Junior Terrorist

I remem­ber being six or sev­en years old when tele­vi­sion was explained to me. It was around that time that I asked my dad about lasers. I was astound­ed to learn that the zap guns that blew up aliens in the movies were just very pow­er­ful bursts of light, all going in exact­ly the same direc­tion. It was then that I hatched my sin­is­ter plan to kill every­one in the Unit­ed States. One would have only to infil­trate the TV stu­dio of one of the most pop­u­lar shows dur­ing the broad­cast, and then take a real­ly pow­er­ful laser and point it direct­ly into the tele­vi­sion cam­era. Thank­ful­ly some­where along the line I was turned to the side of good and my plan nev­er hatched.
