Ok, here's how this will work.
I'll start telling a story, but I'll quit part of the way through it.
Then, you'll reply to this with another part of the story, but will quit right at the critical point. The person after you will do the same, etc, etc...
Trust me, it'll be fun!
Here goes:
I was at the office, working late one night. I finally finished my work for the day and was getting ready to leave, when all of a sudden
.... I heard a knock at the office door. A squirrel was standing there, carrying a small briefcase and wearing a tie. What does one say to a squirrel with a briefcase? I tried to think of something quick, responding with, "Sorry sir, we do not accept solicitors." The squirrel scowled. "I'm not here to sell you anything, I am here because...."
"...I have a fantastic investment opportunity for you." I replied that I didn't have time to become involved in a pyramid scheme. That made the squirrel very angry. He ...
stated that this was a serious offer and I should listen. Being curious I wanted to know what kind of a scam a squirrel could run anyway so i said I would give him five minutes.
He asked me if I ever heard of nano technologies and how it is going to revolutionize the
Latvia. He explained that the perfume worked on a molecular level, changing the chemical makeup of your skin.
I asked him who would want to invest in such a crazy product. He replied that you weren't investing in the perfume exactly... You were investing in ...
...the welfare of all the squirrels across the world. You see, for many centuries, squirrels just did one thing...collected nuts, ate nuts and collected more day in and day out.
Did he know anyone like that?
He was tired of this rat race, since they got the idea from the local sewer rats, and he was embarking on a new adventure, to step back and really become who he was supposed to be.
This would give new passion to his life, renew his spirit and most of all touch all those around him with inspiration.
Now I was starting to get excited about his possibilities, when out of the blue....
the evil tax collector Norman Bates appeared and yelled, "How dare you squirrel! You have not completed the proper forms to register inspirational ideas! We must have the forms now, plus the fines, plus interest, plus a deposit on escrow for taxes!"
Our hero, the squirrel, aka Jed Bartlett ("JB" to his friends), said
"No speak English," the squirrel replied coldly to the tax collector!
"Liar!" yelled the tax collector. "I just heard you and your partner making an undercover deal!"
"Partner?" I stammered. "Look, pal, this squirrel just showed up here trying to sell me some stuff. I am really busy working and I don't have all night to carry on with this..."
Just then, the tax collector grabbed the squirrel and I by the ears and dragged us into a black van. As the van sped away, the squirrel and I were thrown to rear of the vehicle. A man in the passenger seat turned around, revealing a massive scar on his forehead.
"Look fellas, we're not really tax collectors, we're..."
..."Of Mice and Men" - or "Squirreled News Tonite". A host hasn't been picked for the show but rumour has it that Michael Eisner is interested in sending the winning lucky couples to Disneyland as part of a sponsorship package for the show.
Jed Bartlett asked what his role would be and the man with the scar replied,
...and that is the last thing I remember. "JB, uh?" asked the policeman, now getting visually irritated with my story. I told him that it sounded weird to me too, thats when she walked into the room
then Tony walks in the door. Grabs the fish, opens the fish and pulls out a block of TNT. Disconnects the wires and says, I wanted to make it painless for you but...
will come in and laugh at his hair style, then he will throw the fish at them saying, "We don't have time for this nonsense. We need to get down to business if we are going to try selling liquified fish for as a solution to hemmorhoid relief."
I tried to think of an idea of how we would do this, but my old idea was......
other celebrities who no longer have a real career. Then we can all play with the toys that "Jeffery the Giraffe" brought us from Toys 'R Us. I'm looking forwards to dissecting Elmo to see....
...call his Mother before departing aboard the Space Shuttle.
Remembering that the effects in a zero gravity environment, he would be virtually weightless. He's sure to pack plenty of Twinkies and...
a case of sun screen and some red thongs. "I want to look sexy for my millions of fans when I return" in three hours" Erik said nonchalantly. Little did he realize that the three hour tour would take an unexpected turn. He sighed as he rode off on his motorbike to board the space shuttle. "I hope I can meet....
that reality show producer for Help, I'm A Celebrity.. Get Me Out Of Here! This trip aboard the space shuttle should be interesting but I'd rather be riding a mototcycle on CHiPs instead of floating in zero-G!
