Has there ever been an
animal so cute and adorable that a predator decided not to eat it?
(“Please? Look into my large, universally trusting eyes …”)
If time-travel were
possible, and people could go back at the end of their lives to tell
their younger selves a few things to do better, would history see an
up-tick in college retention, volunteer work, voting, progressive
political action, and environmental consciousness—alongside its
increase in sexually-transmitted infections, skydiving, and world
tourism?
When humans are no longer
the premiere dictators of this natural world, will the next species
up piece our practical wisdom and heroic stories back together, along
with our bones and funny machines? (“And if you'll look to the
left: this is called a Ferris wheel—they used to sit in these and
spin around for amusement …”)
If women were in charge of social-political world affairs, would men still be allowed to go without shaving on
weekends and wear comfortably ratty clothes outdoors?
Has anyone ever been wearing
a really tight G-string, and farted so intensely that it played a
note? (“Sally! Hurry up, we can still make it in line for free
beers if {Blllrrrng} … What was tha?-eew!”)
