Chapter XX
She had decided that its going to be a quiet evening - she had had enough of the loud clubs and crowded bars. Besides, it was about time she dug into that Crianza she had picked up on her trip.
It was not for the want of trying, but Aloysia was having trouble making the big breakthrough. Everytime she thought she had found her ticket to greatness, she soon realised that someone else had been there before. The frustration, the desperation. She sat there, staring at her fishbowl as her tropical fish kissed the glassy insides.
And as if one of them wanted to tell her a secret, she leant towards the bowl...And suddenly, it occured to her. "If there is no problem big enough, I will create one. And then solve it"...Brilliant...Foolproof...
She opened up her journal. "Dear Journal, Today I thought of the plan. The plan to take over the world" she wrote, in a rather unexaggerated manner.
She sat back in her lounger and detailed the plan out.
First, she would create a web page, an anonymous one, and plant it on the Scientific Kraalian site. She would then hire Rufus, the Search Engine Optimisation expert, to nuke cyberspace and make sure she got a high rating. This page was going to be it.
What if it was proved beyond doubt that men were not from Mars and women were indeed not from Venus, but infact that both descended from the same sub-species, say the Rasamopithicus from far off Bendhakaal galaxy? Then, by Amendment 19 of the Constitution of Kraal - all intra-planteray conjugation would be strictly illegal.
And since the male Kraalian sperm had mutated to travel through latex, and the females cannot be on pills because that would prevent them from drinking - there was just one option left : Abstinence.
And this is where she came in.
Three and two seater couches with intermediate arm rests. Bucket seats at the rears of automobiles. Beds with electric partitions. She would patent them all. She would be rich.
There seemed to be only one hole in her argument. Alcohol. Gulp! - V.V.
