Then they owe me royalties; I'm pretty sure that I copyrighted that sometime in the 70's. (And I mean the 1970's, not my seventies, you assassin. )

I'm too old to hunt. Can you just give me thermal or DNA signatures so I can send smart weapons after them?

Unfortunately, I promised the ex-from-hell that I wouldn't kill anything that wasn't chasing me down an alley, and haven't been hunting since. (Anyhow, the only thing that I ever hunted was gophers, and the only reason that I shot them instead of tin cans is that you don't have to go out and re-set gophers.)

You keep promises to ex's from hell! You deserve a medal I sometimes find it hard to keep promises to good friends

Yeah... well, I never liked killing things anyway. I justified it because the alternatives around here for a gopher are to be poisoned or ripped apart and eaten by a hawk. Now I just don't like the idea at all. (Based upon innocent creatures, of course. If a person was stupid enough to persevere in an attack after repeated warnings... evolution in action.)
