This morning..

"You've been elected to enter the alternate universe. Who would you like to be?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you dumb?"

"I don't think so. Are you looking for dumb people for the alternate universe?"

"I'm beginning to wonder. They've sent me to see who you would like to be."

"Who is "they" and why do I need to be someone else?"

'The rulers, of course. You want to go to the alternate universe as yourself?"

"I don't know. Can I be a ruler?"

"You are dumb. There are enough rulers. You can be anyone else."

"What if I don't want to go? I have no idea what's there. What if I hate it?"

"Most everyone hates it. But you've been elected and now you have to go. Pick someone to be."

"Will I come back?"

"Some try. I don't suggest it."

"I don't want to. This isn't great but I don't think most everyone hates it. It must be awful over there."

"You're mistaken. It's lovely. It's perfect."

"But you said ..."

"That's what's so perfect about it. You can say and mean anything. Now PICK SOMEONE TO BE!"

"No. Now stop yelling. If I don't pick anyone, I don't have to go?"

"You're annoying me. You've been elected. You have to go. There is only one other choice."

"Maybe I'll pick that. What is it?"

"Neither."
