Mack Goes Green

Thanks to Mack Hall for letting me post his humor.

How's That Green Workin' Out For Ya?

Cuthbert strolled into his neighborhood GaiaFirst Collective People's Earth Cooperative.

"How can I help you, sir?" asked a young woman wearing her prize collection of piercings, only one of which was still slightly pustulant.

"I'm thinking of starting a small garden in my back yard," said Cuthbert.

"Going green, are you?" asked the young woman, whose name tag read "How Can I Help You My Name is Heathyr."

"Oh, I hope not!" exclaimed Cuthbert, examining the backs of his hands just to be sure. "Though I did work for B.P."

"B.P.!?" exclaimed Heathyr. "You worked for that evil, wicked, polluting multi-national oil company?"

"Nah, I was twenty years with Bob's Pies," replied Cuthbert. "Got a little crazy with the food coloring sometimes."

"Ahem. Right. With what can I help you?" Heathyr said "With what can I help you?" instead of "What can I help you with?" because she was an English major although she had once considered being a Portuguese lieutenant.

"Well, I need a shovel, rake, and hoe."

"Oh, sir, I'm so happy that you are going to hand-work your garden instead of pillaging the planet with a polluting tractor or other power machinery. That shows you love Mother Earth!"

"No, it shows that I have a really small back yard."

"Ahem. Well, yes, now here is our selection of lovely shovels."

"But they're all made in China."

"Yes, but they're hand-crafted by ethnic Tibetan tribespersons who are one with, like, y'know, nature, and, like, stuff. These are fair-trade shovels."

"At these prices I wonder who gets the fair? All right, since I have no choice. Same for the rake and hoe, I suppose?"

"We do feature a lovely rake, the Beau Brummel model, with a fake English name but really made of recycled bicycles by other-abled midgets in India."

"Okay, and a hoe. Now for some tomato seedlings."

"Yes, sir," said Heathyr. "For our climate I'd recommend Obedient Boy or Early MS."

"I've heard of Big Boy and Early Girl – are these new varieties?"

"We have renamed our tomatoes CORRECTLY," sniffed Heathyr.

"Um, okay, twelve of each. And some sweet corn."

"Ah! Here we have organic corn seeds of the original plants grown by the all-natural First Nations Native Americans Indigenous Peoples."

"You mean Indians?"

"SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You can't SAY that, sir!"

"Why do these seed packets have pictures of Che Guevara on them?"

"That's because our beloved Che was, like, y'know, one with The People, and, like, y'know, organic and stuff."
