Mr. Wumpus,
and the Hippies
Elves
It
was the morning. The sun just coming up over the rolling green hills.
Birds chirping. Squirrels playing on the grass. Mr. Wumpus wakes up
to such a beautiful day that he can't do anything but stand at the
window and take it in for awhile. Suddenly there was a screech as one
of the squirrels stepped on the trip wire that drops a section on
lawn into a deep fryer. Mr. Wumpus now thinking about how hungry he
was headed over to the kitchen. He got a large bowl and filled it
with deep fried grass, dirt and squirrel. And took a big bite of it,
but there was something missing, so Mr. Wumpus headed over to the
pantry and got some fresh pixies, which he proceeded to put into a
pixie press and smash them into his breakfast. With horrible screams
of pain the pixies were mushed through the holes in the pixie press.
now that Mr. Wumpus's breakfast had smashed up bits of screaming
pixie on it, the taste was just right. Finishing his traumatizing
breakfast, Mr. Wumpus gets dressed for work. Then grabs his briefcase
and heads out the door, full of screaming goodness.
Heading
through the town of happy ponies Mr. Wumpus bumps in too old Mrs
Wetherfield, who needs help crossing the street.
“Time
for a good deed” Thinks Mr. Wumpus.
Mr.
Wumpus stops and begins to help Mrs Wetherfield across the street.
Along the way an insane drunk comes driving a car straight at them.
Knowing exactly what to do Mr.
Wumpus puts Old Mrs. Wetherfield between himself and the car. Mr.
Wumpus of course is just fine as his great strength stopped the car
in its path and putting Mrs. Wetherfield in the way kept his suit
from getting wrinkled.
“Well
then shall we continue.” Mr. Wumpus says to a now very much thinner
and more dead version of Mrs. Wetherfield. Noticing this Mr. Wumpus
says. “Oh...ops. Well there is always tomorrow for good deeds.”
As he continues across the street, dropping Mrs. Wetherfield's corpse
into a manhole along the way.
As
Mr. Wumpus reaches work the screams from the pixie bits have started
to die down, leaving the the screams from the tougher jolly elf and
enchanted tree from the previous day. “Hmm...perhaps I should
take a early lunch today. I'll have to see how the Jolly Elves are
doing first.” Mr. Wumpus looks out over the work floor. The
elves appear to no have slept the previous night. “Wow the
productivity I would loose if I didn't feed all the elves speed.”
Says Mr. Wumpus. The elves however were not working very hard, they
seemed to be sitting or standing in one place shaking and sweating
“Damn
where do they keep getting those chairs...” Says Mr. Wumpus. He
begins to reach for his slave driving whip, when his stomach starts
growling with the lack of screams in it. “Hmm...No time for that.
I'll have to fix this in some other way” Thinks Mr. Wumpus.
So
Mr. Wumpus turns the temperature up a few more degrees then sets the
floor to electrocute anything that stands still for more then 4
seconds. True that most of their tasks take at least seven minutes to
complete, requiring that they stand in one place for that time, but
this should teach them to dance and work. Mr. Wumpus is always on the
watch for ways to increase employee moral, and what better way to do
that then by introducing dancing to the workplace? Mr. Wumpus then
proceeds to take that much needed early lunch.
Back
into the Town of Happy Ponies Mr. Wumpus walks. He heads right for
his favorite Cafe. Sitting down he orders a small coffee and a
sandwich. Sitting out on the patio with the wind lightly blowing Mr.
Wumpus begins to read a book that he had brought with him. as he
drinks his coffee, and eats his sandwich, then the waitress. This was
Mr. Wumpus's favorite cafe for several reasons. One being that he
owned it so that he didn't have to pay for anything. The other being
that he lured the less intelligent to work there by offering high
wages for simple tasks. In the three years that the cafe has been in
existence Mr. Wumpus has never signed a pay check. After lunch Mr.
Wumpus heads over to the local press. He has a letter which he slips
under the door as he passes by. The letter anonymously says what is
happening with the enchanted trees. That being that they are ripped
to bits for making cookies. Then he heads back to his office and
waits.
By
the evening news there are stories everywhere about this. Along with
these stories come large groups of hippies. Mr. Wumpus looks out over
the front lawn of the factory. Several hundred hippies have gathered
in protest of his cookie business. He waits until there are about
five hundred of them. With the smell of over five hundred hippies the
trap door is activated and all the hippies are dropped into a large
hole that appeared below them.
"It
was getting close there, I was running out of raw materials since all
the elf rights activists had left town. I almost had to start feeding
the elves other elves to keep production up." Says Mr. Wumpus as
he flips on the closed circuit camera that shows the the hippies in a
darkened room unknowing of their fate. When suddenly there was a
grumbling in Mr. Wumpus's tummy. Something that he ate must have
disagreed with him. So he headed to the evacuation room. Upon
completing his evacuation. He realized that he had evacuated the elf
that he had eaten a few days ago. Not one to be wasteful Mr. Wumpus
pored a generous portion of peroxide on the half digest elf, and sent
it back to work. Putting him in the special flavors section, as the
puss from the digestion and peroxide wounds get into the cookies,
giving them special flavors.
Mr.
Wumpus starts up the process of turning the hippies into elf chow.
Then sits back enjoying his handy work, and the screams of the
hippies as they sprayed with water and soap. Mr. Wumpus smiles to
himself as he hears their shouts about destroying their beliefs of
not bathing, and that nothing is more sacred to them then their
beliefs in hygiene. Which is soon followed by much louder shouts as
they are mashed into little bits to make for food that looks more
like slop.
“What
a day.” Thinks Mr. Wumpus.
And
a day it had been.
