Author's Note: "Hey Bert, you look different, have you lost weight or something?"
"Uh ... yeah. I've been on the Atkins diet."
"Okay. Hey - are you sure you haven't been turned into a cybernetic dust mite that's programmed to hunt down dust mite eggs and zap them with a tiny electric pulse, thus rendering them infertile?"
"No! Heck no! By the way, how's the wife and kids?"
"Hey, we just laid 5,000 eggs in this guy's sheets! Neat, hey!"
"Cool! Say, would it be okay if I dropped around tonight?"
"Hey, no prob!"
Oh, those wacky dust mites. What crazy shenanigans will they get up to next week?
