Well, I've been reading about all these people who get millions of dollars from suing big corporations. Some woman got five million dollars for finding a finger in her chili!
Ooh, that's disgusting.
In more ways than one, bro. In more ways than one.
I'd like two Bertha Burgers, two large fries, two side salads and two chocolate shakes.
You wanna supersize that order?
What does that mean?
For only 50 cents more, we put another 18 ounces of meat on your burger, give you 2 pounds of fries instead of only one, and put your shake in a gallon container.
Okay, that sounds good. Oh, and could I get nonfat dressing for the salads?
Uh-Oh, Ed. We forgot about Mother's Day. We are so-o-o grounded!
Not to worry, brother of mine! We've been gone nearly a year. We'll show up, tell the story of our adventures, and Mom will be so glad to see us, she won't mind that we missed her important day!
Tell her the story of our adventures?
Yeah! She'll be so amazed, she'll forget all about anything else!
Uhm, Ed...I can't remember anything after last June.
Not to worry, Bro! We'll make it up as we go along. You just follow my lead. To Tumbleweed Junction!
Well, I've always wanted to write a children's book.
Ooh! You mean with fluffy little bunnies and they have adventures and stuff?
Hmm...I think I need to ponder this idea a bit. How about you fix me a pitcher of Manhattans, and leave me alone for a few hours. You can watch cartoons or something.
Ed, I've watched all the Bugs Bunny cartoons and the Ren and Stimpy tape got stuck in the machine. I think I might have left a bacon sandwich in there last time.
That's okay, Bro. I'm ready to take a break. This writing stuff is hard work.
I wish I was smart like you!
Well, we can't all be geniuses, little brother. Make us some lunch, and then you can help me balloon-bomb old lady West while she weeds her jalapeno patch.
Oh boy! How about I make my famous liver sausage-apricot jelly sandwiches?
Uh... Actually, I'm not really hungry. Fetch the balloons and the mayonnaise. First one to hit the old bat on the noggin wins!
Ha-Ha! That last mayo-balloon splattered all over! The old lady sure was mad!
Yes. I feel refreshed. Now it's back to work for this ink-stained scribe!
What is your children's book about, Ed?
Well, I've noticed that most youth literature today concerns itself with important issues. So I chose a universal theme, one that I have never seen discussed in children's literature before.
