Nicky: “Eric, put the pump in a ziplock bag. Write a date and time on it.”
Eric: “Why?”
Nicky: “Who’s the Dark Side Trainer here? Just do it! You are not yet wise!”
Eric: “Okay. Thank you for your help.”
Nicky: “Did you also buy the other stuff that I told you to buy?”
Eric: “Yes…but I don’t understand what I need paper bags for…”
Nicky: “We’ll get to that when you’re ready.”
Eric: “My pump is doing something stupid that I need to override.”
Nicky: “You’re tougher than this. Don’t open the ziplock! Look at that date and time! Let the pump work for you!!”
Eric: “I’m starting to freak out…”
Nicky: “Now write the date and time on a paper bag.”
Eric: “Okay. Now what?”
Nicky: “Start breathing into the bag. Calm yourself down. And hang it as a reminder of the last time you distrusted me and Automode.”
Eric: “Oh, I see now!”
Nicky: “Welcome to the Dark Side.”

This story is all that AND a bag of chips!

Wait, you forgot the bag of chips.
