SNAKE OIL
By Bill Livingston

"And that's how I ended up here, Captain."

Kirk pinched the bridge of his nose - he could feel exasperation threatening
to burst into a mammoth headache.  "Why is it, Harry, you always seem to turn
up at exactly the wrong place and time, doing exactly the wrong thing?"

Mudd managed to look offended.  "Why Captain, you wound me."

"Don't tempt me.  I ought to just turn you over to Koloth."

"N-n-now, let's not be hasty."

"For heaven's sake, Harry, what made you try selling the Stellas to the
Klingons?! As tribble terminators?!?"

He shrugged.  "Opportunity knocks once, Jimmy me lad."

surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you."
