"Don't forget to stop and smell the roses

  • "Don't forget to stop and smell the roses once in a while," my mom said. It's as if she didn't know that inefficiency is a federal crime. I stepped into the teleportation chamber

    3
  • teleported to heaven, gave Jesus a high five and then back home to smack my mom in her face. She said It was my turn to make dinner, so I teleported to Maine for some fresh lobster

    3
  • only to find that the poor creature had been driven to the brink of extinction. I was left with a dilemma: risk arrest by getting Mom some lobster, or try to save the species?

    3
  • I opted for both convincing Mom to order the lobster & keep him as a pet, little knowing how difficult saving the species would be. Larry had a cleft palate & the last lady lobster

  • and kicked Larry to the curb, where Moe and Curly were waiting for him. "You knucklehead!" muttered Moe, "You were supposed to get us into that fancy dive!" "Sorry, Moe," Larry

  • explained, “I told the bouncer I was a friend of Shemp’s, and he said, ‘That bum owes me twenty bucks,’ and then he kicked me.” “Let me do it, Moe,” Curly cried, “I’ll get us in.”

  • When Curly offered to get the Stooges past the bouncer, Larry became, once again, the guy who was not proactive but reactive. “Curly envy” built to a fever pitch inside Larry until

    3
  • the day he died. The doctor declared it a heart attack, due to suspected pent-up Curly envy. After hearing this, Moe got "Curly rage" which, unlike Larry, he let out immediately.
