Toys'R'Us Kid

“Seriously, I’ve sent out fifty resumes, and not one call back.” Ted paces anxiously across the living room, stomping a shallow trench into the carpet.

“Did you put the right phone number on it?” Jed asks, while he watches Star Whores: The Empire Strikes Black.

“This resume is perfect. No mistakes.”

The heroine, Syndee Grace, is in an unenviable position between two large stormtroopers as Jed reads over the resume. He asks, “you don’t really want a job, do you?”

“What?”

“These are the lyrics to the Toys’R’Us theme song.”

Ted pauses, defeated, and says, “so what? I’m a Toys’R’Us kid.”
