I don't have asthma here. Before I arrived, I couldn't have swum ten laps around the pool without running out of air. But now, I'm like the guy in Waterworld. "Dry land is not a myth!" I have gills, so I don't need to hold my breath at all when I'm swimming. I can even sleep in the bottom of a pool if I want to.
I tried out my gills at the olympic sized swimming pool behind Joel's house. Who is Joel? I don't know. It says `Joel Straight' on the outside, but I'm not sure who he is. He might arrive sometime or another. Well, at any rate, he's got a cool house. Two giant waterslides and a diving board go right out the back side of his bedroom. The living room has shag carpeting about a foot thick, and every room has glow in the dark paint splattered on the ceiling so you see stars when the lights are out. A lot of buildings in heaven don't have a roof because the weather is always nice. But Joel must like that glow in the dark paint. There's also a five foot tall Mogwaii (you know, like in the movie, Gremlins) who acts as sort of a bus boy. Surrounding the house is also a giant tube system where a dolphin constantly swims. It's sort of like a big hampster tube for the dolphin. The dolphin can talk. It says its name is Darwin Flipper. Because of this, I asked it about evolution. The dolphin said, "evolution by large jumps is impossible."
