Humorous Text: What-If Q&A: 10. What if that giant zit I grew on the bridge of my nose on the night of my high school prom really was a "third eye" capable of viewing existence on the astral plane and I inadvertently squirted my shakras on the boy's room mirror? You'd be screwed, karma-wise, your mom would bitch about the mess, and your date would be grossed out to the max. 9. What if Lot's wife had said, "Hey look, Honey! What's that back there?" A clever editor in the Vatican would cut that section out of the Bible centuries ago. Probably be in "The Gnostic Gospels", or "Life of Brian". God as Monty Python skit. Umberto Eco would base an overly-long novel around it 8. What if you opened a tin of sardines one day and found Salman Rushdie, would you turn him in for the bucks? In a heartbeat. "Satanic Verses" was overrated. First, though I'd steal his next manuscript, entitled "Buddha, You Fat Bastard!" so that I could cop the royalties. 7. What if Madonna became your step-mother? She already slept with my stepmother. NEXT! 6. What if Parisiens went out of their way to be courteous, helpful and kind to strangers? You'd be in the Bizarro world. Bizarro Madonna would be a nun. 5. What if Fabio the wonderhunk turned out to not be 100% what he's made out to be? He already isn't. He's really Herve Villechaise after plastic surgery. Madonna told me after she slept with him. NEXT! 4. What if 80 million computer owners said, "Upgrade? Why? It does everything we need, anyway?" 79 million already say that, and only upgrade when the new software won't run on the existing system. NEXT! 3. What if George Michael married Boy George? Would he change his name to George George? Yes, and they'd have a fivesome with Madonna, Fabio, and my stepmother. NEXT! 2. What if Bill Clinton turned out to be a Stepford Husband? What if Hillary Rodham turned out to be a woman? NEXT! 1. What if you were given a choice between root canal work and an Olivia Newton-John film festival? I'd need less drugs to get through the first one. 0. What if your favourite dog came back to life as Shirley MacLaine and scratched at your screen door all night long? I'd call an orgy and invite Madonna, Fabio, George George, President Hillary, and my stepmother.
