Poor Boys Blimp

             There once was a little boy that grew up in the Brooklyn projects. He was
             extremely poor. Some how he managed to have some of the better things of life like a
             treadmill and an obsolete computer from the 80's. His life long dream was to own a $650
             Lead Zeppelin remote controlled blimp. He asked his parents every year for six years if
             he could have it and every time they would say no they couldn't afford it. So on the boys
             fourteenth birthday he went and applied for a job at the local Nathaniel's. After talking to
             the manager Steve and getting the job he ran home and told his parents that he started the
             job tomorrow. The next day the when he got to work he looked around and noticed Steve
             was gone. He asked another worker where Steve was. The worker responded he was fired
             for being too stupid. The boy laughed and returned back to work. After weeks of hard
             work he finally made $600 of the $650 he needed for the blimp. On his way home one
             day he noticed a new store. He read the stores name "Iraqi Pete Discount plutonium and
             models". So only being human he walked in to look around. The moment he walked in he was
             surrounded be a green glow that was so bright it would put a helicopter's searchlights to
             shame. After his eyes adjusted to the glow he saw the storeowner eating pineapples and
             watching TV in black and white. The owner of the store heard the door shut and went to
             the boy and said hello. The boy being polite said hello as well. The owner asked if there
             was a certain item he was looking for. The boy asked if he had a Led Zeppelin remote
             control blimp. The man said yes we do right there in the corner. So the boy thanked him
             and walked to the corner and his eyes lit up brighter than the radiation from the
             plutonium. It was the blimp for $600 tax-free. The boy asked if the blimp was really $600
