Harry Mudd is one of our new vendors.

Harry Mudd.

If you're considering buying anything -- houseplant, pet, 'innocent decoration', from that man-- consider otherwise. He's a menace and he should be banned from being within twenty meters of livestock and produce let alone handling it-!

If he tells you it's neutered don't believe him, if he tells you it's 'not dangerous' remember that some systems only define 'dangerous' as 'predatory, noxious, or aggressive'. Gimlian moss barnacles aren't dangerous by that definition, and they've destroyed more ships with clogged fuel exhaust ports than I've had field rations.

Harry Mudd-!

[He cuts the feed with a wordless snarl of frustration]

Comments

[what_ho_jeeves]

He seemed like a good egg to me.

[Harry Mudd was friendly. And Bertie mistakes friendly for good.]

[usfuzzies]

Like a sandworm egg, more likely

You didn't buy anything from him, did you?

[what_ho_jeeves]

Alas, no. He was a nice chap, so I wanted to, but he did not have for sale the sort of apparel I was seeking.

But I gave him some money anyway, to help his poor sick mother.

...

[He probably just has to let this pass.]

That was kind of you. I'm sure he's grateful.

[what_ho_jeeves]

It is always a pleasure to give generously to a soul in need. As the Good Book says "He that gives to the poor...something something not lack."

[usfuzzies]

Yes. That.

If you do buy anything from him, let me take a look at it, please.

[what_ho_jeeves]

Right-o, good chap. I am happy to share in my spoils, whatever they may be.

You're a very kind young man, Mister Wooster.
