Jack Noodle


by Chad Smith


you'll do fine, just picture them naked

no wait

 

that was supposed to be for speeches, not job interviews

uh oh, too late

 

everyone is naked

VERY good to meet you

 

I chuckled every time I got an email from Mr. Noodle

my three-year-old daughter loves Mr. Noodle

 

Huh? yeah, oh that's funny

is that a cartoon character?

 

No he's just a guy, live action

you know, kid's stuff

 

So you printed your resume on this coffee cup

that's something

 

I wanted you guys to think about me every morning

while you were getting your coffee

 

It says on the coffee mug that your last job

was nine months ago?

 

Yeah, I wrote poetry, looked at the internet, listened to music

watched movies, read books, drank beer

 

Never napped but thought about it

So you were fired?

 

No laid off. work dried up

you know this economy is killing everything

 

What sort of job are you looking for?

I guess mostly I am tired of working for a paycheck

 

What, so you want to work for free?

No I want to work for love

 

You probably don't want to work here then

Not really
