Re: Extremely Short Stories for those of you with Extremely Short Attention Spans

Jason was a bit of a genius but he had one debilitating defect. He was born without thumbs. Because of this he was a social networking outcast because he couldn't text message or twitter.

Jason went into his laboratory and invented a device that could recognize his voice and convert his words into text. He was so proud of himself. He brought his invention to Ella Sue. Ella Sue was sad because she was blind and couldn't use the new device.

Jason went back into his lab and modified his texting machine so that the text on the receiving end was converted back into a voice. He liked his new machine but the voice didn't sound like him, so he perfected the machine so that the text was converted into a voice that sounded like the sender.

Jason took his invention outside and showed his friends. His friends laughed at him and said, "Jason, you idiot, you just invented the telephone!"

Jason was incensed, "Oh yeah! It's always the same thing. Pick on the guy with no thumbs!"

The End.
