\"However, coming back to the story, Lazd Pu had taken to being a nature freak so that he could show off to the girls what a great guy he was. This stemmed, no doubt, from Lazd Pu\'s innate sense of mental insecurity, which was not helped at all by his furious school headmaster, who had seen fit to trash poor Lazd Pu every time Lazd Pu claimed that two and two made five. This unfortunately scrambled poor Lazd Pu\'s mind, and he took to protecting Nature in any way he saw fit making him depend on the praise of Pretty Young Things (PYTs).
Dr A Kula solved this problem the way Dr A Kula always solves any problem involving PYTs—he Fanged them all, and thus relieved Lazd Pu of the terrible necessity of living up to the standards of PYTs. Thus, they became fast friends. Returning to the hovel where Dr A Kula and Lazd Pu were sipping their whiskies--Dr A Kula was also drinking whisky because he feared that there might be germs in the blood of those who visited the hovel. \"
