"Dood?" croaked the professor.

Dood stood up. "Boot a year go, I was travlin to Wisconsin, t'see me aunt, she's gettin on in years y'know, and me car ran oot. Jus stopped. What could I do in t'middla nowhere? So I got out'n walked. You wouldna believe how sore me feet ..."

"ARK" croaked the professor, interrupting. [Why are you telling me this?] she posted.

"Thinka the trouble I coulda saved wit an extended warranty!" said Dood.

"An extended warranty woudna cover runnin oota power," said Yomamma. "Tisna warranty stuff. Tis user error." There were snorts.

[Omigaw!] posted the professor.

"I doona think thatsa point?" said Omigaw. "t'story, tis little bugs, scam calls, about extended warranty? he ignores t'little bugs? then a big disaster hits, t'men in black kidnap him? because he ignored t'little bugs? then t'big disaster is really t'little bug remindin him aboot his extended warranty agin? tis humor?"

"kkkkk" said professor McCaw, a hollow happy rattle, [very good] she posted. She fluffed her black feathers.

[Extended warranties, they be serious business] chatted Dood to Yomamma. Yomamma pretended not to have noticed.

Friggin scribbled careful notes: EXTENDED WARRANTY HUMOR. She underlined it. It might be on the test.


This was a response to a story that was a response to a prompt on reddit: "You've ben getting alot of 'Scam Likely' calls lately, You've ben brushing them aside like usual, it's only now you realize they weren't scams. They were a warning, but it's too late now. They are already at your door."
