So imagine my surprise when this thing touches down in my back yard this morning.
it goes without saying that any race who have mastered
space travel
and actually bother to visit this rock are after resources.
Things like ore, plants, food (you know, cows, dogs, homeless people...)
So I was quite worried when one of the little buggers came out and made himself at home in my kitchen.
"Have you thought about planet insurance?" it asked.
"You have such a nice planet here, it would be a shame if it had an accident..."
I sat for a moment before I spoke.
"Are you extorting me?"
"No no no, you got me all wrong, I am offering my services..."
I slowly unscrewed the top from the salt shaker as it spoke.
"No, I am offering you protection from some of the more, Unsavory elements out there..." It said as it motioned its fingers in a small circle.
"Really? That sounds great!" I lied and it seemed to perk up as I spoke.
"I have often wondered what would happen if I were to do this." I said.
"Do what?" it asked as I tossed the salt in its face.
Its skin exploded in flames! The alien stood and screamed before it fell motionless to the floor.
Who knew, Slugs AND aliens...
