"Oh Cheese it!
"I have been stuck on this back-country road for over 21 years now. I know the great Pubah on Pubahtosis is all seeing, but for gosh sakes, I wish he would explain just exactly what I am supposed to be watching that nosey irksome little girl for.
"I have reported every time she has solved some sort of mystery from finding that red headed run-away, to catching the gun-runners, not to mention those earthbound aliens trying to get that ugly wooden idol from her. You would think for someone who is so good about sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, that she would have stumbled by now to the fact that I am IIMM. To civilians, that would be International and Interstellar Man of Mystery.

"Surely her father the banker, or the millionaire neighbors have enough money sense to question the productivity of this old store. Most people of even average intelligence would question the old cash register and the old balance weight scales. Pubah has to be mistaken about her importance to Pubahtosis’ future.
"But here I sit, putting on a good show of cantankerous gossip so I can keep up with anything and everything that is going on. It is getting really old having to make it look like I am making enough of a living to support myself all the while obeying my orders to keep a good stock of that awful red pop in stock for her.
"Hmmf, maybe she is converting it, by cutting the cheese, into special noxious fumes that will fuel our space fleet so we can conquer this universe."
