Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper has his application in to replace Cupid with “Stupid” as the Valentines Day symbol in keeping with the current trend for utterly unqualified candidates assuming positions of great responsibility.
As the keeper becomes widely known as Valentines Day “Stupid” and builds an appropriate following, he will replace Cupid’s symbolic bow and arrow with an AK47 with extra clips which will be used only to fire aimlessly up into the air to impress others as to Stupid’s boundless capacity for turning love into hate as Stupid’s spent bullets fall harmlessly back to earth.
(In the middle of the keeper’s further “Stupid” planning, and just as he had chosen an armed weasel as an appropriate symbolic figure, Phyllis said he should eat his breakfast, and she added, unsolicited, that she loved him. The keeper responded with stealing a Valentines Day kiss and felt the glorious sting of a Cupid arrow!)
