Soldiering on with this pathetic introduction.

One day Dave, Nerd Boy, The Human Electric Cable, and Fido were all playing poker at Dave's.
"WOOF!/MOO!" Bellowed Fido. (Rough translation, "you're bluffing! I raise you twenty!")
The Human Electric Cable wasn't doing so well because he was currently earthed, and as everyone knows, if an electric line is earthed and you touch it you get a zap. (Actually, I don't think that's true, but for the sake of this blog, electricity was flowing through him.) His cards were sizzling.
Nerd Boy was winning, because he remembered what everyone had played and already knew how the game was going to end, what Dave was cooking for tea tonight, and in which year a cure for the common cold was going to be invented.

As is the usual case with alter egos, Dave was a very tidy man. (Yes, alter egos are always very tidy.) Even though he worked in the rubbish industry, his house was spotless. Surfaces gleamed and sparkled, you could see your face in everything, even the mirrors! Yes, his house was truly amazing.

His shiny, clean phone rang. Dave put on his plastic gloves (well, he didn't want to get it dirty again!)
"Hello, Dave!' said a cheery voice. "It's Danger here! I have a top secret mission for you! I'm faxing it through now! Toodle pip!"
A clean piece of paper with clean ink on it came out of the clean fax machine.
Dave read it.
Hmm.... I wonder what it said?
