67 . KRULIK, GERALD, Ask Jerry: Conundrums Clarified for the Courteous Chlorophyllophile
(Gardener) Part 12,
CRAZY ANNIE PART FIVE OF FIVE, PUP TALK (Saddleback Valley Bromeliad
Society), 16(11), p. 6, November, 2009.

Dear Jerry,

It’s me again, Annie the Cross-Pollinating Cloner. I vow that I will recover from my latest set-back.
The world needs new fruit crops. I swear that the world will never go hungry again.

Yes, the publicity was pretty unfavorable and my plants have been banned in all civilized
countries. You can still get them in the Netherlands and from the local high school students who
ravaged my yard, but I fear these particular clones and hybrids will not be part of the drive to end
world hunger, though they did suppress the appetite.

I swear that I did not know that my next door neighbor was raising those medicinal marijuana
plants in among his backyard weeds, alongside the opium poppies and among the Datura (Jimson
Weed) and Peyote cactus, behind the high fence. I did not know why there were so many
hummingbirds, and why they were flying so erratically. They must have been the source of the
cannabis and other genes that somehow got into every single one of my hybrids. My Dummies!
Class did not mention that the more genes you insert, the leakier the genome got, and the easier
to insert even more genes. And just my luck, the genes were not expressed until the fruit was
ripe. And I was so excited by their exotic tastes that I did not notice how fast time went by, I was
SOOO happy all the time, especially after meals.

Everyone is laughing at me now!

Signed
Crest-Fallen Annie

Dear Drug-Crazed Annie,

Ahem. Did I predict that you would run into trouble with your programs, or not?
I did suggest that you develop a contingency plan to deal with any possible emergencies.

Oh, and rest assured, I properly disposed of the duplicate clones you sent me for safekeeping.
Don’t give any credence to the rumors of a new fruititarian drug culture among the remote
elevated tepuis of Venezuela. Anytime you want to discuss any future projects, just call me and I
will fly up on my Lear Jet.

Losing weight is very easy now
Happiest Jerry
