The Journey To HR, Part 87!





“WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?”

That’s what I heard from a booming voice.

I tried to speak, but couldn’t.

It was almost like I had something stuck in my mouth.

I looked around but really couldn’t since I was lying face down on a cloud.

I heard a squelching sound and, with my limited field of vision, saw a pair of tiny feet.

I felt a pulling from the back of my neck and soon the corn stalk was removed.

I spit out some blood, leaves and corn and sat up.

A tiny angel was looking down at me, smiling beatifically.

I smiled back.

Then I frowned.

I got up and stretched.

“WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?” boomed that voice again.

“Uhhhh…drop-kicking this little angel off this cloud?” I asked.

“THEN DO IT!” boomed that voice.

So I did.

“THANKS!” boomed the voice.

The whooshing sound was coming back.

“That was it?” I asked, a bit puzzled.

“YEP! ANGEL BOB WAS ANNOYING THE CRAP OUT OF ME AND I JUST WANTED HIM GONE!”

“Wait…..you crap? And wait again…….that was Bob?”

The response was a booming laugh.

The whooshing sound was now louder.

“HEY EVERYONE, IT’S PARTY TIME! BOB’S GONE! MORE BEER FOR EVERYONE!”

As I was carried away, I heard cheering and it almost sounded like an angelic choir even though I’ve never heard one before.



Stephen Johnson

The idea of building a website with Bob came from Stephen in the days of message boards and chat rooms. We settled on the name TheWeirdcrap.com and the rest is history. Retired since he hit the ripe age of 25, he spends most his time doing odd-jobs around the house and digging thru trash bins for "stuff that's still good." Stephen has contributed several short stories and hosted the "Lunatic Ravings" column since the beginning (1999). The idea of writing weekly columns came from Stephen before blogs or blog sites ever existed. So, I guess that makes him THE FIRST BLOGGER IN THE WORLD!!!
