Yesterday morning I dreamed that in an effort to escape the evil mages, I transfigured myself into a whale. An excellent plan, except that I did this on a street a good few blocks away from the ocean.
Once I was a whale I figured this out, and tried to make my way to the ocean by rearing up and balumphing down. Thusly moving along the road. Of course, when they aren't in water whales begin to die, so my balumphing strategy didn't get me very far.
I have wonderful images of the cars in the street that I squashed with my enormous bulk, because they weren't expecting a whale from above, and couldn't get out of the way fast enough.
I'm pretty sure I didn't make it in this dream. Whales just can't travel easily on dry land.
Leason is this: If you transfigure yourself into a whale, make sure you do it in the ocean, stupid!
