In my defence I'd like to make a poi.. er, let me rephrase that, what I mean to say is that the whole poi.. er, the plot of the story, if you remember, is that Oblio was born pointless in the land of Point and because of that he ( and his dog Arrow ) were banished to the pointless forest ( where all things are pointless and nothing is pointed ) where they met all kinds of neat creatures including the pointed man who quickly pointed out that "a point in every direction is the same as no point at all."

Upon his return the townspeople greeted Oblio and Arrow and gave them a hero's welcome. You see, no one ever had been to the Pointless forest, so naturally they wanted to know what was there. Oblio told his story and when he was finished, he stood up and proclaimed, "Since every thing I've seen has a point then I must have one too". Some one in the crowd yelled "He's got a point there." The Count removed Oblio's hat, hoping to quiet the crowd, but revealed (to his astonishmnt) a point on Oblio's head. At that moment, all the points on the tops of the buildings and people began to melt.

So in the end it was all pointless and everyone lived happily ever after.
