Curses! Foiled Again!
The
strange alien spacecraft rocked and bucked and spilled the strange alien
captain onto the gray alloy floor. He emitted strange alien expletives as his underlings
hid from his wrath. Yet again, the captain had aimed the death beam at one of
the Earth's rural inhabitants, and yet again the shiny, reflective lining of the
Earthman's traditional headgear aimed it straight back at him. The aliens gave
up. Earth could not be conquered.
The
Earthling waved in triumphant farewell, his baseball cap's aluminum lining
catching the sun's rays, the brightness making the aliens wince. "Curses!"
the captain shouted. "Foiled again!"
