A funny thing happened when I went to get my free vaccine, well, some people didn't think it was very funny.
Two days ago, I went to get my free vaccine and what
happened next was interesting and a little painful.
"Hello, my name is James Kafka; I'm here to get my free
vaccine."
"Great! have a seat and roll up your sleeve, Mr.
Kafka."
"Roll up my sleeve? No, no, no. I'm not here to get a
shot. I just want a vial of the vaccine."
"Um, a . . . is this a joke? Sir, I just can't give you
a vial of the vaccine."
"The sign outside says, 'Free Vaccine'."
"Yes, but that doesn't mean we're handing out vials of
the vaccine to the public . . . um, a, why do you want one?"
"I want to see what's in it."
"Are you a scientist, Mr. Kafka, or a doctor?"
"Nope. I'm a retired parental domestic engineer. I
bought a microscope, and I thought it might be a good idea to check out the
vaccine before you put it into my body."
"Hmm, . . . don't move. I'll be right back, Mr.
Kafka."
15 minutes later, four guys in black suits showed up.
They asked me a lot of questions. I attempted to explain
myself, but it was obvious that they didn't believe me. Things got ugly very fast. There was a minor scuffle. Two of the
men will need extensive dental work. They eventually managed to handcuff me
and then tossed me into a black van.
I was taken to an abandoned farm house and questioned for
several hours. Apparently, I'm not allowed to know what's in the vaccine.
