Sural did not find the holodeck ‘entertaining’. Entertainment, he had come to realize, was something that Terrans and other races indicated they required for various reasons. Most of which took up valuable time. He had ever been humored, if humor was something he could substantively define - more like pondering the irony - of the meaning of the Terran word for entertainment. It originated from an old Terran language that, roughly, meant ‘prevent or barr’ from ‘entering’. Thus entertainment was an acceptable form of action in which they were prevented from entering into their approprate destiny. Or so Sural had concluded. When he had posed this suggestion to his podmates at the Academy many years ago, one had replied in his Texan drawl, “Surrie, there is an old earth proverb y’all should take to heart. All work and no play makes a Vulcan a dull boy. Or something like that.”
=^= Ensign Pierce, if you are available, would you please attend me in Holodeck 2? =^= Some might suggest that what Sural was considering was entertainment. Sural, of course, would logically consider it to be ‘team building’.
