I'm not sure why but every time I read this, I get the giggles:
WANTED:
Somebody to go back in time with me.
This is not a joke.
P.O. Box 322, Oakview, CA 93022.
You'll get paid after we get back.
Must bring your own weapons.
Safety not guaranteed.
I have only done this once before.
Tell me you are not laughing right now! That is the funniest thing I have ever read in my life. Who is this guy? Was Doc Brown able to secure more plutonium and repair the flux capacitor but the studios decided not to option another sequel (Thank God) so he was reduced to placing an ad in the Penny Saver?
This is a real ad. Someone paid money for this. What really fascinates me is that this person is serious. He honestly believes he has visited the past. Who am I to say he hasn't? I believe in ghosts & extra terrestrials, so why not time travel? I wish I knew when this ad appeared. I am thinking about sending a note to the P.O. Box. I need a vacation and can always use a little extra money. It's a paying gig. Says so right in the ad. How much money does a voyager make? Will he pay me wages based on today's cost of living or based on the year we visit? This could be a determining factor. I don't want to be paid in soap shavings or potatoes!
What sort of weapons do you think I would need to take with me? Since we are going to visit the past, anything I bring will already be more advanced than the weapons of yesteryear. Already I feel as though our side is winning. Wait? Who are we fighting? Because in addition to the suggestion that I bear arms the ad clearly states that my safety is not guaranteed.
What did this guy do last time he leaped through the worm hole? Who did he piss off?
Bill and Ted had an Excellent Adventure! Why do I have to go with a guy who may or may not be a catalyst for a war. Or maybe he already was.
Clearly, I need more information about my travel companion to make an informed decision. I don't want to be associated with anyone who shows up and wreaks havoc among the masses only to disappear back into today.
That's just bad manners!
I have to now ponder all the questions that come to mind when I consider time travel:
What if I traveled back in time? Where would I go? Would I change anything about my life? Would I still be me? Would I want to come back or just relive my life over? Would I want to know the same people I know now? Would I feel the need to post random deeps thoughts on a blog?
Crap! All those questions really make my head hurt.
I refuse to answer on the grounds that I already answered them when I visited 2017 yesterday so you won't know my responses for another 7.5 years.
See ya then again, tomorrow, yesterday !!!
