    Qualified Applicants
    By
    Jake Bible

    The red-faced man glanced down at the resume, quite confused.

    “You’re…applying now?” the red-faced man asked.

    “Yes,” the applicant replied. “Is there a problem?”

    “No, no, it’s just…” The red-faced man searched for the words. “Most of our positions are filled after someone comes here…involuntarily.”

    “I wanted to get ahead of the queue. I’m well qualified.”

    “Oh, I see that. But, since you are not deceased, we cannot hire you.”

    “How unfortunate. You’ll keep my resume on file?”

    “Of course. Hell always needs qualified applicants to fill our demon quota.”

    “I appreciate it.”

    “Our pleasure.”

    Cheers!

    Work With That
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Dance, little imp! DANCE!” the Man in the Hood shouted at the creature trapped within the circle of salt.

    “Not an imp,” the creature muttered under its breath as it began to hop back and forth from one foot to the other. “I’m a bugbear.”

    The Man in the Hood raised a silver staff above his head, but paused halfway. “Say what now?”

    “What?” the creature asked.

    “You’re not an imp?”

    “No, I’m a bugbear. Like a hobgoblin. I eat kids.”

    “I need an imp.”

    “You called a bugbear.”

    “Shit… Eat kids, huh?”

    “Yep.”

    “I can probably work with that.”

    Domestic Bliss

    Jake Bible

    Enter a world where the inhabitants are completely unaware that every second of the day they are being watched! Join us now for tonight’s spectacle that is: Domestic Bliss!

    “Lawrence? Have you seen the tape measure? It should be in the little tool box under the stairs,” Marge called.

    Lawrence set his mug down, the coffee untouched. “It’s in there, Donna.”

    “Where? It isn’t in here!”

    Lawrence sighed and stood up. Once again he’d have to find the tape measure.

    Thus ends tonight’s episode of: Domestic Bliss! Tune in tomorrow when we see if Donna ever finds the tape measure!

    To Your Left
    By
    Jake Bible

    “The peg to your left. Your left. To your left, Carl. YOUR LEFT!”

    “This one?”

    “Is that to your left?”

    “No. This is my…right?”

    “Yes, Carl, that’s your right. Which would make that peg the…?”

    “Yellow peg?”

    “The wrong peg! It’s the wrong peg, Carl! What happens if you pull out the wrong peg?”

    “The temple collapses.”

    “And what happens when the temple collapses?”

    “We’re crushed?”

    “If we’re lucky, yes, but what really happens is the ruins fill with swamp water and we drown.”

    “I’d rather be crushed.”

    “Wouldn’t we all.”

    “So this peg?”

    “No, Carl! To your left!”
