Once when I was in Hawaii, on the island of Kauai, I met a mysterious old stranger. He said he was about to die and wanted to tell someone about the treasure. I said, "Okay, as long as it's not a long story. Some of us have a plane to catch, you know." He started telling his story, about the treasure and his life and all, and I thought: "This story isn't too long." But then, he kept going, and I started thinking, "Uh-oh, this story is getting long." But then the story was over, and I said to myself: "You know, that story wasn't too long after all." I forget what the story was about, but there was a good movie on the plane. It was a little long, though.

i need to get me to hawaii... but i'd stay clear of kauai, since that guy's probably dead by now, and I don't want to chance having to be the one to clean that up...

Who needs Kauai? I have a great old bum/broken heart/buried treasure story from the PSU library. One of the most surreal experiences of my life, really.
