A six-wheeled alien sauntered over to a larger, eight-wheeled alien.
"Wazzup, boss?"
"I am impressed by your creativity, my young apprentice. You have managed to waste more of the humans' time with these just-so stores of yours, than the rest of us have been able to do with all our old klaptrap flatted flying orbs combined. At the next meeting of the human timewasters summit, I'm going to give you a raise. What would you like the raise to be in?"
The six-wheeler chuckled on the inside. He had actually invented conspiracy theories because he felt too lazy to be bothered to fly an actual flying saucer.
"Why thank you, boss, what an honor! I'd the bonus to be in vacation time. Because the humans do my work for me by spreading my stories themselves, I think I can afford to take some time off without getting behind."
The eight-wheeled alien tensed visibly at the suggestion.
"Well", he stammered, "that's a tall order." He rolled back a bit to think. "I'll see what I can do. Thank you for your tireless service, Mork, the society for the wasting of lesser beings' time has been breathing down our chapter's necks for years over the industriousness of humans. With your breakthrough, we may yet arrest their development without having to send in our precious tripod tanks to wipe them out".
