Sketch #15 ALTERNATIVES

The following is an excerpt from an interview with Sandeep Chopra (Deepak's estranged brother) after a book signing in New York City.

MM=Mantra Magazine
SC=Sandeep Chopra

MM=Probably the most controversial aspect of your new book is the chapter on contraception. How has that been received on your tour?

SC=A few times there were picketers but for the most part I find most people to be quite interested in my alternatives.

MM=Could you briefly describe some of those alternatives for any readers who might not be familiar with your book?

SC=I would be glad to. You see, modern society is amazing. We can put a man on the moon, but somehow we have never been able to provide safe and effective birth control. It has been my experience through years of study that a method that combines one part Mountain Dew and four parts prayer is a quite effective means for controlling unwanted pregnancy.

MM=You have case studies to document this?

SC=Yes, in fact most people will tell you that prayer often works without the Mountain Dew.

MM=So the Mountain Dew is added insurance.

SC=Yes, you are quite right.
