Once upon a time, Johnson
called his wife to say that the Boss was coming for dinner. It
was very short notice, but if he got that big new account, it would
mean more hats and aprons and clamps and speculums and pie birds and
leather hoods for everyone, so dinner would have to be perfect.
Everything was going fine, but upon scraping some entrails into the
garbage disposal, a geiser of spongy tubes and bloody snappers erupted
from the drain, and clung to the ceiling, dripping gore. "Oh,
dear," said Mrs. Johnson. "That's going to be a bitch to clean
up!"
In a panic, she hurried upstairs for a quick bowel movement. She
flushed repeatedly, but her steaming loaf would not budge, and when she
employed the plunger, an unexpected force grasped from within, and held
fast! Now she had guts all over her kitchen ceiling and a
splintering wooden probe jutting out of the toilet. "My
goodness," she sighed. "What the fuck can go wrong next!"
Then, she tried to wash her hands, and the sink ran coarsely chopped
fish heads. They collected in the basin, oozing a thick fishy
aroma and blinking their shiny, vapid eyes. "Heavens to Betsy,"
she moaned. "I guess I'd better call the plumber before the Boss
gets a whiff of this shit!"
The plumber came, and his findings were upsetting.
There was a rampant historical Jesus infestation in her kitchen
plumbing. Buddhas stuffed the pipes behind her toilet. A
slender Allah was snaked around the U pipe under her bathroom
sink. And an angry blue Krishna lay coiled just beneath the drain
in her bathtub, with a film of soap scum and pubic shavings all over
his face.
"Oh, my!" she declared. "What can I do about all these fucking
plumbing deities?"
"I don't know," he said, "But I think you what you really need is an
exterminator!"
Now, you don't get to be the wife of an Junior Executive
Supervising Account Logistics Manager at ImportantCo. by giving up at
the first sign of trouble, so Mrs. Johnson set to work.
With only an hour left before dinner, she stewed up a pot of entrails
and tubers, put on a fresh coat of lipstick and a clean harness,
scraped the tentacles off the ceiling, powdered her gills, and lubed up
thoroughly. When the doorbell rang, she looked fresh as a rose
and the house smelled invitingly of chum.
But it was not her husband and the Boss on her doorstep.
It was "Bob", who said, "Hello Mrs. Johnson, you've got a problem.
You've got Gods in your pipes."
She felt her loins warm slightly, and nodded.
"Wouldn't you rather have pipes in your Gods?"
She drooled just a little, and calmly agreed.
So they fropped together for a while. Time slowed. When the
doorbell rang again, Mrs. Johnson panicked. "Oh no, "Bob"!
What about the Boss?"
"Fuck the Boss!" declared "Bob".
So she did, and Johnson got that big new account, and they lived
happily ever after amid a house full of brand new shit that they could
afford with the promotion money, thanks to "Bob" and his heavenly
wisdom. And now, after a violent spree, when the bodies pile up
in the basement, they chop 'em up and feed 'em to Drain Jesus, whose
thirst for blood is matched only by his love for the flavor of
eggshells and potato peelings and the cool, damp habitat of a kitchen
sink.
The end! Happy Friday!
