ultra-short narrow blue violet band of visual light to realign the stem 
cell remnants inside my eyes.  But before you can understand first you 
have to know about free remnant stem cells.” 

“Look Jerry, even if you explain those what's it cells and stuff to me
till past dinner time I won't understand.  You did say it started out 
as a thing to improve your eyes but that is not what it does now.  So 
what does it do now?” 

“It makes you younger.  See Deb when someone's stem cells are exposed to
the remainder particles from regular cells that were destroyed by aging 
you get a reaction of the ....” 

“Jerry you are doing it again.  Did you say it makes you feel younger?” 

“No.” 

“No what, no it doesn't make you feel younger?” 

“Well yes it does but no you don't feel younger.” 

“Okay Jerry it has been good talking to you about your new shinny blue
toy but I have to go fill out my Publishers Good Luck forms and get 
them in the mail before next months deadline.  Good luck with your eyes 
by the way and now can run me back home so I can try and get some 
sleep.” 

“Hold on a second Deb.  I know you would like to win one of those prizes
but first let me explain about how it works now and also about the 
younger part.” 

This was one of those places where Jerry's complete lack of common sense
became most apparent. 

“See if you stand in the light and sort of turn around slow like, you
get younger from the inside out so I guess you do feel younger but you 
don't exactly know it because you quick like forget what it feels like 
to be old and then start thinking about other things. 

“Is it safe?  This sounds to me like one of those funny products the
info commercials hype on late night TV.  Does it really work?  After 
you get young, do you get double old when it wears off or have some 
kind of bad hangover?  Wait just a second here what do you mean you 
start thinking about things.  Hell Jerry what does that mean what sort 
of other things?  Do you start thinking people are out to get you or 
maybe start wanting to hurt yourself?” 

“No Deb it's not like that at all, at first I only stood in the beam for
about ten minutes at a time and boy did I feel good.  Then I did it for 
a little longer you know about an hour or two with most of my clothes 
off.  That was when I got to thinking about how we used to be a couple 
back in the day.  I started thinking about how much I missed having a 
girl friend.  I also got the idea some cold beer or maybe some wine 
would taste real good.  Then I remembered I always had a big cigar with 
my beer so I wanted a cigar too, and maybe a hot tub.  You know stuff 
like that sort of seemed real important after about a couple of hours 
of close exposure.” 

“Jerry you don't you have a hot tub or wine here in the lab.” 

“Oh I know that.  See Deb just standing here near the beam is giving you
the idea.  I was thinking about putting a cot down here in my lab and 
then I could turn the beam way down and let it run all night for a 
while.  You know just so I can document the effects before I apply for 
patents.  No, I didn't get my hot tub installed quite yet.  You may 
want to keep turning around slowly and maybe take off your jacket and 
stand a little closer so you can soak up more of the...  What should I 
call it?  Beam seems so ordinary.  You will notice it does sort of 
tickle and more in some places than in others.  My wisdom teeth felt 
funny like they were shrinking up or something. 

“You know Jerry I do sort of feel something.  I seem to remembered they
have a hot tub over at that new motel by the interstate maybe you could 
get a room over there with an extra electrical outlet for the...  What 
name did you decide on?  How about calling it the “Back up Beam” or 
maybe a simpler “Back Beam”.  Good lord Jerry my false teeth are even 
fitting better and my knees feel great.  We might run by my place on 
the way to the Motel.  I confiscated some of those funny cigarettes 
from my grandkids last week and totally forgot to flush the stuff down 
the john.  McDonalds opens in about ten minuets we could grab something 
there for the munchies.  Maybe we could make a quick stop at Price Rite 
Wines and Liquor on the way.  Will the machine fit into the back part 
of your jeep?  Be careful and don't drop it but hurry up as much as you 
can.  I bet they have great beds at that new motel.  Here let me hold 
that door open for you”
