So bear with me here if for no other reason than the comic value of the notion.
Was talking over most recent experiences with the wife and came across an interesting and (to us at least) extremely amusing take on our role in the "waiting room" experience.
My initial pondering dealt with what they were really doing...
Were they taking samples from me/us?......Were they putting something in me or in some sense preparing me/us for hyperspace.....
Or were they just trying to send us back or get rid of us?
It was on this note that the interesting and rather hilarious visualization came into play.
Imagine in some distance universe/dimension, the native plane of the "Greys" if you will, they started having an influx of wayward dimensional travelers...obviously us....but more and more of us as our population and awareness grows.
Now our perspective is one of them doing things for us...intended for our benefit mostly...
But what if our presence there is more of a nuisance...like sugar ants or some annoying but largely benign sort of infestation. The native inhabitants of this plane being of rather sophisticated technology realize that the best way to rid themselves of the manifestation is to simply remove the excess spice from our planar embodiment, and so that is what they do.
My specific vision of how we *might* appear to them is what had us rolling. This is based on the lack of perception of much more than my head while in the "room". I don't really remember having arms, legs, a body even.
So think something like an ectoplasmic DiMethylSpice's weird baby avatar thingy just sort of plopping into exhistance on say, your kitchen counter for example. As this slimy baby head thing just sort of writhes about your wife...or husband...or mate...or someone runs to get the "syringe" to suck the spice out of it's head so you won't have to look at it anymore....or before your hyperspace boss sees it sitting there and loses his lunch.
Maybe we're just sick in the head but we found the idea of it extremely funny.
EDIT: Ahh dammit...just realized DiMethylSpice has recently changed his avatar....the humor may be lost on some ....use your imagination I guess
