Heaven - The Do-Over Dept.

"Excuse me, sir. I've just arrived, and was told this is

"Moon Unit. My, albeit well-meaning, parents dis--"
~
"Request Granted! ...Next in line please."
~
" ...Thank you, sir! Thank you! But, I haven't yet given you my reas--"
~
"No child should start life with that handle, ma'am. Granted. Next."

my career dream, and I lived a life of abject failure, died penniless and homeless."
~
That's what parents are for! Request Denied! ...But, I'm curious. What did they advise you to be?"
~
"A Street Mime. My dream was to be an Accountant."
~
"Request Granted! Next."
