Jake No-Bum
Once upon a time there was a young man named Jake who
had no bum. I don't know if he enjoyed his life -- how
did he sit down? -- but he was very annoying. He also
had the ability to suddenly appear in front of you.
But he didn't have a bum.
One day I wondered how Jake could poop without a bum.
Then I decided that he was so full of shit he wouldn't
need one. It would just ooze out of him, slick and wet,
and he would leave a trail of it wherever he went. Sometimes
he would just appear in front of someone and the stuff
would flow out of him unbidden. The person he was talking
to would scream and run or try to stuff toilet paper
in his mouth or put a diaper on his face, and they would
hold their nose because of the stench. Jake never seemed
to mind the smell because, after all, one gets used
to the smell of one's own shit, doesn't one?
Jake never thought anything about his problem -- he
thought it was as normal as putting ketchup on his eggs.
But we all knew he was possessed by Satan.
