the evidence


by bofa xesjum



once upon a time, an archbishop lived in a wagon beside a excavation site.

the archbishop always wanted to have a dog and be a clown.

one day, a magician came along.

what do you want? the archbishop asked the magician.

i want a quiet life, the magician said .

i don’t think that is likely. the archbishop replied.

just then, a conquering hero hove into view.

the archbishop understood everything.

the magician destroyed the evidence.

afterwards, a friendly fellow joked about it.

and said , what was that all about?

a journalist agreed.

we will never see that again, at least until armageddon freezes over.

the witness


by bofa xesjum



once upon a time, an intellectual named max lived in a garage beside a zoo.

the intellectual always wanted to dream his life away and be an orangutan.

one day, a quiet fellow named harold came along.

what do you want, max asked harold.

i want understanding, harold said

i don’t think canada is much of a country, max replied.

just then, a man with an enquiring mind named aldo ran quickly past, carrying a large strawberry ice cream cone.

max admired the sky.

harold went mad.

afterwards, a republican named jasper nodded sagely.

and said , what can you expect from such people? as a gigantic moth floated over his head.

an expert witness named ethan agreed.

we will never see that again, at least until expectations are lowered to a reasonable level.

a strange occurrence


by bofa xesjum




a wise man was opening his mail.

suddenly a virgin goddess quietly stole into the room.

this must be a joke, the wise man exclaimed .

didn’t you understand the prophet’s message? the virgin goddess replied .

it was really too much for the poor wise man.

then an important message just happened to flash by.

what is the problem? the messenger asked the wise man.

an explosion of congratulations erupted spontaneously.

a highway robbery emerged.

the media reported that the queen had baked an apple pie.

but her next of kin, the black prince, had different ideas.

and decided to throw the apple pie out of the highest window in the castle.

later, the head of the praetorian guard confessed that no flowers had actually bloomed.
