Stories From The Head

The Party Tenber was a man of action. His motto was “my way...or...ANOTHER WAY!”, and he’d lived by it all his life. If one of his workers (his staff consisted of 78 people) tried to argue with the way Tenber wanted an assignment performed, he’d just say “Oh...oh...my way isn’t good enough for you? Well...why don’t you try doing it ANOTHER WAY then?????!”. That would always shut them up, and the assignment would be performed a lot more efficiently than the way Tenber had planned it. One day, the whole staff (except Hissigtante) started planning a big party in Tenber’s honour.  The committee assigned (by Hissigtante, the missing chef) to arrange the party consisted of Bulder, Månnin, Spritvaffla, Tennosplitt, Jajuj, Ixter, Nihilispo, Ut, Fjellhuden, Utt, Ruggla, Blæst, Siemans, Trøsteklut, Inders, Pisse, Ibrel, Gagukkasprætt, Pente, Ank, Seppel, Hihut, Glukk, Andreis, Keftes, Jimmi, Nehiz, Kleptoman, Erdel, Huhun, Dildi, Løktestolpo, Hud, Gebhart, Plast, Jeppu, Nud, Pud, Axil, Ehuh, Gratis, Dyr, Bøddel’n, Marrenarr, Globo, Bebebbe, Adder, Bølumaskin, Ardu, Sasin, Hekkisnekki, Hare, Lalunis, Babunis, Kalkunis, Dedder, Hæcto, Nokkia, Kasteball, Mjønn, Kaffe, Lut, Briskegraff, Hasen, Medvin, Kruppsto, Afrikan, Sellekjepp, Hønn, Ulyd, Smekter, Tippelaget, Sissi, Andac, Specter and Abjutteneger. Everyone except Petter, who was to function as a kind of swimming pool for the duration of the party (don’t ask me how he was going to pull THAT off). One day, just before the party, Tenber approached Hissigtante with a suggestion (Tenber, of course, knew nothing about the party). “Hissigtante”, he whispered. “Let’s never have another party as long as we live!”. Hissigtante thought about it. “Weeell...I have a different suggestion”. Tenber looked at him with slightly closed eyelids. “Yeees. What is it?”. Hissigtante cleared his throat. “My suggestion is: LET’S CONTINUE HAVING PARTIES!”. “Oh...”, Tenber whispered. “Ok, lets do it YOUR way”. The party was a great success, and Tenber hadn’t strayed from his motto. Everyone was happy. Everyone except Petter, who forgot to bring water for his one-of-kind human swimming pool (which, by the way, broke more or less every anatomical rule in the entire universe, but had a strangely soothing effect on Petter). Needless to say, people were disappointed. Especially Gagukkasprætt, who loved bathing. “Adder” he whispered. “I love bathing”. So did Adder. So...did Adder...
