🤣🤣🤣❤️ I’ve been wondering how fate or storytelling would conspire to find the nexus of your long-standing acronym with the woke renaming of the fake hoax. Nicely done.

BTW, if “monkey” is racist against certain people, isn’t “pixie” racist against short people? Asking for a friend.

Aw, cheers, mate! I’ve wanted to share this piece of writing for a while and I thought it would be on another ‘stack. Truly tho’, it belongs on Sane F.

Those are good questions! 😬

I love this title, SF. I was just writing something similar in a draft. And what a great parable for holding your assumptions lightly.

What a terrific and fun story! Thanks for the laugh! For the record, I associate MPX with you and not monkey pox. And I, too, am grateful for your airport code.

Thank you, TNK -- that's what I have for you in my 'phone -- so glad I made you laugh! Well, I was first with MPX, and I have decades worth of proof! But yeah, it was funny to see those headlines in 2022 about how dangerous MPX was. My friends kept sending them to me.
