Earth's First Blind Date

It was early January when the aliens came, according to certain crazy people. Dundas, Greenland was their landing zone. Turns out they found the 1977 satellites we launched, really liked the Chuck Berry on them, and came by to see if we had any more CDs. After a few nervous phone calls, the aliens and humans set up a date for their introduction to Earth life and culture.

Leaders on both sides had been carefully chosen to meet. Everyone was nervous that night, their leaders emerged wearing deep grey robes. Earth leaders, all decked out in their impressive suits, saluted the aliens in respect. Looking out over the earth leaders the aliens felt very gangly and that they should have worn better robes. They made a comment about not knowing how formal they should be and offered to change their attire. Earth’s leaders exchanged some mumbled apologies, but the aliens finally just dropped the subject.

“I see you have your own flying craft.” Robby, the leader of alien agricultural affairs said to the President.

“Oh yeah, I just got it. My uh, my country lets me take it out whenever I want.” The US President stammered as he looked at his shoes. He should have worn the brown ones.

“Cool” Robby smiled a space smile.
