I'm going to give you a Voyager episode title. You have to write a long, obnoxious parable for Chakotay to bore us to death with. The rules are:
1. Chakotay must include the episode title.
2. Chakotay must make the parable as funny as possible.
3. Chakotay must explain how this parable pertains to some aspect of the episode. The more insane the logic, the better.
This week's episode is:

FADE IN: INT, VOYAGER, READY ROOM
JANEWAY: What can we do, Chakotay? If we turn him over to the Q they'll just put him back inside that comet for all eternity. If we defend him, he'll die. And even though he wants to die, I am not about to let him do it aboard my ship.
CHAKOTAY: There may not be much we can do, Captain. In many ways it's-
JANEWAY: Remarkably similar to an ancient tale handed down by your forefathers?
CHAKOTAY: Well, yes. So? Anyway, according to the story there was once a respected medicine man who had devoted himself to a life of peace. He refused to raise an arm against his fellow man. One day, a group of bandits sacked the village and killed the medicine man's wife and daughter. He was devastated. An ill wind seemed to blow over him. He was possessed by the spirit of the Lor'kal. The spirit of vengence. It granted him a single, deadly wish. A wish of death. A death wish.
JANEWAY: He wished to die and join his family?
CHAKOTAY: No, he wished for a stout bow and a magical quiver of homing arrows. Then he went out and killed all the bandits.
JANEWAY: Chakotay, that's a charming, if horrible, story, but what does it have to do with us? Quinn doesn't want revenge. He just wants to die.
CHAKOTAY: Right, right. So why don't we get the medicine man to do it?
JANEWAY: Chakotay? Get out.

And despite Sol's request that I do another one, I do believe this contest shall be the last of its kind. With only one person entering, its simply not worth it.
