IS THERE LIFE ON MARS? (Goldfarb cont')

Life had always been pleasant for Xrilntal, last of the Martian Eirlnds.

With the exception of being totally alone Xrilntal was quite happy.

Xrilntal was not exactly the last Eirlnd because he was in charge of the regeneration chambers.

Once the danger from space past, in some 2354 years, he would repopulate all life on Mars.

Did I mention that all Eirlnds had very long life spans and very fragile exoskeletons and Xrilntal was immune to the coming cosmic storm?

Too bad that Xrilntal did not see the void opened above him.

Death by Goldfarb.

That should answer the question.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

A and B sat at the breakfast table enjoying coffee and muffins while reading the morning papers.

"They're so full of it," B said.

"What's that?" A said.

"Why do you subscribe to this rag? It's nothing but junk food for the brain."

"Mr. Grumpy Face. You're too serious."

B poured himself another cup of coffee. "If there really was life on another planet why haven't they contacted us?"

"They've made attempts."

"UFOs? Alien abductions? Bah!"

"Better watch it," A said, "they may be coming for you next."

B scoffed as A read the headline: "Alien Life Found On Earth".

As we neared Mars, the Milky Way glowed like ten million candles in the sky.

My crewmen, Matt and Mark, ("The M&M Team") both looked a little hungry.

"Care for a TWIX?" I asked.

"No thanks," they replied, "The Scittlesbut is that TWIX can cause you to break out in uncontrollable Snickers."

"My Uncle Ben said that they made his Whiskas fall out," said Mark.

After we landed, I grabbed a Bounty and swept the candy wrappers from the cabin out onto the surface, making me the first Martian litterer.

Even on Mars, the tourists just seem to ruin everything.

LIFE IS ONE CONTINUOUS ASTERIOD SHOWER

I had a stepson once during my second marriage. We seldom talked about anything other than how I wasn't his Dad, would never be his Dad, etc.

The only discussion we ever had was after that marriage turned crazy and I was officially seeing another woman.

"Mr. Waspsteiner said we don't possess a weapon to blow up Mars," he said, home from school. "I bet you a million dollars there's a planet out there that could blow us up if they wanted to."

"Doubtful or they would've done it already," I replied.

"Maybe it's still on its way," he said.
