Subject:      INT: The Wongs Visit to Hillbilly Haven Continues

(The story so far:  Ms. B.B. Loi has been dispatched by the HKSAR government
to quell the conspiracy that has caused the wholesale slaughter of HK
chickens, the fall of the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index and the El Nino weather
pattern. To accompany her on her mission, she has chosen her mother, her
husband and his cyber-familiar. Ms. Loi became seperated from her party when
she inadvertantly turned the newly purloined Dalai Lama synchronized
porta-transporter on herself.  She has just been reunited with her family.)

We now join our narrator, one Johnny Magrill, and his report on the fateful
happenings one dark and starry night in Hillbilly Haven:

Well this devil-wife, she come a'cryin' and a' screamin' out from behind the
horse trough. I knowed she was a devil 'cause she was dressed all in red.
An' she had on shiny boots that come all the ways up past her knees. She
runned right up to that haint in a dress with a midget on his back and
grabbed him by both o' his ears.

"Whar you been," she yelled.

"We hadda finish yer Momma's soup a'fore she let us chase after you."

I was really worried now, 'cause I knowed all the trouble a flesh an' blood
mother-in-law can cause. If'n thar was a out of control haint mother-in-law
on the loose, they was no hope for the town or county.
