Having finished yesterday with the FTI Road trip to New York City, I was not entirely sure of what was to greet me upon my return here to FTI. Thankfully, nothing too extreme demanded my immediate attention, nor, were there any messages from our local bail bondsman requesting payment for any infractions. I will discuss some of the adventures in New York in later posts, but, do wish to point out one of the reasons our work here remains unfinished.
The one (and only) simple assignment I left the Misfits was to have each of them develop a simple unique thought of their own, test it with our fully restored Factorcrap Truthometer Deluxe, and then perform it to verify it's actual worth in real life. Here's what a week's worth of effort produced:
Gummo, the Balloon Boy: For high blood pressure sufferers-simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.
Rat Bastard G: Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetable while you chop.
Slateface: If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you will be afraid to cough.
Marv the Neighbor: If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
Supposedly, each of these sure-to-be-recognized-in-the-future pieces of wisdom was both actually performed and later confirmed by our own Truthometer Deluxe. This was not how I envisioned our fully restored Ebay castoff to be utilized during my absence as I restored it for more important validation queries. I guess I should be happy as it does confirm what I have thought all along: these guys are idiots.
