SPOT'S EDIBLE UNDERWEAR by James "Kibo" Parry Copyright (C) 2005 James "Kibo" Parry Spot and Einstein were looking at a big thing. Einstein pointed to where various colors of sticky bikini briefs were trundling along a conveyor belt. "My greatest invention. It's a perpetual-motion machine which constantly invents new flavors of edible underwear." "KIWI!" yelled the machine. "PERSIMMON NOUGATINE!" "Wow!" gasped Spot. "Can't it make anything other than edible underwear?" Einstein smiled and flipped a small switch from "MAKE EDIBLE UNDERWEAR" to "MAKE SOMETHING OTHER THAN EDIBLE UNDERWEAR". The machine thought a moment. "EDIBLE COLOSTOMY BAGS!" Then it exploded. "Ow!" yelled Spot, "Your stupid machine exploded in my eye and got shards of nougatine all up and down my viscera!" But Spot was just a puppy, and puppies are very resilient. He stopped bleeding and trotted out of the building, happy that the trauma had already made him forget everything he knew about edible underpants. He immediately chanced upon a discreet shop. Its flashing neon sign said: AMERICAN EDIBLE UNDERWEAR BUFFET "Wow!" wowed Spot, "Edible underwear! I never thought of that!" He went inside, but was puzzled. "All I see are BVDs and Hanes and Calvin Klein and Fruit Of The Bleeping Loom! None of those are edible underwear!" The maitre d' explained that, technically, all underwear was edible given sufficient motivation, then rabbit-punched Spot's face several times. "Waah! Stop hitting me! I'm never going to eat any underwear! Munch, munch. Okay, all gone! How much do I owe you for the two pairs I ate?" Spot paid his fifty-eight dollar bill (not counting the 15% tip to the underwear waiter) and fled the weird buffet which had underwear and even waiters. On the sidewalk, Spot realized something. "Wait! There's no such thing as a fifty-eight dollar bill! It would have to have a picture of a President so obscure that the author of this story couldn't even make his name up if he wanted to!" This startling concept halted Spot's brain in its tracks (while it was still inside his head) and he again forgot that he knew all about edible underwear, or that he had eaten the only other kind of underwear. Then Spot stepped in a puddle. One of his paws was wet! Spot cried! The tears ran down his face and dripped onto the pavement, forming a second puddle, which he also stepped in, causing him to both cry and scream like a little girl. "EWW! ICK! MOMMY, I'M MOIST!" But no help was forthcoming, not even from one of the city's many Public Mommies. (Most of them were undercover cops, but they weren't interested in Spot because Public Mommies are above the law, and dogs are beneath the law.) Spot tried to dry off his damp feet by sticking them into a square of wet cement where the sidewalk was being extended. He sank in with a "blorp", because the sidewalk was eight feet thick here! Spot barely managed to pull himself out before he could drown in gray goo, but by then the cement clinging to his midsection was hardening. Spot was now wearing cement underwear! "Waah!" squalled Spot, "I never wanted my underwear to be permanent, inedible, and/or gray!" This was terrible! And so were the events described by this story! Spot decided to kill himself. He ran home and threw himself into the intake of Einstein's Perpetual Edible Underwear machine. Dog-flavored panties came out the other end. Einstein sold them all, except for the pair he wore on special occasions. THE END. -- K. Spot seems to have an awful lot of adventures involving eating inedible stuff. That makes him stupid!
