I was walking in the woods when a grizzly bear attacked me from out of nowhere. I used my Bruce Lee training as second nature by karate chopping the bear in the shin. He died within seconds.
   I heard a woman approach of heavy build. She was a Pygmy yet unusually tall. I pulled my gun. She took no notice and sallied forth. I didn't fire a warning shot. I let her pass as I figured her business was strictly Pygmy, 100% divorced from my non-Pygmy concerns. Boy, was I ever wrong. Three weeks later my paternity test came back: I was 74% Pygmy on my mother's side & 38½ on my father's. I was 112½% pure Pygmy – no denying that!
   We are presumed innocent until proven (beyond a reasonable doubt) guilty. Public opinion (what people think) is not bound by this stricture. Cancer isn't inspirational. It's a metabolic disease.
