"Welcome to Bizarro World, friends my! I am Zontar."
"Thanks, Zontar. Gee, this place is odd!”
"How so odd is?"
"Trees grow upside down, the sky is green and the grass is
blue, and Donald Trump is a pleasure to be around."
"Normal seem to us, friends my!"
"And then there's the height of the doors. How do you get
into your houses?"
“Into your houses get? Why? No one into their houses
get.”
"Well, where do you sleep? How do you keep warm?"
“Sleep in
street. Freezing cold year most of. Most
brilliant leaders never been solve able to.”
“Well, Zontar, friend ours: Looks like we picked the right planet to
invade after all!”

At first I toyed with the idea that the door 15 feet above the ground was installed by skilled Jewish craft persons, but I finally decided not to pick on my own people in favor of picking on the residents of the mythical Bizarro World in this, my weekly Friday Fictioneers story in response to the picture prompt above.
I can't wait to see what other explanations the other Friday Fictioneers have for the incredible door from up on high, and you can see them too by clicking here.
See you in Bizarro World, friends my!

LOL..".Donald Trump a pleasure to be around" was too funny!
Donald Trump is a pleasure to be around Next time you need a disclaimer - "Do not drink coffee while reading" because my key board is a mess. Thanks for a good laugh, Perry.
Thanks, I figured once I got that joke in I could dog it the rest of the way.
Thanks, Alicia. Maybe I'll put that disclaimer on all my writing. What do you mean, "don't get carried away!!?"
Bizarro World sounds like there would be lots of photo ops there. I think I might like to visit. i'm pretty sure I don't want to love there.
Sounds like quite a place! It'll on the tourist trail in no time now you've drawn attention to it!
The legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, lives on this planet. I would not invade if I were you. Look what happen to Donald Trump. Ridiculous hair piece, he now must wear.
Dear Perry, Awesome story and so flippin funny! You rock Perry! Nan :)
Yeah, I'm not sure I want to live anywhere where the trees are upside down and Donald Trump is considered a nice guy either.
I hope you're making your reservations now. Say hello to the new Las Vegas!
Yes, but if even Donald Trump is nice on this planet, everybody else must be like Tom Hanks. How can we pass that up, Obi-wan?
Thanks, Nan! Not only that, I can flip and rock at the same time!
It reminded me of a cartoon I once saw of two lovers with the caption "Wife my me understand doesn't."
Clever.
:) Nice one Perry.
Thanks, Sandra.
Bizarros no doubt. Thanks!
Dear Zontar,
What about the Bizarro women? Are they as nice as Donald Trump too?
So instead of picking on the Jews, you pick some poor race in some godforsaken part of the universe and then you're going to invade them.
Daunting, execrable, stygian, and malodorus.
Take that, you bully!
They are all hot, especially the ones who look like Senator Mitch McConnell.
Wow, that's amazing. That's only the fourth time today I've been called stygian.
Very clever and creative. I laughed the whole way through.
Terrific! You are now officially given permission to stop laughing.
You captured Bizarro perfectly, Perry. Thanks. I needed this laugh. :) I knew I could count on you.
It's so clever the way you're able to create another place and another way of speaking, and use it consistently throughout your story, Perry. Glad you left the Jews out of it; seems there are enough people picking on them these days! ;-)
Thanks, Amy. Best wishes to you.
Thanks, Dawn. Bizarro world place to be if jump high you can every night. And tuchas fall on much of time the!
Perry, that creative brain of yours did it again. When you invade, you may have trouble with the people from Star Trek and their Prime Directive. They like to invade...er land on new planets first. Remember to keep your phasers on stun. Well done. :-) --- Suzanne
Where DO your ideas come from? Another very clever story.
Mostly from China, but I import a a few from Singapore as well.
I'll keep phasers on kick the crap out of it, never fear! Thanks, Suzanne.
:D back at ya!
What a funny story. Loved it.
You thank much very!
Poor Bizaroo people! Run, you fools! But on the other hand,if they can handle Donald, they can handle anything.
Perry Dear,
I won't bore you with my version of Bizzaro speak for the rest of this letter, but want to tell you that your story brought back great memories of comic books pored over during long summers past. Lovely work and spot on with the tone and feel. Thanks.
Aloha,
Doug
Ha! Ha! Donald Trump for prez. Funny is story.
Yeah, I think they have a pretty good time except for spending all that money to furnish the houses they never get to get into.
I poured over those same comic books winter, spring, summer, and fall. Which explains all those grades ....
No, he's the vice president there. The president is Farky Noodelman. http://www.perryblock.com/2014/10/if-moses-had-goofy-sidekick.html
