Time Tube Comedy Hour
by Bill Schott
Officers Milo and Otis awaited the Time Tube Arrivals from the past.
“There are two brothers coming from the 2020s,” said Milo.
“I hear they’re twins,” said Otis.
“One is an undercover police officer and the other a felonious comedian.”
The Time Tube lights went on and two men appeared at the portal. One was unconscious with the other kneeled over him.
“Which brother are you?” shouted Otis to the conscious traveler.
“I’m Officer Zac. This is my criminal brother Mak.”
“What’s that smell?” asked Milo.
“Naphthalene. Have you smelled mothballs?”
“Yes.”
“Ha ha! How’d you get their legs apart ?!”
