THE VOTE

Filberto and The Pirate held a low-level meeting to decide how to infiltrate the house.

"I could gnaw a hole in the foundation," proposed Filberto. "Then we could crawl through the vents."

"Another capital idea!" cried The Pirate. "All in favor, say 'Aye!'"

"Aye!" said Filberto, swigging from The Pirate's bottle.

"Aye!" said The Pirate.

"Eek!" said another voice.

"Eek?' said The Pirate. "What kind of a vote is that?"
