Read Funny Short Stories to avoid The Burbing Breathe of Boredom

This is NOT a funny story. Do not read.  Seriously.

For a second, I got really mad at this obnoxious cockroach, who wouldn’t go away, dodging my swats time and again. Then, as I was walking back to the living room, I realized that that little critter out there is my new roommate. Suddenly my feelings changed.
