Mars Day 29: A Bridge too Far

Ablo, how hard would it be to create a little traffic jam?

“How little?”

Oh, say jam up the highway system of an important bridge in a major city during rush-hour.

“Why would you want to do that sir?”

To make my rival look bad. It’s her bridge.

“So you want to make a bunch of our fellow Martians miserable for political ends?”

No, of course not.

“So you weren’t serious?”

Yes I was serious, but no, of course not.

“Huh?”

I don’t even want to know its happening.

“But you just said—“

What did I say?

“Jam up the highway system of an important bridge in a major city during rush-our traffic to make our opponent look bad.”

Why Ablo, that’s a brilliant idea! But I don’t know what you’re talking about.

“So do it then?”



Do what?
