Once upon a time, there was The Guy Who Asked. He was a secret person, never to be seen by anyone, or known to exist. A lonely, Goofy Ahh Goober once said, “Who asked?” To Joe Dacock. Joe Dacock waited for a “I did” but there was nobody.
Later that day, Goofy Ahh Goober went to seek The Guy Who Asked.
15 years later…
Goofy’s family and friends were worried. Goofy Ahh Goober had not been seen in 15.69 years, and was never seen again. The end.

You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
