Subject: How to _really_ defeat the Borg (original)
A friend and I were talking about the 'Star Trek:First Contact'
movie a few days ago, and we came up with the following sure-fire
method of how to really defeat the Borg:
Allow them to invade the Jewish quarter of New York City.
Here's a hypothetical conversation between a Borg and a good Jewish
mother.
------------------------------------------------------------
Borg: "You will be assimilated"
Mother: "Assimilate? We have been hearing that for millenia.
Now, come have some Borsch!"
Borg: "Resistance is futile"
Mother: "Don't be so negative! All this talk of futility from someone
so young, it just breaks my heart."
Borg:
Mother: "Ah, my new curtains, what have you done? What's wrong with you?
There's no need to be such a schmuck to someone you've just met!"
Borg:
Mother: "You look so pale. Come, sit down and have some matzoh ball
soup. It'll warm you right up and put some color back in
those cheeks."
