Alright, alright, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Fennell's Fables. I'm your host, Trey Fennell. Now, let's dive right into the deep end, shall we? -
So, the other day I was watching the news, and I see they're trying to put a man on Mars. A Mars mission, they call it. Now, I don't know about you, but I think that's missing the point. It's like when you have a house on fire, and you're busy worried about the garden gnome in your backyard. "Oh, look at that gnome, it's starting to melt!" -
Meanwhile, your whole house is burning down, and you're sitting there, thinking about how to save the gnome. That's us, right now, trying to save the gnome, when the house - Earth - is on fire. -
And you know what's even funnier? The fact that they're trying to make Mars a "backup planet". Like it's some kind of external hard drive. "Oh, Earth is full? No worries, we've got Mars. It's got plenty of space. Just, you know, ignore the lack of oxygen and sub-zero temperatures". -
We've become so good at messing up, we're even planning for it. We're not trying to prevent it, we're just preparing for the next big mess. But hey, as long as we've got a backup, right? -
I tell ya, the day they start selling real estate on Mars, that's when you know we've hit rock bottom. Imagine the sales pitch, "Beautiful, open-plan living with, uh, breathtaking views of... rocks. Lots and lots of red rocks. Oh, and did I mention the occasional dust storm?" -
Now, don't even get me started on politics. You've got politicians, claiming they're going to "drain the swamp", while they're up to their necks in the mud. It's like watching a bunch of kids playing in a sandbox, except the sand is corruption, and the box is our government. -
What's that saying? "Absolute power corrupts absolutely", right? Well, I'd like to propose a new saying, "Absolute power corrupts, but hey, at least it's entertaining". -
And then there's the news. Oh, the news. It's like a never-ending episode of the Twilight Zone. One moment, they're talking about a cat that can play the piano, the next, it's nuclear war. And I'm sitting there, thinking, "Well, at least the cat's got a backup plan, right?" -
But hey, these are just my observations. You know, the crazy thoughts of a comedian. Or maybe, just maybe, there's a bit of truth in there. A nugget of wisdom, hidden among the laughs. Or maybe not, who knows? -
So, until next time, folks, this is Trey Fennell, signing off. And remember, life is a joke. It's just up to you to find the punchline.
