It's really quite a nice change from all of the concerning stories here on ATS. I never laughed so hard when Oprah got involved. Boy was that funny.

I'm not quite sure if you wrote this or not, but I can't assume anything. I will however e-mail this link to my friends.

Thanks, Someone really needs to track down those auto warranty calls. Definitely a brilliant work of satire.

HAHA...this was hilarious. Awesome job!

I used to get those freakin calls all the time. I would always just hang up. One day i stayed on the line and listened and it gives you the option to not receive the calls anymore. You just press 2 i think. Havent had a call from em since.

Excellent story! I laughed quite a bit as well.

I'm almost glad my story isn't eligible after reading that.

S&F!

Definitely enjoyed the quip about being the President in Earth's final hour being the first to respond to one of the vehicle warranty calls!

Sad thing is many of the alluded things in the story, although fictitious and humorous in nature, in todays world aren't too farfetched...

Sheer and unequivocal brilliance! You have made my day so much brighter with your dry sense of peculiar humor and astounding wit. I have to admit that is one for the books and should be published asap.
Congratulations and

Thanks for pointing that out, Masqua. Somehow I never noticed that before, but now that I see it I'm glad it's there!

It IS good, isn't it?

It certainly makes me feel better when I do something creative too. As both a visual artist (painter) and a writer, I have no qualms about posting anything, whether it is a story or a photo of one of my paintings.

If someone were to try to make it out to be their own, especially online, it won't be hard to find.

That is the dumbest thread I have ever read.

The Earth stops its rotation.

Then why do we still have a morning, afternoon and night.

That is so stupid I think I am going to throw up

Of all the inane and mind numbing crap I have read in here. I finally come across something COMPLETELY and HORRIBLY needed. This was the funniest dam** piece I have ever come across in such a "TAKE ME SERIOUSLY NOW" site. Everyone in here, myself included has that hell bent "I AM POLICY" attitude. You have stepped aside this and stomped on it all together with something light hearted witty, intelligent, well thought and VERY BLOODY FUNNY!!
Thank you mate.. Thank you VERY much for this. Well worth reading.
Kudos, cheers, daps, and a high five!

I would recommend you read Philip Jose Farmer's series Riverworld. A science fiction thriller set within a gigantic ring-shaped spaceship, producing gravity by the flow of a giant river and populated by some of the greatest characters in human history.

Flatwoods story reminded me of the 5-book series.

Amazing read. Thank you Flatwoods!

Great writing my friend. I needed a good laugh in these grim times we're in. I pictured in my head the moon blowing up and the chaos that followed. It's stories like these that let me escape from reality. It was a really good read. Well done!

But would you really laugh if the moon blew up? Is it only funny if it's fictional? Is it fictional? Or does it represent something real? Great writers will use humorous comparisons to captivate an audience while sharing an honest belief.

As another poster stated, the story was phenomenal, but I didn't laugh a whole lot. Everybody is treating this as if it were comedy. Was it?
