YESTERDAY, Here I Come!!!!




 

CRAIGSLIST AD:

I have a functioning time machine (I know it sounds unbelievable, but I assure you it works) that I need a 2nd person to operate with me. I'm looking for someone who is adventurous and reliable. Preferable a male; or a female that can do heavy lifting. I am leaving on June 9th, 2011 in the morning and plan to return July 3rd, 2011 (so I can rest up for the 4th). I am going to June 1988 to handle some business.

If you are serious about time travel and are reliable, then please contact me. You do not have to pay anything, but you would have to provide someone to watch my dog for the time we are gone. The only qualifications needed are that you are reliable and that the circumferance of your head is no more than 64cm.

We will be leaving from Desmoines, Iowa. Let me know if you want to go with me

MY RESPONSE:

I also live in Des Moines and have been wanting to return to the year 1988 to handle a little of my own business; there is a 10 year old girl in 1988 that needs some damage done to her My Little Pony in response to a scissor and fire incident that may or may not have happened to my favorite long haired Barbie doll.

I am adventurous and reliable, however I have a ginormous head that is quite over 64cm. I do however have a head shrinking machine that I use prior to all time travel adventures that would put my head at exactly 32cm. I am a female, however I have a friend that is also excited about this adventure and both of us put together could lift more than 1 male could. She also owns a dog-sitting business, and we would be more than happy to put your dog up in the finest accommodations until we return on the 3rd.

Anxiously awaiting your reply!!

Jill

THEIR RESPONSE:

Dear head-shrinking-machine owner,
 
You sound perfect! However, I do not know if 3 of us could fit in this time machine. I will have to make some tweaks to its standing room and get back to you before tomorrow. We will be wearing helmets (my little sisters Dora the Explora, Elmo, and butterfly stickers) I've got dibs on the  Dora helmet however, so your friend and yourself could take your pick of the other two. (I'd buy us grown up helmets but $20 EACH at walmart??? Come on!)
Also- I am so glad you have a head shrinker! This insures that we will all fit in the helmets and be safe travelling through time at a high rate of speed. My dog will require canned mighty dog, a 42 inch tv with animal planet, and a sofa at least 5 ft long! She is spoiled. I would bring her with, but she gets time machine sick and last time we went back to the 50's she tried to bite a mail man. So no more time travelling for her! I will let you know by tonight if I have gotten some space cleared out for your friend! Thanks!
