       DOUBLE JUGGLE VEGETABOBBLE

   -THIS IS VEGETABLE JUGGLING 2002-
=======================================
       "GOTTA CATCH THEM BALLS!"
=======================================

"Balls" thought Charlie, feverishly
scratching his scrotum. 

Balls had been a major part of 
Charlie's short but undistinguished 
life. Through his large owl-like 
eyeballs, he had watched, stroked and 
loved many balls of different shapes 
and sizes.

This fascination had begun with the 
unfortunate incident involving the 
tennis ball, the garden gnone and the 
rather athletic lady living next door. 

Pushing his way through the ping pong 
balls that littered his bedroom, 
Charlie moved out in the blinding 
sunlight enveloping his circular living 
room.

"Balls" mumbled Charlie again, and 
stumbled outside. Today was going to be 
the day.

                 O O O

"So you want to be a chef?"

The large hairy man stared at Charlie 
with unimpressed eyes.

"Oui, Naturallment"

Charlie had spent the last three months 
perfecting his French skills in a vain 
attempt to show his credentials as a 
gourmet chef. So far, he had only 
learnt two words.

"Cut the crap, where are the 
sandwiches?" Boomed the fat man.

Nervously, Charlie handed over two limp 
pieces of bread, their measly contents 
barely enough to make a small bump in 
the surface.

"What the hell is this?" Demanded the 
fatman, spitting a mouthful of sandwich 
across his desk.

"It's a vegetaball sandwich .." Charie 
started to explain.

"You're sacked!" roared the fat man.

"But you haven't even hired me yet!"

"Get out!"

                 O O O

It hadn't gone quite according to plan. 
His life was in ruins. There was only 
one solution - run away and join the 
circus.


                 O O O

His shoulders still ached from the 
surgery. He attepted to kick himself, 
but missed. Damn bionic legs. That 
would teach him to enlist in the circus 
run by escaped nuclear physicist and 
nano technician, Doctor Helmut 
"Bumpkins" Haslehoff

"You muzt prove yourself!" Hasselhoff 
had screamed at him.

"Those arms - useless!" The doctor had 
grabbed his elbow "I make new ones. 
Bigger and better, yes?"

"And the legs. Not straight enough! And 
as for this .." at this point the 
eminent doctor had made an obscene 
lunge for the luckless Charlie. That 
was the last he could remember.

Charlie looked around the arnea. Above 
his head, midget acrobats did 
cartwheels along a piece of razor wire, 
whilst making sarcastic comments about 
his hairstyle and farting.

Charlie tried to ignore them, he had a 
job to do.

He closed his eyes and remembered his 
intstructions. Three vegetables, 
enclosed in glass balls quivered in his 
shaking hands. He just had to juggle 
these from now until the end of 
eternity, and Doctor Hasselhoff had 
assured him he would then be considered 
for the job.

He flexed his robotic arms. It wasn't 
going to be easy. But what was?

He tossed the first ball into the air.

Above his head, one of the midget 
acrobats farted theatrically.
