Elevator
Farts
Freaknoid
once had a job. This job took him from time to time to a large
building where people wore suits and ties and rode up and down
on elevators. They probably did other things there as well because
to best of Freaknoid's knowledge wearing suits and ties and riding
up and down on elevators does not pay well, unless it is a government
job.
One
day Freaknoid gets on the elevator to go to the 30th story. Many
people got on the elevator with Freaknoid. As soon as the doors
to elevator closed, Freaknoid had the urge to "pass gas". It was
more than an urge it was a force of nature, a tsunami waiting
to be unleashed. Freaknoid fought and fought to hold it in. He
was sure he was going to rupture some vital, internal organ if
he did not let the gas out of his body. The pain was intense and
he started to bend a little at the waist. However he did not want
to cause unbearable suffering to those in the elevator with him
by gassing them, perhaps to their deaths. Just when it seemed
he would either have to rupture a vital internal organ and die
or pass gas, the elevator door opened and all the people got out
on the 12th floor.
Freaknoid
was proud that he held it in and had not gassed the people to
their deaths and he was relieved he could "let it go". He felt
extremely better. Freaknoid avoided rupturing vital organs and
was relieved that he was going to live. Okay so it smelled a little,
but for some reason Freaknoid did not think / does not think that
his gas smells all that bad, especially compared to that of other
people. However he has not found anyone who agrees with this assessment
of his gaseous expellations (this is a term Freaknoid just made
up and the spell checker does not like it at all.)
…
and now back to our story…
Then
the elevator stopped on the 15th floor and about 20 people crowded
onto the elevator. This was of course an unforeseen event.
All
these poor souls got sick. They pulled handkerchiefs from their
pockets or pulled their coats over their faces or futility waived
their hands in front of their faces. Everyone got off on the 16th
floor although they all wanted to go to other floors.
This
story should end with a moral… you know like when they say at
the end of the story… the moral of this story is… and then they
give you some "learning point" so that you can live a better life
from having heard the story and you have something to apply to
your life in the future and will live a better life. Unfortunately
for you there is no moral to this story and now that you have
read it your life will be as miserable and meaningless as it was
before.
Okay if
you must have a moral, the moral to the story is, if you are on an elevator
and you either need to fart, or rupture a vital organ and die, you should
likely rupture the organ and die… in which case stories with morals
won't mean anything to you because you will be dead.
