Stop me if you've heard this one...

[bigmacbear]

A long time ago, in a kingdom far, far away, a king was making a journey to a neighboring kingdom to convey a message of great importance to both realms.

But between the two kingdoms there was fixed a great wall, with a gate guarded by two massive, yellow pincers. These automatic fingers would open and close, seemingly at random, and yet whoever tried to pass between them was invariably crushed, no matter how brave the knight or how fast his steed.

Suddenly a page-boy got the bright idea of traversing the gate on foot. He managed to convince the king to give him the message and try it. And lo and behold, the fingers stayed open and the page walked right on through. Some time later he returned with an answer from the neighboring king. And peace was preserved, and all lived happily ever after.

And the moral of the story is...

Let your pages do the walking through the yellow fingers.
