The famous Croatian cricketer, Morove von Moraustivch never knew when to stop! Once he got started on something; like, playing golf, watching Star Trek episodes, or eating imported gourmet Parisian cheese, he would just go on, and on, and on until he passed out from either sheer exhaustion or tears. Having experienced this problem since early childhood, Morove ingeniously developed several plans and contingencies to protect himself from potentially going overboard, and creating some serious problems for himself and the community. These plans included, having his alter-ego Jerry slip some sleeping pills into his soup for gentle sedation, having his local civic-centre secretary phone him with a secret word that would send him into a temporary trance-like fetal state, and in extreme circumstances, telepathically send a message through time and space to his younger self; explaining his current situation, and demanding that he immediately travel forward into the future, and throw a bucket of ice cold water over his irrepressible self.
