Fiving Philosophising

[Tate]

I thought this up while writing an email to Zeke, and thought I'd share it with you all. It gave me a chuckle or two.

Mohinder: What causes us to five? Are we compelled by destiny? Driven by chance? Or do we choose to five of our own free will? Do we seek fame, or enlightenment? Do we simply want to have fun? Whatever the reasons, the urge to five is rooted deep in the heart of humanity. We all long to reduce, to parody, to make lame in-jokes. One thing is certain; the drive to five is inescapable. We are determined to write fivers, and no power in the ‘verse can stop us.

Mohinder: Wait a minute. ‘‘Verse’? How did that get in there?

Captain Mal: Hey, when you’re on my ship, you play by my rules. Shiny?

Mohinder: What?

Captain Mal: What I’m tryin’ to say is you can take my love and take my land, but you can’t take the five from me.

Mohinder: Huh?

Captain Mal: You can even burn the land and boil the sea, but you can’t take the five from me.

Mohinder: I’m just going to end this before it gets any more confusing.
