Pervasiveness of DE Incompetence

Just thought I'd share this tidbit...

Last night, we were playing with a video game we'd just bought, which 
has the original version of Pac-Man, along with other old arcade 
games. (Remember, the ones before blood would spill all over the 
screen, and only required one button and the joystick...but I 
digress...)

Anyway, one game is called Bosconian, and you fly around in your 
spaceship and try to destroy space stations. In the meantime, other 
ships try to shoot you, etc.

At random points in the game, you are attacked by a group of enemy 
ships in formation. Their impending appearance would be announced on 
the screen, with sound effects to indicate that this would be Very 
Bad For You.

So, the six or so ships attack in formation. You turn to fire at 
them. You hit one of them. The rest run away. Every time. No kidding-
that was the extent of the *danger*.

My husband's comment?
"Those ships must be flown by Death Eaters."

Kind of says it all, IMHO...
