“So anyway, if you are coming out 

of an Irish pub at 11:30 

and you're on your way home, 

the Púca may suddenly decide 

to descend upon you.

Generally, he grabs you by the collar 

and yells "Got yer erse, mate!", 

and drags you off into a parallel universe, 

just like you hear about in Quantum Physics, 

or a set of parallel universes, 

and you meet all of the great Irish heroes, 

Finn McCoel, Cahaugllen, Niall of the Nine Hostages, 

Patrick Columbus, Brian Confucious... 

Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi... 

Zeus, Apollo, the Devas, 

the Pans, the Satyrs... 

Billions, and billions of years 

of adventures in alternative realities.

And when the Púca gets done playing with you, 

he puts you back on the road.

And it's only one minute after you left the pub, in ordinary time."
