Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near an abandoned petrol station.
They approached one of the gas pumps, and one of the aliens addressed it.
"Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace" said the younger of the two. "Take
us to your leader."
The gas pump (of course) didn't respond. The younger alien looked cross and
the older one spotted this. " I wouldn't push it, if I were you" suggested
the older one. The younger creature ignored the warning and repeated the
greeting. Again there was no response. Annoyed by what he perceived to be
the pump's haughty attitude, he drew his ray gun, and said impatiently,
"Greetings Earthling. We come in peace. Do not ignore us in this way! Take
us to your leader, or I will fire!"
The older alien again warned his comrade, "You don't want to do that. You
really don't want to make him mad!"
"Rubbish" replied the younger alien at his rapidly retreating comrade. He
carefully aimed his weapon at the pump and fired. There was a huge
explosion. A massive fireball roared outwards and towards them and blew the
younger alien off his feet and deposited him in a burnt and crumpled mess
200 yards into the desert. Thirty-five Earth minutes later, when he finally
regained consciousness, re-focused his three eyes and straightened his bent
antenna array, he looked dazedly up at the wiser one, who was standing over
him, slowly shaking his big green head.
"What a ferocious creature", said the young, fried one. "It damn near killed
us! How did you know it was so dangerous?"
The older alien leaned over, placed a friendly feeler onto the crispy,
peeling flesh and shared some knowledge. "If there's one thing I've learned
during my travels through the galaxy." said the healthier one.
"When a guy has a ----- he can wrap around himself twice and then stick it
in his own ear, you don't mess with him."
