don't know, but it sounds good. Please pass it on when you find out. " When you see a difference in a person and can find only wickedness in it - you and them - the 'them' become fair game, not people anymore but obstacles to the greater good, and it's always open sweason on 'them'"

A man gets a letter telling him that a vampire will call on him on a particular evening, so kindly remove all mirrors, crucifixes, etc. The man thinks it’s a great gag. It’s not, of course—a real vampire shows up and prepares to chomp down. The man desperately holds up a cross, but the vamp just shrugs it off, saying, “You really don’t get it, do you?” Then the man pulls out his wallet and offers up all his money. The vamp shrieks and departs at the sight of what is truly sacred to his victim.
