 Author's Notes: I leave it to Shannon to write the actual story behind
this, the challenge part took me way too long. 

 

 "All you need to do is send the letter to seven people by the end of the
day." "Benny, it's not real. It's just one of those annoying things you
throw out. Like junk mail. There's nothing obligating you to read it." 

 "Chain letters are- " 

 "Do you know how annoying you are?" 

 "Even annoying people get mail, Ray. All they're asking for is five
dollars. They promise that you'll -" 

 "Forget it, Benny. I'm not going to do it." 

 "Goats can be very sweet animals, Ray. All they need is the right food
and care." 

 "How the hell would you know?" 

 "It says that the last time it was broken, a lady in Zaire was
assaulted." 

 "Jumped, Benny. Sounds like she went to the wrong part of town without
protection. Maybe Kissasha. . . " 

 "Kissing? Oh, you mean the capital city, Kinshasa." 

 "Look, Fraser, I'm not giving you money to answer a chain letter. Can we
get back to that kissing you were talking about?" 

 "Mmm." 

 

 "No kidding." 

 "On the contrary, Turnbull said that he received the same letter in 1989.
He chose not to answer it." 

 

 "Please Ray? I don't think it's asking too much to give it a try." 

 "Quantum physics would be more fun. You think anyone I know is going to
be happy with me if I send them a chain letter? I didn't think you were
superstitious." 

 "Ray, I'm not superstitious. Superstition is an unreasoning awe or fear
of something unknown, mysterious, or imaginary, especially in connection
with religion. Or a religious belief or practice founded upon fear or
ignorance. I assure you that the term is not applicable to this
situation." 

 "So you think flashing those baby blues at me and quoting from
dictionaries will change my mind?" 

 "That's just silly, Ray. I'm not trying to-" 

 "Unfortunately for you there's one pair of eyes that's even more
powerful. Can you imagine how much hell I would have raining down on my
head from Elaine? No way, Fraser." 

 

 "Volunteering your help earlier might have prevented this, Ray." 

 "Well? How bad is it, Doc? I'm ignoring you by the way." 

 "X-ray checks out fine. It's just a minor sprain. Keep your ankle
elevated for a while and take it easy for a week or two." 

 "You'll be out of here in no time, Ray." 

 "Zaire, you said?"
