what would Gen Patton do?
I don't know. Isn't he dead? Do we take advice from dead guys?
Luke Skywalker did. Ben Kanobie was dead, but somehow his disembodied voice said, "Use the force, Luke." Now, if that had been me, I'd have said, "Stuff the force, Ben. You used the force and now you're dead. I plan to live. I'm using this targeting computer."
But Luke turned the targeting computer off, and the death star was toast. So maybe I should see if Gen. Patton's disembodied voice will give me some advice.
But until I hear from it, the chocolate will have to be dealt with. And if I head for the hills, it will eventually find me there. It will be bigger and stronger, and it will have a lot more caffeine. Can I let that happen? Will that improve my chances?
In the distance, I hear the rat-a-tat of automatic weapons fire. The National Guard has arrived. But it doesn't sound hopeful. It doesn't sound like lead is going to stop this thing. There has to be another answer. And I don't have long to find it.
