Prompts = Nature, Mercury, Bar

‘Hey. Buddy. Ya’ver wonder stuff?’

‘Wha’da’ya mean “wonder stuff”? Like that TV show?’

‘No clue. But why’s it that the planet is called Mercury but so’s the stuff in a thermometer? Ya know?’

‘Huh? Yeah, you’re right. Why’s it that way?’

‘It’s all from secret missions. NASA. They get bits of the planet and shove it in thermometers.’

‘Really? Why’s that?’

‘Shhhh! Not so loud. They’ll hear ya. It’s about mind control.’

‘No!’

‘It’s in their nature, see? Make us robots. ’S’true.’

‘Lemme buy’ya drink.’
