Two Ordinary Slobs Episode 6
Rob and Anna, were parked atop of lookout hill
a ridge on the outskirts of town, with a great view of the city
it was fun watching the traffic patterns
and how the lights were timed, especially on a quiet Sunday morning
when the streets weren't busy, far from the weekday nitty gritty
and sometimes they could see trouble brewing
before the news came over their two way radios
and wouldn't you know, a crowd was gathering by the midtown bridge
Taking out their binoculars, Anna said look Rob, I think we have a jumper
call it in, and let's be on our way, let's hope a pray it's not another tragic day
Rob and Anna were first on the scene, and noticed the man had a suit and tie
one of the spectators yelled that's my boss, please don't let him die
Rob grabbed a megaphone and said hello up there, can I be of assisstance
while Anna pumped Johnathan the man who yelled, for more imformation
Stay calm said Rob, whatever it is that's troubling you, isn't worth this
please just think about your loved ones, and how much pain this will cause
Anna found out the man was the owner of brontosauris fuels
and contacted his wife, who while in a state of shock, said
her Husband Jack, was extremely conlicted and felt very guilty
about how gasoline prices consistently go up, regardless of how
poor the economy was, the whole price indexing scam,
made him feel like his whole world was a sham
Rob told Jack, they had contacted his wife and she was on her way
meanwhile Anna learned that Jack had volunteered for Greenpeace
straight out of college, and it was his intent to save the planet, and
not contribute to its downfall, Jack was certainly in odds with himself
at the same time that Jacks wife Marla arrived, so did the hellicopters
the hellicopters, nine of them, formed a giant triangle
each thirty yards apart in altitude and side by side spacing
the copters all dropped nets, that would stretch across
the midsection of the bridge, forming a row on nets
to catch Jack should he decide to jump, all in all
a delicate operation. so much amazing precision is needed
to pull this off, and our hellicopter captains were trained and ready
to hold the ships steady, regardless of weather conditions
and it was in fact getting windy....
Rob said to Jack, you're looking stout today
I don't think you've missed any meals lately
and Jack said what the hell are you talking about
Rob continued, I bet you have a pretty penny in the bank
Jack was like how's that any of your business
Rob said not my business at all, but perhaps
it could be your new business, My new what
well Jack, instead of taking the easy way out
why not use your money to do something positive
Like what, like what, what are you talking about
Rob said why not open up an alternative energy plant
Jack said what about my oil business, Rob laughed what oil business
two seconds ago you ready to give it all up
Jack for the first time smiled, you know what
I can't argue with that logic.....
Jack climbed back onto solid ground
and fell into the waiting arms of his loving wife
tears in both their eyes, the beginning of a new life....
just another day on the job
for two ordinary slobs
