"And that's how evolution works, class. To adapt to the new climate beginning in the mid-21st century, mankind rapidly evolved in a number of ways."
"That's
how we used to look, Professor Goldberg? All covered with - what did you
call it - skin, and without razor sharp teeth to ferret out food?"
"Exactly,
Mr. Clifford. And those awkward appendages called legs gave way to fins
for better mobility."
"Look
how ugly people used to be! How did we become so facially attractive,
Professor?"
“Because,
Ms. James, we needed to repopulate the planet. That's why everyone evolved to be so
smokin' hot!"
"God
Bless Evolution, Professor Goldberg!"
"Class
dismissed. Go to it, hotties!"

I sincerely hope this post wasn't too sexually arousing for any of the other Friday Fictioneers. I toned it down from the original more graphic version but when you have a picture prompt like the above, toning down the sexual vibe is about as easy as getting climate change on the agenda of the Republican National Convention.
To help your mind evolve to a higher plane, click here for the offerings of the other Friday Fictioneers. Go to it, hotties!
In the meanwhile, I'm sitting here on the internet. Waiting to evolve.
Would you be offended if I said that your story was not arousing anything except laughter?
ReplyDeleteNice dialogues!
So much for my career as a writer of porn!
DeleteWell, I guess you and I were born a couple of centuries too soon, Perry. Lack of hair seems to be all the rage in this crowd.
ReplyDeleteLoved your comment about getting climate change on the agenda of the Republican National Convention. That would be an ice storm in Hades.
Hades? You were born a couple of millenia too late!
DeleteWho knew all we needed was a bit more evolution to make us ALL smokin' hot. I'm still waiting. Another good laugh this week. Thanks, Perry.
ReplyDeleteOf course you were always smokin' hot, Alicia, but it's a whole new thing for me!
DeleteI know that only a few of us have already started to adapt.. on the facial side I'm ready... Just have to get some fins and fangs.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Bjorn, we're not handing out the fins and fangs again until next Thursday ...
DeleteThat was hardpore corn indeed.
ReplyDeleteOooh...That comment got me excited!
DeleteUtterly scandalized by your indecent story, Perry. I may have to close the laptop and have a cold shower. That won't go down well with the cat currently sleeping on my arm though.
ReplyDeleteAmusing stuff with a message not so different from Doug's!!!
Gee, that's high praise to be compared to Doug. I'm shocked to find out I even had a message! Thanks.
DeleteVery entertaining. I do hope evolution is kind to us, as I'd really like the species to survive, in some form. Better to be a "hottie", I guess, than to die from being overheated.
ReplyDeleteI think these humans of the future are hotties and many die from being way overheated. I hope I can get used to the fangs.
DeleteBeauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. I feel less confident about the fate of the human race, though. Have you ever read the sci-fi book, Last and First Men? It's all about how humans evolve over millions of years into lots of strange things like this.
ReplyDeleteThe Eye of the Beholder" also the title of a classic Twilight Zone episode. Sounds like an interesting book, I'll try to check it out.
DeleteDear Perry, I think you will be sitting by the computer for a long time! Great story and Yikes, I hope it doesn't happen! Nan
ReplyDeleteIf it does, well, I've got my date all picked out. I may need a few drinks first.
DeleteLOL. Your hottie doesn't do a lot for me I have to admit but I loved the dialogue.
ReplyDeleteShe wouldn't be my first choice either but by "last call" ...
DeleteDear Perry,
ReplyDeleteAfter Subroto's hardpore corn I have nothing left to add. Evocative piece cloaked in humor.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Yes, and I hope they stay cloaked too.
DeleteAlas, I was born too early, too, no hotties for me. Some laughter instead, thanks for the chuckle.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'll introduce you to a few of my hotties if you like.
DeleteI thought we were supposed to be warned about XXX topics!
ReplyDeleteWe're all adults here, aren't we?
DeleteLOL :-) In my dreams, Perry, I'm a hottie. In reality, I creak out of bed in the morning, desperate for a cup of tea, and feeling as old as a dinosaur!
ReplyDeleteIn our dreams we're all hotties, even if we're Nouveau Old, Formerly Cute.
DeleteHotties? You wouldn't be one of those science inclined climate warming believers, now would you?
ReplyDeleteGood one, Tay.
You'll believe too when you wind up married to one of these hotties in the next 20 years.
DeleteHardpore corn...Perry, you've discovered a new category! Congratulations! I'd take a pair of fins any day, by the way. And such fun homework. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI think you look better with legs, Amy. And I don't see you in razor sharp teeth either.
DeleteI had to take a cold shower after that!
ReplyDeleteWell,I'm glad you calmed down. NOW READ IT AGAIN!
DeleteGreat idea - a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun. I'm still a little concerned about the evolution.
DeleteInstead of a cold shower I feel the need for a cold dip in the sea. Hmmm
ReplyDeleteOh, I know. Professor Goldberg is just that hot!
DeleteNow you know, I'm an anthropologist. That story of yours just gets me tingling. Well done. Lucy Conrad The Excessive Gardener
ReplyDeleteThat it gets you tingling gets me tingling too! Thanks.
DeleteIf that picture is a sample of hot, I'll stay cold thank you very much. That picture is enough to scare anyone into respecting nature more. Hilarious, Perry. :D --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteYou don't find Professor Goldberg hot?! That man's my spitting image! Better get your eyes checked, Suzanne ....
