July 2000 -1
Journal of Dana Scully
Saturday, July 1, 2000

Today I decided to go browsing through a children's book store so I can read to Little Mallomar in-utero. I bought a set of Children's Favorites by Dr. Seuss. It's a good thing my car has power windows, though, because I was sick the whole ride to the mall and the whole ride back.
When I finally got back home, my mother was there waiting for me. She had a bottle of ginger ale and some saltine crackers. Rather than giving me the lecture I know is still coming, she had me lie down on the couch while she read to me. And darn it all, wouldn't you know the first book she picks up is "Green Eggs and Ham?" NOT a good story to read to a nauseous person. This is all I remember of it:
"Would you vomit here or there?
I would not vomit here or there.
I would not vomit anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Would you upchuck in a house?
Would you upchuck with a mouse?

I do not upchuck in a house.
I do not upchuck with a mouse.
I do not vomit here or there.
I do not vomit anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Would you throw up in a box?
Would you throw up with a fox?

:::THUD:::::

After that fainting spell, Mom thought she had better try a
different book. The next one wasn't much better. "Fox [thud] in Socks."
The publisher even prints a disclaimer on the front page that says, "Take it
s-l-o-w-l-y. This book is dangerous." Tell me about it. I was okay until she came
to this part:

"Socks on chicks and chicks on Fox."

Not only did I faint, but I had horrible visions of The Fowley
Woman. Good thing she's dead. I think. Mom continued to read, despite my
protests.

"Please, sir. I don't like this trick sir. My tongue isn't quick
or slick, sir."

:::thud:::

At least Mom had the foresight to place a pillow on the floor that
time. But she continued to read in that persistant mother way. If I didn't
know better, I'd swear she was doing this to teach me a lesson.

"Mr. Fox! I hate this game, sir. This game makes my tongue quite
lame, sir."

:::thuff:::: (That's the sound someone makes when they "thud" into
a soft pillow.)

"No sir. My poor mouth is much too slow, sir. Well then...bring
your mouth this way.

:::thuff:::::

"I can't blab such blibber blubber! My tongue isn't made of rubber."

::thuff:::

And so it continued. Who knew the works of Dr. Seuss could carry
such hidden meanings?

I waited anxiously for Mom's lecture, but I was saved by the ring
of my cell phone. It was the wrong number -- someone looking for a "Greta,"
but I pretended it was Walter Skinner and Mom blushed before whispering,
"I'll call you later. Don't forget about the Scully Family 4th of July
Picnic."

What a day. I know it's too early, really, but I swear I felt the
little Mallomar kick when it heard the word "Fox."

Morley Tobacco Inc
Message to all employees

Due to the fact that sales have plummeted dramatically since May, Morley Tobacco Inc regrets to announce a necessary large decrease in the production of cigarettes. This will necessitate cuts to staffing. As Morley TobaccoInc values all of its employees equally and does not wish to be seen to show favoritism to any one person at the expense of another, the following duty roster has been devised.

1. Factory will cease to operate all year round and will only go into production from August to September.

2. No employees will be laid off. Employees with surnames beginning with A-F will work on Mondays, G-K on Tuesdays, L-P on Wednesdays, Q-U on Thursday and V-Z on Fridays. Part time and causal staff may also work for an hour on Fridays provided they are able to produce evidence that they have persuaded /coerced a friend/family member or any other member of the community, human or otherwise, into purchasing a carton of Morleys for that week.

3. Smoko time will be increased but employees will only be paid for the actual time spent engaged in production of product, not utilizing it (although this is to be encouraged).

4. . Employees will also be permitted to utilize said product whilst engaged in their duties but free samples will no longer be issued.

5. Tax free bonuses will be offered to employees who can provide proof of conversion of any adult persons to Morley's products. Smaller bouses may be offered for the conversion of minors at the discretion of the management.

Morleys deeply regrets any inconvenience to its loyal employees, a few of whom have been with us close to the record of two and a half years, but hopes the above arrangements will meet with approval.

Sincerely,
I. Vonely-Onelung
Managing Director
