Intelligent Human Life Is Not Found Here
California, Extra Stupid, home, Language & Words, Spouses & Partners, USA | Romantic | March 23, 2018
(I’m reading an article debating how humans would act if we ever actually found alien life. After finishing it, I look up at my husband who has just walked into the room.)
Me: “How do you think humans would react if they ever found proof of the existence of intelligent human life?”
Husband: “What?”
Me: “How do you think humans would react if they ever found proof of the existence of intelligent human life?”
Husband: *looks confused* “One more time?”
Me: *getting exasperated* “How do you think humans would react if they ever found proof of the existence of intelligent humaaah…” *I suddenly realize what I’ve been saying* “…alien life. I meant alien life.”
Husband: “Oh, thank God. I thought I was going crazy for a minute! First we’d deny that it’s intelligent, then we’d try to eat it.”
