Joking around...
Feeling in a wacky mood today... probably because I just finished my rough cut of Grape Bubble Gum and am feeling rather pleased with it and myself. So I thought I would share my mirth and tell a joke...
There was this fly hovering over a lake. In the lake there was a fish. He saw the fly. He thought... "Hmmmmmm if that fly will just come down six inches, I'll jump up and snag him and have a delightful lunch."
There was a bear in the edge of the woods. He saw the lake. He saw the fly. He saw the fish. He thought... "Hmmmmmm if that fly will just come down six inches, the fish'll jump up and snag the fly, and then I'll grab the fish and have a delightful lunch."
There was a hunter camped in the woods, eating a cheese sandwich. He saw the lake. He saw the fly. He saw the fish. He saw the bear. He thought... "Hmmmmmmmmmm if that fly will just come down six inches, the fish'll jump up and snag the fly, the bear'll reach out and grab the fish, I'll have a perfect shot and a beautiful bear skin rug."
There was a mouse at the edge of the camp. He saw the lake. He saw the fly. He saw the fish. He saw the bear. He saw the hunter's cheese sandwich. He thought... "Hmmmmm if that fly will just come down six inches, the fish'll jump up and snag the fly, the bear'll reach out and grab the fish, the hunter will shoot the bear and be distracted away from his cheese sandwich, and I'll rush out and get it and have a delightful lunch."
There was a cat high in a tree. She saw the lake. She saw the fly. She saw the fish. She saw the bear. She saw the hunter and his cheese sandwich. She saw the mouse. She thought... "Hmmmmm if that fly will just come down six inches, the fish'll jump up and snag the fly, the bear'll reach out and grab the fish, the hunter will shoot the bear and be distracted away from his cheese sandwich, the mouse'll rush out and get it, and I'll pounce on the mouse and have a delightful lunch."
So the fly comes down six inches...
The fish jumps up to snag the fly, but misses...
The bear reaches out to grab the fish, but misses...
The hunter shoots at the bear, but misses...
The mouse runs right past the cheese sandwich...
The cat looses her balance watching all of the excitement and falls from the tree...
The moral of our story: When the fly comes down six inches, the pussy gets wet!
