      you're watching the game. Sure,
                      once in a while you get a peanut
                      butter cup or an English toffee but
                      it's gone too fast and the taste is
                      fleeting. In the end, you're left with
                      nothing but broken bits filled with
                      hardened jelly and teeth shattering
                      nuts, which if you are desperate
                      enough to eat leaves nothing but an
                      empty box of useless brown paper
                      wrappers.
