Crime and punishment

[pjthompson]

So I said to my boss this morning: “You’re a pill, you know that? But I mean it with the utmost respect.”

As punishment for my insubordination, he started singing the theme to The Beverly Hillbillies, thus lodging a hateful earworm in my brain. I thought the punishment far too severe for the crime and I told him so.

“Oh? You want me to cure you of that earworm? I can do that.” He then proceeded to sing the theme from Green Acres.

He was right. It dislodged The Beverly Hillbillies, but in this case I think the cure worse than the original affliction.

Later, he asked me, “Do you think anyone’s done a Gilligan’s Island/Lost crossover yet?

“I don’t know,” I told him, “but I ain’t looking.”

But I couldn’t help myself. I did. And they had.

Green Acres was as about as cutting edge as 60s TV got, save Laugh-in. Think about it. Here's a city dude who moves to the country where reality operates by different rules. A sane man in a world gone mad. Surrealism, like Philip K. Dick meets Ma and Pa Kettle. It an odd way, it was ahead of its time. :-)

And Arnold the pig was an exemplar of middle-class angst. I see it all so clearly now...

Right. Your boss is the pill.

That's what I said! He took exception, but I think he went way overboard. ::scrubs::

Here you go. If we keep this up, they should all cancel each other out eventually.

Truly a worthy response. But, this time, I have turned it up a notch. IMO, this is the ultimate earworm song.
