November 18

We are left with the problem of two Jims and two Toms. They can't all stay--there isn't room on the faculty. Who should go?

Tom & Jim 1 argue that there would be no problem Tom & Jim 2 would leave as they had planned.

``Do what we did,'' says Jim 1 to Jim 2. ``Go back and cut Jim's hair. If we keep this up, everyone will have a home!''

``And Jim will have no hair,'' says Jim 2.

Tom & Jim 2 are afraid that if they leave the will never find a universe they can call their own. They further point out that they were in this universe first; it is their universe. They insist on Tom & Jim 1 taking off immediately. Jim 1 protests to Jim 2, ``How can you treat me this way? I'm your own flesh and blood!''
