In the region of Gombi, Tanganyika, there lived a primate known through 
Jane Goodall's studies as "Mike." Constantly assaulted by
more alpha-betized males, Mike finally rose to his apology with an
improvisation of percussion played loudly and with much wailing on an 
old gas can. Cowering back in amazement at Mike's sudden aggression, the 
rest of the troop layed low for quite a while. Gradually, Mike was 
accepted as the baddest drummer around, and of course, all the 
accoutrements that go with the gig: food, chicks, friends, and 
introduction into the taoist ways males in the troop performed their sex 
rites. One yang essence-conserving technique was to take their 
copulative pleasure from behind(their missionary position) while 
non-chalantly peeling a banana over her kidneys. As Kristeva has pointed 
out we must go right on waging the war between the sexes. Primate 
studies support the idea that aggression is a well-integrated aspect of 
primate relationships. So, proto-Mikes take heart. There are those who 
have gone before you to establish what will be style, and these are not 
only young, foxy college girls. When you finally have had enough of her 
flaunt "Here it is, come and get it", much like the capitalistic "Jump 
Here" command, just learn to play a musical instrument and join a band. 
Soon you will begin to notice just how ubiquitous "it" really is, and 
see, by debunking the delusion of lack, how many choices there really 
are.
