“Which planet should we call our home?” extraterrestrial #1 asked his companion.
#2 sighed. “So many choices. How about Mercury? Near the center of the universe and action.”
“Too hot,” said #1 with a frown. “Maybe Jupiter? More mild, and peaceful-looking.”
“But we’d fall through the gaseous land. Earth’s out, due to the wackos there.”
The two looked at each other in dismay, shaking their heads. They’d never find their ideal home.
“Wait! How about Pluto?” #1 smiled. “Off the beaten path, and not even the ‘official planet’ stigma anymore.”
“And plenty of Friday Flash Fiction, too. Off we go!”
