BANAL INTERVIEWS WITH CELEBRITY GHOSTS – HERMAN MELVILLE
June 29, 2014
Loon: This week the Lords of the 4th Dimension have brought the ghost of Herman Melville to undergo our 3 question interview. Mr. Melville, could you tell us what it’s like to ride a whale?
Melville’s ghost: I’d rather not.
Loon: No? Okay. Then would you mind telling us how to make perfume out of a whale?
Melville’s ghost: I’d prefer not to do that.
Loon: Oh. In that case, maybe I should try something simpler. If you had your life to live over again, would you?
Melville’s ghost: Weighing the advantages and the disadvantages, I don’t want to answer that question. (folds into a hidden dimension)
Loon: Well, I tried. I guess we’ll just have to imagine what it’s like to eat whale tongue and things.
