A Job With the Band

Jim Bob (pictured), even though a Texan, had never really liked country music.  His real love was Tchaikovsky–Swan Lake, etc.   After band in high school, a degree in music from the University of Phoenix (on line), and finally taking a doctorate in modern classics from Juilliard, Jim Bob was hoping for a job with a major orchestra, maybe in the percussion section where his natural talents lay.

Weird Science

All the girls at school loved the way Petey was perfectly comfortable hanging upside down from the ceiling; they begged him to tell them how he did it.  Petey, a frog of few words, just said “weird science”. . .

Where Do Rattles Come From?

Like alligators (everyone else has crocodiles and caimans), rattlesnakes are found only in the Americas.  Huey wondered where they got their rattle. After several difficult months and the freedom of information act, he  discovered that rattles were grown in a covert, organic rattle farm in Oregon and drop shipped to each rattlesnake several times a year, no charge, courtesy of the government.  Now, lack of funding made it likely the program would be cut, and another unique North American species would become ordinary.

Tattoo?

Elton (pictured)  was well educated; he had a degree in Political Science from the University of Phoenix (on line),  he knew the words to all of the Lady GaGa songs, and he did quite well with them at Karaoke night.  But he was a flop with chicks–he couldn’t get a date to save his life.  He wondered if getting a tattoo might help as part of an extreme makeover . . .

When an email from a friend asked Otis if he had learned anything of value from the recent presidential debates, he just sent a “selfie” and the message LOL . . .

Romulan Cloaking Device

Gerry, always a big Star Trek fan, saw some real benefits to the Romulan Cloaking technology, and as a proponent of developing local technology, decided to try to combine the systems.  It was a work in progress . . .
