I have often wondered what Poof gets up to when she goes behind the bushes, so I would like to share with you a little story :)




---------------------------------
POOF'S BUSH



I have always wondered what goes on when Poof goes off behind the bushes, and so one day i decided to wander over there....


Confused looks through bushes, gasps, then collapses on the floor


some time later


Sirens appear in the distance, drawing ever closer, getting louder and louder til they stop outside Poof's house


Paramedic: What's happened?

Poof: I don't know! I just came out from behind the bushes here and he was collapsed on the floor

Paramedic: It looks like his face is all scratched up

Poof: it could be from these bushes, but what was he doing looking through the bushes, and what caused him to collapse

Paramedic: What is behind those bushes?

Poof: Only my hottub

Paramedic: So he was looking through the bushes at the hottub

Poof: Yeah, but there was only me in there

Paramedic: So we have narrowed it down to collapsing due to looking at the hottub

Poof: Yeah, i guess so, but why could he have collapsed?

Paramedic: That's what we will need to find out

Poof: Is there anything else wrong with him

Paramedic: Well it looks like he's hit his head on this paving slab here, doesn't look too nice

Poof: Oh yeah, i was meaning to get Ray to move that the next time he came over to use the hottub

Paramedic: Ray, isn't he that really old guy that has that darn cane?

Poof: Yeah, that's the one! How do you know him?

Paramedic: Oh, we've had to go and see a lot of people who have been hit by some old guy on his Red Rascal with a cane

Poof: Yeah, that's my Ray for sure

Paramedic: Well can you ask him to stop please! I joined here to save people's lives, not to go round and sort out injuries made by some old person with a dasm cane!

Poof: Well i will talk to him. So what are you going to do with Confused?

Paramedic: We will need to take him in and question him about some things

Poof: OK then, thank you


Some time later in hospital


Police Officer: 'Ello 'Ello 'Ello, what do we 'ave 'ere then? So what were you doing looking behind those bushes?

Confused: I was curious as to what Poof was doing when she went behind the bushes

Police Officer: And what did you find?

Confused: Oh, it was hideous

Police Officer: Well, what did you find?

Confused: Well, it was...nothing, i couldn't see anything

Police Officer: So why did you collapse?

Confused: I was expecting to see Poof in the hottub

Police Officer: But instead you saw.....nothing

Confused: Yeah, that's right. I was so shocked

Police Officer: Why were you shocked so much

Confused: Well, i had always been told that Poof had a hottub behind there, but that i was too young to go behind there

Police Officer: So you thought you would go have a look?

Confused: Yeah, then i couldn't see anything, so i passed out due to shock of seeing nothing

Police Officer: Well, do you want me to take you back there to show you what there is there

Confused: Oh, yes please!


The Police Officer and Confused go back to Poof's house, and the Police Officer knocks on the door


*knock knock knock*

Poof: Hello Officer, Confused

Police Officer: Evening ma'am, may we come in

Poof: Certainly, come on in

Police Officer: Look, Confused, this is what is actually outside

The three step outside

Confused: Oh my, it's, it's, it's....

Police Officer: Yes son, it is

Confused: It's a big hottub, full of people!

Poof: Yes Confused. Do you want to jump in!?

Confused: Yeah, ok! But why couldn't i see anything before?

Poof: It was just a screen to protect what really goes on here

Confused: Ahh, that's clever! Thanks Officer!

Police Officer: No problem, bye

Poof: I'll see you out Officer


Poof shows the Police Officer out, then comes out back once again


Confused: Wow, Poof, now i truly know what's here behind the bushes!

Poof: Yep, you do now! And for being such a neffer, here are some of the babes promised you


Out walks a bevvy of babes, each carrying some beer


Poof: Happy birthday Confused!


-----------------------------



Was originally going to be posted in my birthday thread, but thought more people would see it here!

And yes, if you are wondering, i am VERY bored on this bank holiday Monday afternoon!

I hope this has bought some humour to your Monday! :)

And here I thought you were going to discover that you passed out from seeing Ray in the hottub and that your mind blocked the experience out ;)

The plot is weak, the characterization is atrocius, and it lacks a central theme.

<< where is poof? >>



I don't know! :Q

From what I can tell, the last she posted here or over at ARS is Tuesday, April 30th. I've sent her an email this morning. I hope it's nothing serious, maybe she's on vacation? :Q

It's certainly not like her to miss a thread like this.....

She was talking to me about the problems I had with my Q and my router on Tuesday night (1 week ago) and she mentioned that Comcast did some configuration change and she fell out of sync with them and their DNS servers were acting wacky.

I thought she said she had fixed the problem after wasting a couple of hours in the process.

Maybe, it was "not fixed". I'm sure she'll be back ... eventually. ;)

/then again she may have been scared off by this wacky thread .... naw, not Poof. :)

I got an email from Poof yesterday, she had to go out of town on business for a few days, and she's been extremely busy with family stuff, plus this time of year she's focused on gardening. She hasn't forgot us, and will pop in when she gets a chance. :)

Poof? Who is she? Oh wait, I remember now...


/me hums along and steals Ray's Red Rascal and his cane and does some wacking of his own...

Wait, that didn't sound good...

Oh you know what I mean....
