general petraeus assumes the stance in afghanistan: part xxxviii

Leonardo t-shirt guy gunned the accelator and sped down the road 100 yards and Michelangelo pointed a Taser at him from the van windown -- Leonardo was out of the van by now and said:

'can you spell 'don't taze me dude?'' -- of course you can, now you're under arrest -- co-operate and travel as an equal or resist and you'll be kidnapped, bound and removed in the back of the van like so many bags of empty seafood.'

Miller, surprised after yet another failure to work out -- looked up at the guy sitting in the van pointing a taser at him --

'that's Michelangelo,' said the guy standing out of the van staring at Miller with his right arm outstretched and his fingers all pointing out flat --- 'resist and he will taser you.'

'and you're Leonardo,' said the stunned Miller at the man standing nearby him accosting him with the Leonardo t-shirt on.

'that's right, we've come here expressly from the renaissance in the name of art and we're on a mission to bring you to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.'

'why?' said the shell-shocked Miller.

'that's classified sir,' responded Leonardo.

Michelangelo stirred in his seat and was becoming upset -- he had a very short temper sometimes:

'well don't just stand there like a f*cken idiot! get into the f*cken van you d*ckhead!' yelled Michelangelo with great vitriol.

Miller seemed convinced and Leonardo was polite and obliging in ushering Miller into the middle of the big three-seater frontseat of the van via his own driver side door --- there'd be no sense in asking Michelangelo to move now, he'd only get pissed off further....

Michelangelo started playing music -- Afroman -- and lit up a joint.

'Man i don't know what the f*ck we're doing -- driving to Ohio -- that's gonna take days,' Michelangelo said.

'squirm around or make any trouble, throw punches, etc and i'll stun you with my little stun-gun and Michelangelo's got a taser trained on you too, co-operate and you'll be fine,' established Leonardo to Miller as the latter perched himself in the middle of the long front seat.

Leonardo put the van into gear via a manual stick shift located behind the wheel.

And off they sped towards Death Valley and Arizona beyond.......
