yes, we can

as the two 18th century composers from the era of Napoleon, stood on the hillside in Cambodia, some two hundred years after their time, thinking about shooting RPGs at cow after cow, their lowing sounds bleating moo and bloody death, their eyeballs flying through the air, cows shuffling and lowing to move away, futilely, as each RPG found its mark.... ribs and rumps and blobs of gellitaneous, fatty cow occasionally landed near the two composers, finally Mozart, in a pause between RPG firings, broke the silence:

'i've started writing an opera...'

'what's it about?' asked Beethoven...

'i call it 'yes we can', it's partially set in a coca-cola factory, but i also have scenes in a mental hospital and a police forensics department... and a courthouse... it's about a crazed lunatic killer who drinks too much coca-cola zero... the chemicals in the drink that trick his brain into sensing sweet flavor, end up messing it up and causing him to become a serial killer/stalker/obsessive type... later he goes to a hospital and has a court-case... his defense lawyers argue coca-cola is to blame and counter-sues them...'

'wow' said Beethoven

'yeah wow,' responded Mozart
