So, they don't wear Amazon t-shirts in the Amazon jungle? Jeff Bezos could fix that. You know, he started as a bookseller. Look where that got him? There are two ways to feel about this story - one, you don't like Jeff, or two, you're goofing on the whole commercialism aspect of our society. Things sure have changed since we thumbed our way through the Sears Catalog. And not necessarily for the better. I liked your story. Bezos has been accused of being a little wacky, so this anecdote fits the pattern. Thanks for posting.

I found the photograph and went with it. Jeff is a Henry Ford with the assembly line. It?s not the product, it?s the delivery system.

Shh. careful, if even the mere suggestion that nibbling on a cockroach might get you high, there will soon be a dearth of cockroaches. The greedy thrill seekers will be consuming cockroaches ny the mouthful. Now you might think of this as a good thing, but I ask you, can you imagine how bad cockroach breath might smell?

My prediction is that cockroaches will be farmed, pureed, laced with marijuana liquid, formed into protein bars, and marketed as a health food item.

Does this mean you have to be a cockroach fancier to make it like Jeff Bezos? How appropriate to bring in Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. I haven't seen the recent movie which seems to be creating a sensation. All I can say is those folks as Amazon must be living in a cockroach eat cockroach world. Clever story. I think it works because most are familiar with Bezos and the Wonder Woman character. judi

LOL! Good play on words: roach-->roach. You clever devil, you. Kind of gross at the start with the biting off heads and pulling off wings. After all, cockroaches want to live in peace like any of us.

Very funny. I just watched Wonder Woman from Netflix. Now she wears gold and silver and bronze too, it appears. Olympic colors now. Love the play on words. The Amazon boxes do seem to smile.

This is very interesting what you have penned about this person chowing down on the cockroach. You used very good wording and great imagery from the art work. Blessings, Teri

Eeeeek! I saw a guy on a HGTV eat a roach on a dare. Disgusting. But then, if I were hungry enough, I'd probably be setting traps for them.

Good eating, if you've run out of wood chips and gravel.
Comment from Gloria ....
Whoops I guess I shouldn't read stories out of order, oh well what the heck, it's a brave new world. If Ozzie bit a bat Jeff can certainly bite a roach. Marketing is so over the top these days. Great job friend, Bill. I'm encouraged to see Wonder Woman making a comeback.

Ned and Pons were subtitled Cockroach World 4
Comment from Zue65
This is obviously a fiction about cockroaches and Jeff Bezos and perhaps the popular Amazon comic characters. Well, I will just wait for the succeeding posts to find out. Thanks for sharing. All the best.
