A List Of Things Less Needed


  1. An amoeba on the cellular level

  2. A flashlight on the sun

  3. The Colorado River at 2:15 am

  4. Thursdays on the moon

  5. Oxygen....Strike that....We need that

  6. Blank checks when full checks are needed

  7. Cucumbers that begin with Q

  8. Copper

  9. The numbers 25 and 43

  10. The capital of Argentina

  11. Virginity and all her cousins

  12. Empty bottles of fluids including whiskey

  13. The number thirteen

  14. The number fourteen but less frequently and less numerically

  15. The capital "I" in Indonesia

  16. Yellow marbles, (the square ones are fine.)

  17. Root canals and guns, (the kind with bullets)

  18. A shorter list of things not needed

  19. Islands in the Pacific surrounded by salt water

  20. Size 12 army boots

  21. Purple colored foods and oranges of a different color

  22. People with a list of things less needed

  23. People with strings attached


Authors note: The author apologies in advance if anyone did not make the list. He is particularly apologetic to the people of Buenos Aires Argentina, especially those who speak Spanish and visit nearby Montevideo Uruguay on weekends. Though they are less needed they are still greatly appreciated.
