Here’s the story I heard about TreeTop’s flaming backpack.
TT was in a not-to-be-mentioned sporting goods store. He was looking at all the shiny new basketball shoes ‘cause he needed a new pair for, you know, when he watches the games on TV.
So, anyway, this old “grandma” comes up to him and says “excuse me, Sonny,.” TT turns around to look at the old lady, and thinks to himself “man, look at the warheads on this one. [size=3]They’re[/size=3] [size=6]HUGE[/size=6]. I wonder what the snackbox is like.”
The old Lady says, “my, but you’re a strapping young man. Would you mind wearing this backpack so I can see what it looks like on you. You remind me so much of my handsome, young Grandson. This backpack is for him. Tomorrow, he’s going to be 12.” TT says “sure, I loved to” as he thinks to himself “oh yeah, I still got it.”
As the old Lady helps TT put on the backpack, She thinks to herself “oh, what the hell,” and fondles TT’s buttocks as she “readjusts” the pack on him. TT’s mind is now racing a mile a minute as he’s trying to remember if there is a Bar near by.[sex]
Unbeknownst to our mutual friend, the old Lady stuffed one of her old panties into the pack. I swear, guys, this thing must have been made with at least two yards of fabric. She lights the thing and cinches up the pack. “There,” she says, “it just needs one of those water ‘doodads.’ I’ll be right back.” And off goes the old Lady.
Meanwhile, TT can smell the smoke. He turns around and sees nothing and thinks “that’s weird.” And he’s waiting and waiting and still smelling smoke and still turning around and thinking how weird it is.
By now, there is visible flame coming out of the pack. Women and small children are running away from him and he thinks to himself “is it hot in here, or is it just me?”
Out of the blue, he’s tackled by Mall Ninja Security, and the fire is smothered. And the old Lady, well she calmly walked out the door with the three new pairs of tube socks she just lifted.
This is the God-awful truth as I heard it. So, I hope that now you guys understand why TreeTop is reluctant to tell you the story.
