One For Woody

A joke from my childhood, written in honor of our friend, Woody

 

From a far off galaxy, the flying saucer burned through earth's atmosphere and spiraled down through clouds and blue sky until it glanced off Oakville's water tower. Careening wildly, it skidded across highway forty-five and rolled into the ditch like a thrown hubcap, eventually coming to rest against an empty KFC bucket. Moments later, a small door opened and two little green men staggered out.  As soon as they got their footing and straightened their tiny helmets, they began scurrying about, looking inside Coke bottles, oil cans, and beneath gum wrappers.

"Hoi, Whizzerbizkit!"

"Whats izit, Dogbik?"

"What's we  looking for?

"Little wimin, you fool!"

Of course they were Samuel. There's no way they are here to be taken to our leader. A five minute meeting with him (you know the one, looks like an angry oompa loompa) and they'll decide to blow the planet up to make room for a galactic highway! 😃

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks, I agree. Humans (Americans, at least) are shown to be too dumb to exist.

[Lorry]

Our lot are no better. Life in 2024 reminds me more and more of the movie idiocracy! 😃

[SweetNutmeg]

Do you think they read the book? lol, very cute. Keep 'em coming!

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks. This is old, but I'll try to write more.

[Samuel Dickens]

Thank you. I picture it as a cartoon.

Sam,
Were these little green guys looking for Louisa May Alcott's book, "Little Women?" How'd they even know she wrote it?!! Why would they think they would find it in a roadside ditch?! Didn't they know about public libraries?!! Maybe they didn't have a library card?!! Sam . . . I don't get it!!!!!, Sam, Explain it to me , Pleeeeeeeeesssse!!!!!

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks, Tom. If you'll just take yourself back to the age of nine, it'll be perfectly clear... believe me.

Only you could come up with something so imaginative, so brief, & so entertaining! I sure do miss Woody . . . have you seen him at the Café in the past year or so? I like the way you create this alien language in a way that's still understandable! (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks, Margie. No, I haven't see Woody around for quite a while. We could use some of his silly humor again.

[barleygirl]

He taught me to write a fun story with a wild twist at the end!

[roarke]

[Will Neill]

Take Care
Will

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks, Will. He pops in every now and then. Maybe he's pinned down by honey-do's?

[Woody]

hahahaha now there's a man after my own heart!! thank you very much Sam.

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks, Woody. I may have another of these in me.

[Marie]

[Woody]

[Samuel Dickens]

Thanks, Marie and Woody. Humor is a good thing.
