Viola!
I’d rather be Parallel Universing
Anna! Look! We’re in the Parallel Universe!
It’s almost exactly like our universe, Bob. Our names are even the same!
Ugh! Anna, the ocean’s saltwater! Don’t cry Anna. It’s not that bad.
I miss our Lime Jello ocean.
At least they have the same statue! Doesn’t that make you feel better?
No.
Why?
She’s not holding a stick of Arid Extra Dry deodorant like ours is.
Oh Anna, cheer up! Look! Some of the words on the plaque are the same as ours!
Which ones?
. . . your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . .
* * *
Until next time . . . I love you
where do you get these ideas!! 🙂 haha marvelous. but i’d rather stay in this world. Arid Extra Dry, hahaha
I don’t know KZ! I think my brain, Peanuts, is responsible for most of my ideas. I really don’t have much to do with it! LOL! 😀
Entertaining as always Linda, a parallel universe with a jelly ocean….cool
Thanks Summers! 😀
Ah, Arid Extra Dry made for a woman, but strong enough for a statue.
LOL! 😀
Eh. The statue in my reality is holding the Burrito of Enlightenment.
And after she eats it, trust me, we all want to be able to breathe free…
ahahahahah! From now on the only thing I will ever order at a Mexican Restaurant is the Burrito of Enlightenment! It’s the least I can do for my country!! 😀
🙂 Reminds me of those Glade (and other) things you’re supposed to plug into the wall or spray to make the room smell better. They don’t…at least in my nose’s opinion!
janet
Oh I know what you mean. It only makes me think of whatever it is that my dog or my cat did.
Crunchy, nutty peanut butter brain – Arid Extra Dry(lol).
Ahahah! I love that description. I may have to use it, it my next resume!! 😀
Nice drumroll, Linda, you have many talents. A lime Jell-O ocean, I might look into that.
Ha! I had a feeling those typing drum sound effect lessons would come in handy some day! Lime Jello isn’t my favorite flavor ocean, but I think it’s the most appealing to eye. 😀
I thought you were going to say parallel parking. Nice piece… the ocean’s saltwater! I love it!
Haha! I’d rather be Parallel Parking does have a nice ring to it. I think I’d like to have a bumper sticker that says that!
“Yearning to breathe free.” Oh you slay me! I think I bruised my butt laying on the floor laughing. This is hysterically funny. Great job!
EagleAye! I’m so glad you bruised your butt. That’s the highest of form of praise in my book! 😀
At least the ocean wasn’t Grape Flavored Jello. That universe always leaves a mediciney after taste.
Oh you are so right! That wouldn’t be a parallel universe, that would be hell.
Funny and touching all at the same time! Well done, Linda.
Ah! Thanks Perry!
Dear Linda,
I would think that a lime Jello ocean would be hard to sail a boat through. I’ll take salt water, thankyouverymuch. Fun story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Haha! I think you’d have to eat your way through a lime jello ocean — luckily there’s always room for Jello, though otherwise the whole Jello-ocean concept just wouldn’t be feasible. 😀
sounds like their universe is one big advertisement- even more than ours! I didn’t think that possible, but apparently it is.
You’re right Adam. It looks that way, doesn’t it? And even more than ours — which is even more unbelievable that a Jello ocean! HA!
Haha, very good! Transitioning from an ocean of lime jelly to salt water must have been a bit of a shock.I guess in their universe you simply eat your way to the Statue 🙂
Ha! And there’s always room for Jello so it works out really good! 😀
Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything when I read this. Too funny. 🙂
Oh! Thank you Jackie! I consider that high praise indeed!
You really have some original ideas. jelly oceans… and deodorant liberty… hilarious.
Thank Bjorn! 😀
So do they got to the Jell-O ocean to wrestle? Have dry t-shirt contest? (sponsored by Arid Extra Dry of course) Is English humor considered wet humor? I want to go parallel parking…I mean to the parallel universe. Fun stuff.
Tom
You make the parallel universe sound like so much fun, Tom. I really like that t-shirt contest competition. Maybe that’s how they pick their president!
The Statue of Liberty and “yearning to breathe free”–you should definitely submit the concept to Arid Extra Dry’s ad agency. A winning combination.
You know what? I just may do that! Thanks for the idea! HA! 😀
Very clever, very funny, and with a touch of poignancy.
Loved it.
Ah thank you so much An Elephantcant! 😀
Dear LVH,
Can you hear me laughing in my Universe? Quantum coupling.
Aloha,
Doug
Hah! I just asked my husband who is an engineer what quantum coupling is. He’s still talking . . . I better get back in there before he notices I’m gone. LOL!! Thanks for your comment Doug! 😀
You are so silly! Lol
I really am. I just can’t help myself sometimes! 😀
I just want to say that I found your story very inspiring.
It inspired me to take a bath– something I hardly ever do.
I added 100 boxes of Lime Jello to the water, which may have been a little excessive.
Gee, I sure hope this wonderful “tan” lasts till St. Patrick’s Day… : P
Haha!! Well I just have one question, which you are probably getting pretty tired of answering by now but, Is it easy being green?
Ahhahaha! Yes but Lime Markie MacGiggles Jello would be such a boon to the Jello industry. See it wiggle watch him giggle . . . . you’d be more famous than Jared from Subway! Tan or no tan! 😀
