How To: Buy a Llama
You'll need:
- A radio
- A lot of chutzpah
OK then! Let's get started.
- Hold your breath for as long as you can.
- You look ridiculous.
- Once out of breath, try it again. I'm sure you can beat your old record!
- Longer!
- Upon waking up, realize you are no longer clothed.
- Search in vain for your missing clothing.
- Wander around totally naked, eventually ending up in a market.
- Ask, "Does anyone have a llama I can buy?" to no one in particular.
- Become enraged when no one responds, threatening, "I'll buy a llama one way or another. I don't care how I have to do it."
- Flee when police arrive.
- Scramble on all fours to the woods, eluding the authorities.
- Become one with the forest, forsaking all material possessions.
- Commune with the forest god.
- Realize they are a bit of a dummy.
- Return to civilization, never speaking of your time in the forest.
- Roughly a 50/50 chance you go crazy hiding your secret, and begin building a rocket in your backyard.
- Declare to neighbors, routinely, that, "The secrets of the stars are the key to the future!" and avoid their judging gaze.
- Continue to tinker with the rocket. You should probably add more engines.
- Around this point you will lose custody of your children.
- Become extremely relieved about that fact.
- Let's light up that rocket, baby!
- Awaken, singed, somewhere nearby.
- Do you still have your limbs?
- If YES to 23, continue to 25, If NO, well, this one is on me. I'll getcha back, man!
- Congrats! You are a rocketeer!
- Sell your story to a local newspaper for $400, making up most of it and embellishing the rest.
- Purchase a Llama.
