Ensign Zulu: "Sir! Sensors detect impending high-energy flame war
developing in sector CSIP!"
Mr. Spot: "Captain, my analysis indicates that although this flame war
may develop significant output, the manifestations of flame
activity are unlikely to include any new configurations.
Capt. Klirk: "That's very interesting, Mr. Spot, but what did you
just say?"
Mr. Spot: "Merely that the emanations from this particular flame war
are unlikely to be of interest to anyone other than the
most dedicated student of the phenomena."
Dr. Decoy: "What he's trying to say, Jim, is that he won't mind-meld
with it, Zulu won't waste his time shooting at it, and you
can't make love to it. It would be a complete waste of
Red-shirts to investigate it."
Capt. Klirk: "Hmmm... I see what you mean. Very well Ensign,
activate K'orbomite device."
Ensign Zulu: "Aye! Aye! Sir! Pressing 'K' key... Now!"
