The Stampede...

The knob turned. The sluice gates opened, setting free millions and millions of men and women, who, having been suppressed for what seemed like a zillion years, got highly charged up and ran at full speed trying to get into each other's arms. But Big Brother had one more ace up his sleeve... A force field, imperceptible to the naked eye, was formed midway between the two groups of denizens so desperately attracted to each other. The faster they ran, the stronger the force field grew, till the screaming masses were all pushed against the filed, unable to cross it but desperately willing to do so. It was a mass stampede which would have made Jallianwala Bagh or Heysel look the way David looked when he stood in front of Goliath.
Big Brother looked up and lanced at his disciple. "What man?? Fatal attraction, first sex, and s****ing?? Pay attention in class, man!!"
The disciple was bored. He was fed up to his back teeth with the place, the people (including some 'greater' mortals), and everything else that one could possibly get fed up with. He wanted to get this over with. Big Brother wanted him to make the denizens have sex. He had no idea how to do it and was hoping Big Brother would give him a clue.
But after all, David had beaten Goliath. Jallianwala Bagh and Heysel are both famous, very famous. But such a mass stampede, unknown to anyone??
Then the disciple realised the terrible truth... he switched on the power supply and watched as the electrons and holes coupled across the barrier region to produce forward bias.
