It was another beautiful day in Ellicott City. At the home of multi-
millionaire Donald Insley, he and his young friend Philip were playing a
game of chess.
"Knight to E4," Philip stated in a bored tone. 'Checkmate."
Donny went crazy. "What do you mean, 'Checkmate,'? You're my
sidekick! I'm supposed to win! I'm older!"
"Older isn't always smarter," Philip gleefully replied, ducking from
Donny's roundhouse. Just then the telephone rang.
"Saved by the bell," Donny muttered, before picking up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Batman?" It was Commissioner Steve.
"Who else would it be? This is the bat hotline."
"Oh, yes," Steve muttered to himself. "Anyway, a gang of girls have
been making the outrageous claim that women are equal to men."
"Holy feminism!" Philip shouted.
"Don't worry, Commissioner," Donny relied, glaring at Philip for his
annoying habit of shouting "Holy," fill-in-the-blank. "We'll be right
there," Donny hung up the phone. "To the Batpoles!" He ordered before
charging directly into the bookcase. "Philip, when I say, 'To the
Batpoles,' you turn the switch. Philip!"
"Huh?" Philip snapped out of his dream-like state.
"Just turn the switch."
Philip nodded before flicking the light switch off.
"Not that switch, Philip," Donny said exasperatedly.
"I can't find it again," Philip sounded lost.
"Oh for," Donny muttered to himself. He strode across the room to where
the light switch was located and flicked it back on. "Now, watch me," He
ordered. He walked over to his desk, and flipped back the head of a bust
of Shakespeare, revealing a knob, which Donny turned. "Now, to the
Batpoles," Donny exclaimed before rushing to the space behind the bookcase
and sliding down the poles. Philip quickly followed.

The girls emotions were building to a frenzy. "We need to show those sexist pigs that we're strong too," Amanda exclaimed. The girls went wild. "How were you proposing to do this," Virginia Insley, sister to multi- millionaire Donald Insly inquired. "Simple. We'll kidnap one of the more influential male chauvenists and hold him ransom. Our price? The passage of the Equal Rights Amendment!" "Might I suggest someone," Ginny questioned. "Might I ask who," Amanda replied. "My brother, multi-millionaire Donald Insley." Amanda smiled evilly.
