Smell of Rainbows
What does the air smell like when a person drives through the end of a rainbow?
———- from Larry Widell of Columbus OH.
Obviously, it smells like the breakfast cereal “Lucky Charms.” – those rich artificial flavors and colors we’ve all become so used to thanks to Better Living Through Chemistry. Of course, the leprechauns that manufacture these chemical additives long ago mutated from what we all pictured. Now these Irish chemist trolls bear a strong resemblance to…your modern day graduate student. A perpetual smug, self-satisfied smirk combined with a holier-than-thou attitude, all worn by some guy who deep down knows he’s stuck in a dead end job. After you’ve made one gaudy rainbow, anyway, what’s the point in going on? That’s what you’ll hear from these gloomy Gaelic Gus’s, day in and day out. So the next time you see a rainbow, thank your lucky charms you’re not a clinically depressed fairy flunky.
