And then of course, there were the Stirds, a group of monks that wandered around
the world with no goal in mind except to wander on an everlasting pilgrimage.
Now on this particular date, two Stirds went into a restaurant and ordered fish
(Stirds _loved_ fish).  While eating the fish, one of them started choking on
a bone, and managed to dislodge it just as he died.  The bone, of cource, flew
across the table and choked the other Stird likewise.

The chef was accused of 'Killing two Stirds with one bone'.

And now for something completely different:

(In response to the 'Stirds' story)


Some newlyweds honeymooning in Europe heard that the best food and most
hospitable service in the entire region was to be found at a certain
Franciscan monastery, which operated a small restaurant.  The couple went
to the monastery the next afternoon, and ordered Halibut and Frijts (French
Fries).  After having the best meal of their lives, the honeymooners asked
the acolyte who had waited on them to bring the monastery's cook so that they
could personally compliment him.  When the priest arrived, the husband asked,
"Are you the fish frier?"
"No," the father responded, "I'm the chip monk."

Why such a resistance to the topic.  I find quite an attraction to it.

Look, all these jokes have made the circuit before. So why don't we wave
goodbye to this line of thinking, and go to something nu?

     I don't think there are enough Callahanish personas to go
around; you can call me Robin.  But I identify with Jake and
Mary.  (Both of them?  Why not?  Sexual stereotypes be damned!)

     Shortly after _The Blacksmith's Tale_ appeared in _Analog_,
I developed the habit of being naked on the roof in warm rain.
At the time I lived in a house where this could be conveniently
done, as the window of the second-floor living room led to the
roof over the portion of the house that had only one floor.
There was also a large tree nearby, which served to shield me
>from gawkers, as well as being a nice place to stand and let the
rain roll off the leaves onto me.

     Although I never ran into anybody else (it was my *own*
roof!), I do have a story you'll probably find equally amusing.
One evening I went through the window as I'd done often enough
before, but this time I got careless and accidentally allowed the
window to close behind me.  And latch.  Naturally, I was a bit
distressed by this.  What were my options?  I might be able to
reach the ground safely, but the door was locked and my keys were
inside.  Could I break the glass without drawing blood?  If so,
would it be worth the cost of the window?  Should I call for
help?  If so, would I be likely to find my picture in tomorrow's
paper?

     My first action was to do nothing.  I hadn't finished what I
came there to do, and there was no real rush, nothing burning on
the stove; no reason to panic.  Eventually, a police car drove
by.  I hesitated and let it go.

     When I'd been out there an hour or so, I examined the
problem again.  There were two windows, but both were latched.
But the upper half of the window was also movable.  The one in
the living room was stuck fast, but the kitchen window was more
forgiving.  Eventually I was able to get enough of a grip to
slide it down, which allowed me to reach through and release the
latch, and slide both halves up again.  So I nondestructively
managed to break into my own home.

     To low-security.  <crash>

	It was an ordinary night at Callahan's.  Maybe I've chosen a
bad first sentence.  The night is never an "ordinary" night at
Calahan's.  It was however a fairly typical night.  Fast Eddie was
hunched over the piano his hands engaged in a mystifying game of cat
and mouse.  The music growing faster with the tension as each dart was
thrown in a cut throat dart game.  I was watching the game and
enjoying the roaring fire when it happened.

	A figure very calmely walked through the door and up to the
bar.  It's strange, I can usually remember everything about a person's
looks at a glance.  this person was different somehow.  Nothing I
could put my finger on but I'd look away and not have a clue what the
face looked like.  Just a sorta vague impressino of a figure in black.
No features, not ugly or beautiful just so average that no one would
think to look twice.  I may have been the only one to notice.

	The figure produced a single.  Callahan produced a glass of
golden fluid.  Th figure toed the line.  A hush fell.  We all waited
as the figure walked up to the line.  The liquid vanished and a hand
raised to the roof in anger and acusation.

	"To Home!", were the only words.

	The glass flashed out and disintegrated into ruins in the
fireplace.  the figure eyed the room then turned to leave.  I started
to move then realized I couldn't Callahan's large hand was resting on
my shoulder.  In a fatherly voice he said, "Not everyones ready to
talk, yet."  the stranger disapeared out into the night.
