OT, after a long absence, shows up at the gate of egroups.com.
OT: I'm here for the iris talk.
Guard: Do you have a subject tag?
OT: I am a subject tag.
Guard: You are a subject tag? Don't make me laugh.
OT: But I really am! I'm OT.
Guard: O' who?
OT: OT.
Guard: Listen fella, I've heard of O'Connors, O'Gradys, O'Shaughnessys, but never an O'Tee. If you haven't got a subject tag, you can't come in.
OT: But I am a subject tag. Dot my "i", cross my "t" and hope to die!
Guard: Look, fella, you're wasting my time. Show me a subject tag or buzz off.
OT: But you don't understand ---
Guard: Show me a subject tag. I won't ask again.
OT: Isn't that a bit heavy-handed?
Guard: Okay, fella, leave now or I'll give you a swift kick in the asbestos shorts!
OT: Wait a minute! I have friends in there. They'll vouch for me.
Guard: Like who?
OT: Well, there's Starlord, and Irisborer, and Big Alligator, and . . .
Guard: You've got some weird friends.
OT: Really? They seem OK to me.
Guard: Yeah, I'm sure. Look, chum, the only way you're gonna get in here is if you have an okay from the Big Guy.
OT: The Big Guy?
Guard: Yeah, you know, Numero Uno, the guy that call the shots.
OT: Well, um . . . I, ah . . . (OT had been away a long time.)
Guard: I shouldn't do this, but I'll give you a hint. The Big Guy's name begins with "J".
OT: Jehovah!
Guard: Not that big.
OT: Can you give me another hint?
Guard: Naw, I shouldn't have given you that one. If you can't identify yourself, I'll just have to . . .
OT: Oh, identify ! Sure, I can do that. I'm a self !
Guard: A self ? What's that?
OT: It means I'm the same color on the bottom as I am on the top. I'll show you. Here, look!
Guard: That does it, mister -- I'm running you in.
OT wasn't sure what that meant, but it didn't sound good. He took off running along the perimeter until he found a hole under the fence where the deer got in. (They didn't have subject tags either.) With one quick scramble, he was under the fence and in!
