Fake Plants

Dear Fake Plants,

Thank you for providing the beauty of nature without any of the environmental benefits. I'm getting tired of all that fresh air regular plants have been spewing. It's so nice to look at a tree with the comfort of knowing it doesn't need dirt or water.

You know what I'd like? Fake animals, that's what. A nice, fake plastic dog. It would look nice, same as a regular dog, but I wouldn't have to feed it or pick up its feces. That's what I need. That's man's real best friend: plastic dogs.

And then I could get a fake cat and a fake turtle and a fake bird. Fake plants, you are onto something. Maybe someday our civilization will be so advanced, we'll even be able to have fake children and stuff. All the beauty - none of the work. That's what we need.

Sincerely,

Somebody Stuck Inside

  6. You know what I hate about real plants, they're just sucking up all my CO2. With fake plants I can keep all the CO2 I want and as for oxygen, I'll just get some face O2 for my own personal use.

  7. Fake plants and flowers dont die within a week and remind me of my age or increase the doubt I have on my hubby.
    You too feel that licking by dogs gross. Count me in for plastic dogs and cats. People who love bears settle for teddybears dont they?

  8. i can't help but agree with this... people are just too busy these days to take on responsibility for real things (e.g. plants, pets etc)...

    i like fake things but not everything... ^_^

  10. @Pickleope, someday you'll realize your fake spouse is infertile

  12. Well, some I hear have fake girlfriends and boyfriends already, so I guess the next step would be for them to purchase a fake tree they can hug in case their loved one's let them... erm... DOWN.

  13. When I was little I used to water a fake ficus we had in our dining room. My mom told me to talk to it to help it grow. That bitch.

  15. I once had fake magnetic fish. I partied too much to take care of a real animal. Thing is, magnetic fish have batteries that die so if you're as irresponsible as I was, even they quit swimming after a while. I was saddened they didn't float belly up though. I did not flush them, I just gave the whole tank away.
