You might wish to see if the individual you were talking with
used to enjoy the old TV series called "Science Fiction Theater".
I remember seeing that scenario as one of their episodes.
If he is not an S.F.T. fan, then I'd be interested in seeing the
info., it is an interesting possibility.
Later...
