Once upon a time there was a man whose job was to delineate things. He started off well, but then he started to use vernacular to describe things instead of words people could actually understand. The fact that people could not understand him hindered his progress. His boss told him that he needed to enhance his vocabulary and efface the slang he was using. Hearing this made him angry and he became querulous. His boss told him that he should take a hiatus and come back when he was in a better mood. The next day he boarded a plane to Mexico and stayed at a wonderful resort with a copious of food and an obscure gym. Since the man was a glutton he decided to go to the gym to see if he could lose a bit of weight. When he walked into the gym the personal trainer, who was an artisan, asked him why he had decided to come. He replied saying that he had heard people touting about the brawn they had. She then extolled him for his healthy decision and they began immediately. They tried and tried to find a machine that he would fit on but he was just to fat. He was very angry. The trainer tried to quell him but he was pugnacious, maybe even nefarious. He left the next day and decided to go back to work. He then found his boss, hit him in the head, kindled a match, lit the building on fire, and watched as the building was obliterated. The end.
