“Daddy, why is it leaning?”

“Ah, son, that’s because when the aliens borrowed it for study they didn’t put it back straight.”

“Frank! Stop filling the kid’s head full of nonsense!”

Meanwhile, in orbit…

“Helmsman K’Charg, look at it! It’s on the piss! What does the Prime Directive say? Hmm? Hmm?”

“Umm, after borrowing an alien artefact for study, put it back the way you found it?”

“Exactly!”

“I think we’ll have trouble with that human specimen, then. I removed its head to look inside but when I glued it back on it wasn’t working anymore.”

“Oh, K’Charg, you idiot!”

“Hahaha!”

“Hahaha!”

    They put it back in the right place, and almost straight. Good enough I say!

    K’Charg is a comedian 🤣 People are literally losing their heads over his comedy routine 😁

    I don’t see a leaning tower in that picture. It looks like the ground is leaning. Of course, the aliens already know this because they can see from their ship that the earth is flat and sloped…

    Dear Ali,

    Too bad they didn’t have a set of directions. On the other hand, send them to the Kremlin.

    Shalom,

      Dear Rochelle,
      Yes – I bet there would be a few parties if a certain dictator came back with his head glued on backwards…

    K’Charg must be the most incompetent alien scientist in the universe. I feel safe if they are all like him. Mind you, I will avoid being picked up since I do need my head.

    There’s a comedian on every alien spaceship. I heard a rumour that Helmsman K’Charg is related to the Vogons, but they disowned him because he couldn’t write poetry and decided to go into science.

      That’s right, he’s one-quarter Vogon on his mother’s side 🙂

    Ha. Good story. They’re both laughing at the end. They might decide it’s such fun to mess with our heads they’ll rewrite the ‘Prime Directive’. Or maybe they already have. 🤔

    What all explanation is given by parents!

    Many things keep happening.
    We don’t know whether aliens are behind them!

      Aliens are always an easy explanation. Just not necessarily correct 🙂

    Maybe the human head stopped working because the alien didn’t glue it back straight. 😀
