Cursing his assistant's absence at the introduction of his revolutionary electric pistol, he strode onto the stage and pulled the wraps off his invention. Pausing briefly to fart,

The professor chewed nervously on the protein bar, knowing full well the seismic effects it would have on his gastrointestinal functions. But who has time to eat full meals when you're caught up in the life or death struggle of the underground super science scene? It had already claimed his assistant, and he wasn't going to go out the same way. Not without pants....

"Professor, can we talk about my grade? I found Truth in Scienotology and I now know that it was wrong to sleep with you to get an A++++ but if I did some extra assignments..." He brushed past the groveling undergrad with nary a word as he strode towards the lecture hall, digging his crumbled, pathetic excuse for lunch out of his pocket and ripping off the wrapper.

Bob knew his ill-advised praise of the rival hydraulic knife concept had all but killed the erotic tension between himself and Prof. Gunderson, not to mention his chances to graduate with a perfect 4.0, but he desperately hoped as he strode into the Prof's office clad only in an iridescent speedo and a conquistador's helmet that this one last mad gambit might work.

Prof. Gunderson fumbled slowly with an alternator sized mouse that had popped out of his air conditioner, when he was met with an interesting surprise from one of his lesser students.

It had already claimed his assistant, and he wasn't going to go out the same way. Not without pants....

Finally, in a frantic tug, the professor managed to close his trunk. He'd never had a problem like this with it before. But then again, he was usually only storing one dead hooker. When the number increased to seven, he was finding that limbs had to be broken, body cavaties kicked in, and even then it was a tight fit. Feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders, he pulled his mundane sedan into his garage, went directly upstairs without removing his bloody loafers, and shot himself up with the heroin his brain had long since been able to function without.

Waking refreshed the next day, he headed of to the lab without a second thought to the contents of his trunk.

"Why get one seventy-dollar hooker when you can get seven ten-dollar hookers" the professor said mockingly to himself as he surveyed the grisley scene. His assistant was still slumped in the corner sans head and pants. Poor basterd didnt have a chance when Jizzabelle found out just what the prefessors invention could do.

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

With a sigh, he resigned himself to the unglamorous task of cleaning up the classroom. The principal was not going to be happy about this.

Snubbed by the geekily cheap academic solely on price, the eight dollar hooker leaped several paragraphs ahead in time and snuffed the very life out of this alternative story line.

Her revenge was utter and complete.

With a last frantic perusal of the letter from his hero, Tom Cruise, and a silent prayer to Xenon to increase his operating Thetan level, Bob took a deep breath.

With a sigh, he resigned himself to the unglamorous task of cleaning up the classroom. The principal was not going to be happy about this.

The Principal stood silently for a few minutes after dismissing the Professor and his ward. Their task had been assigned, and they knew better than to disappoint the Principal. After all, that was how the last "assistant" met his end.

"And to think, THEY said THIS wasn't science..." the Principal said quietly to himself as he strode to the locked cabinet in the corner. Moments later, the "special" box was out of the cabinet and on his desk, where it stood open. A noxious glow from the box painted shadows along his face, turning his perverted grin into a sneer.

In the parking lot, the professor and his assistant sat in the professors 1998 malibu, snorting unhealthy amounts of cocaine. "line me up one more, and then we gotta, you know we cant be late when it comes to the principal" the professor said in a haze. "ya ya", responded the assistant, "im well aware of that. And besides, I'm sure $70 will be more than enough" Soon after, the malibu pulled from the parking lot, heading towards the south side of town.

He walked out of the Radio Shack and finally opened the letter he'd pulled out of the university mailbox hours ago. His heart pounded as he caught the signature. Tom Cruise. THE Tom Cruise. Skimming the letter, one line in particular caught his eye.

"Suprise buttsecks huh?" he said to himself, incredulously, "Looks like I'm in Tom's debt...again". But why the double cross? What did Tom Cruise, of all people, have to gain from the demise of a lowly TA? Something was wrong here, and he was determined to come out on top this time.

Meanwhile next door, Bob climbed down from the seat of his tired old ten-speed, cursing last night's decision to put off laundry for another day. He strode into the store, catching an awkward glance from the clerk, to buy those circuits the professor kept asking for. The mouse stuffed in his speedo shifted wrestlessly.

He walked out of the Radio Shack and finally opened the letter he'd pulled out of the university mailbox hours ago. His heart pounded as he caught the signature. Tom Cruise. THE Tom Cruise. Skimming the letter, one line in particular caught his eye.

Two hours before, he had tried to drown his deepening sorrows the only way he knew how, with seven Taco Bell bean burritos drenched in 10 packets of fire sauce each and several 40's of his favorite, Shitz Laxative Fortified Malt Liquor.

It had always been a bad idea, but Bob was a slow learner. He had hoped the $18,000 he had spent on Scientology courses would have helped, but now he just wasn't sure.

The ominous rumblings in his belly meant that he only had time to grab his mail before hopping on his riced-up Segway and speeding across town to the RatShack, the only establishment in this entire University enclave overrun with grossly unhousebroken Philosophy majors that still sported a reasonably clean toilet. It was going to be one close call, but years of Zen sphincter control gave him confidence he could make it.

Edit: (see post above) But what about Bob's evil clone Bob (spelled backwards) and that ratty ten speed he moseyed about on? Was teaching him to mimic Tom Cruise's handwriting a mistake? Was he secretly in league with Prof. Gunderson? Only time would tell.

He strode into the store, catching an awkward glance from the clerk, to buy those circuits the professor kept asking for. The mouse stuffed in his speedo shifted wrestlessly.

"Who could that be?" grumbled the professor, getting up from his workbench. As he reached for the doorknob, the door flew open with a crash, barely missing the mini-nuke "extra" security device he had rigged up.

A masked man stormed in. The professor, alarmed, flew for his workbench. He covered the electric pistol and grabbed his gerbil inseminator and pointed it straight at the intruder's heart. "Who are you?!"

The masked man growled, "Nobody. I only came to bring you this." He threw a letter down at the professor's feet. Instantly he was gone.

The professor slowly reached for the letter and examined the contents.
