I Was Abducted By Aliens & All I Got Was This Bar of Soap

The Unblemished Story About Georgia Peaches & Cream Soap

It’s a little known fact, but Georgia Peaches & Cream Soap has an extraterrestrial origin and, yes, I played an integral part as well. My name is Bubba Brunswicker and I was abducted by aliens in a UFO near Cohutta, Georgia 19 years ago.

I knew I had been abducted because, when I left my job at the factory, I headed home in time to catch my favorite television show. Then, I noticed that the time on my watch was 3 hours later than the time I normally get off work and it was too late to see the latest episode of the Golden Girls.

There was a strange smell in the car, but I honestly don’t remember what happened in between. I guess the best description of that smell was walking in a fragrant peach orchard in the springtime as the peach blossoms are blooming. My hands were very clean, not greasy and grimy as they usually are when I get home from work.

On top of all that, I had a piece of paper clutched in my fingers. I unfolded the crumbled piece of paper and I saw that it was a recipe for soap. Well, the rest is history. I sold the recipe to the soap company and now I work as a fragrance tester. My job is more important than before when I used a grinder to take the burrs off the edges of the metal shower curtain rings. Now, I stay a lot cleaner and I’m told I smell better, too.

I guess you could say I was cheated. I mean, why didn’t I ask the aliens to give me the blueprints for making an Ipad or something. But I’m not complaining. When I wear my new t-shirt, it reads: “I was abducted by a UFO and all I got was this t-shirt and a recipe for a bar of soap.”

Thanks Relic. Actually, I wrote that little blurb in response to a contest (of sorts) in which a soap company wanted a short, very unique story to put on the container for their newest soap fragrance. They said they wanted something really unusual and off-the-wall, but I must have been too far off-the-wall because I never heard back from them.

haha, oh well, we can't win them all right. You're welcome.

haha, nice one. I found this quite amusing and well written. I suppose an I-pad would have been more lucrative but at least you smell good.
