I was called into the middle of the forest one night for a person with a housing question. I told him he couldn't place his house because of the grass that was in the way. He broke into a fit and finally siad "That's it, I give up. Goodnight." He dropped the deed on the ground and logged off. Well there were no other calls, so I just stood there thinking he would come back. Well, he finally disappeared, and I just stood there standing on the deed. I was just about to leave when a lumberjack came into the clearing. He just stood there and watched for a while, and then asked me what he had to win the deed. I told him I was a counselor and couldn't give away items, but he never picked up the deed. Feeling sorry for him, I said I would get off the deed (as if me being on or off would hinder his picking it up) if he could answer me three questions (I have just watched that Monty Python movie earlier, I guess it was still in my head). Well, he got two out of three and I stepped off. He stood there a while longer and finally picked it up. I explained to him that he could have picked it up at anytime he wanted. We both laughed and I left.
