Duncan was looking into the bottle. He wanted to see something
in there. He wasn’t sure WHAT he wanted to see. Although he was sure of a few
things that he did NOT want to see in there:
-
A fully operational miniature zebra wrestling
zoo, where the zebras wrestle, just to be clear, if the zebras were just to
distract people from the horrifically brutal miniature springbok wrestling
matches in the background that would be fine.
-
A contaminated edition of the daily news that
held the singular story that held the solution to the contamination problem
sweeping the town of Daily, the town named after it’s local paper, and named on
a day when no one knew that ‘daily’ merely meant the frequency of the paper’s
issue.
-
Creepy looking cornhusks hell bent on revenge
against husky dogs for being the most badass things named after husks, with
plans on trying to recruit husky young men to their cause, but not sure how to
do it, because it’s not nice to go up to someone and say ‘hey you look husky,
wanna join my husky campaign’ especially when as a corn, it’s your cousin ‘high
fructose corn syrup’ that’s caused half that huskiness.
-
Beer.
He also knew why he
didn’t want these things to be in the bottle.
-
Cause zebras have weak legs for an animal in
their animal category, so the wrestling matches wouldn’t be brutal enough.
-
Because how did the town have a paper before
it had a town name? That’s backwards fella.
-
Because he was husky, and he had a pet Husky
dog, and he did not want to get in-between it and his best friend, a creepy
looking cornhusk.
-
Because if he was holding a beer, then it
probably meant he had just drank his science experiment, and his boss down at
the ‘Society of Experiments For A Better Tomorrow’ would NOT be happy that he
drank his last six years of work.
Ten minutes later Duncan had a brainwave – it was right as his
best friend the cornhusk began to beat him in his ‘fat tummy’, and the miniature
springbok kicked him in his chin so hard that he spat contamination all over
his newly opened beer – ‘I should have thought more about what I WANTED to see
in that bottle, and LESS about what I did NOT want to see in that bottle!’ he
thought.
And that is why we do not currently have a better tomorrow. Although
I have heard good things about two week’s from Sunday.
