Consumption Malfunction - the original sin.

Norm in Crisis Talks With Himself

March 3rd 2009 23:28
International exponent of the lost art of inventing things for the benefit of his own amazement Norm, is today in talks with himself to resolve some unspeakable internal trauma.

It is understood that the dramatic events have been secretly playing out since he laid eyes on this apple that is just out of reach, tantalisingly so.

"It seems that the closer I get to having it in my hot little hand, the further away it really is. I grew an inch when I saw it, but it grew too," the dog-paddling fool said.

The pathetic idiot, an idiot from all sides, has never seen such a firm and exotic piece of nature's rich bounty and it's killing him slowly but sourly to be unable to reach it.

"I like that it's just out of reach but I'm finding it hard to keep my head above water. Not that I mind going under. I think I saw five cents on the bottom," he gargled.

The crisis talks to be held on neutral territory will see Norm face his darkest and steepest desires in a bid to resolve the intolerable earnings he feels are within him.

"I earn. I ache. It must be that I hope to get something out of these talks. A new pair of pants, for a start. If not that, what else?" the besotted idiot complained.

The besotted idiot, opening up his gaping wound for the arse of the world, has formed an onion that there are some things in this world worth writing for.

"It's so funny I forgot to laugh. I forget a lot of things; like where my hands have been. That's a good reason you shouldn't shake my hands. I never know where they've been."

I hope I'm not interrupting. I probably should have knocked first.

I recently put my hand out to a guy to shake and he took my hand so tepidly I thought he must've had some Donald Trump thing going on. Later, going through it in my mind, I wondered if it was just because his hand had been somewhere. Hmmm

Have you yet reached a satisfactory solution?

Thanks everyone for your comments.
As we speak I am brokering an historical deal with myself.
After much negotiation we have reached the conclusion that yes, I am an idiot.
Thank you.

Needless to say, we shook on it.
I have a slight tremor.

I thought with your negotiating skills, you would have come up trumps. So why the tremor?

Barack Obama appointed a special envoy to mediate between his various selves. Dick Cheney, on the other hand, simply shot himself in a bizarre hunting accident, mistaking himself for a turnip.

There did seem to be some drama late in the proceedings when a particulaly childish version of myself appeared at the table. Luckily, I couldn't see over myself, otherwise there would have been a right royal tanty.

The turnips were delicious.

I'll fill you in on everything you've missed.
And that about covers it.
Except the crisis has been averted.
It's a disaster.
