Homo Erectus Page #5

- She was picking flowers, there was a cliff.

She must've slipped, it's like a hundred feet.

Oh man, she's dead.

Usually, the tribe would've held the ceremony or funeral

and crimated her in the traditional bonfire ritual to the Gods,

But because meat was so scares that season,

we ate her instead.

No, thanks. I'm a little nauseous right now.

As the season progressed

things were getting more dire.

Food was in all time low. I suggested that we wanted to

another location might be more fruitful but,

we all know how much the others listen to me.

I wonder if this sh*t's edible.

I'm sorry, man.

Nice.

I got one!

I'm so proud of you.

Now we gotta watch this?

Now we gotta look at this?

You know, this is ridiculous. If the only fish

in this stream are those little ones,

I don't know why don't we use my invention?

Shut up, Ishbo.

No one's interested in that

hairbrain thing you call it nut.

A net. Look, I'll show it to you.

You'll like this.

You just hold it onto the water

and the current rushes right through

all the little holes.

I'll be able to catch hundreds of them all in one time.

Really?

- Yeah.

Oh, yeah? That is great, look at this.

- You just cast it across.

We fish, like we always fish.

With spear.

Really Ishbo, we've always fish with spears.

Why try something new when the old way works?

Because if we can think of a better way to fish,

maybe we catch more fish.

Really, it's about time we start

thinking out of the box here, people.

An another thing:

What the hell is a box?

Though we never hung out much together,

there was one other member of the tribe

who was relegated to outcast status besides me.

You know, I guess you're one

that was always nice to me so,

Anybody is gonna understand me,

it's gotta be you.

Of course.

I don't know if you noticed it but

I've never been with a woman.

It's a sad coincidence, really.

Neither have I.

So I'm not the only total loser of the tribe.

That's good.

Let's not get crazy here, Rog,

what's the real problem?

The problem is, I don't feel in.

You know, I have no desire to club a woman.

No interest whatsoever.

- Another coincidence. Same with me.

I find it needlessly violent and disrespectful.

- So you and me were the same?

Cut from the same bolt of hide.

- Ishbo, why didn't you tell me this before?

What the is the matter with you?

Sorry, I'm sorry I misinterpreted what you said.

I'm so embarrassed.

Rog, when I said I hadn't been with a woman

it isn't because I don't want to be.

Right, it's because you don't

find them attractive. I'm sorry.

Right.

- OK, well, goodbye forever.

Wait, wait. Not so fast.

- So you are gay?

No!

It's just because you are, doesn't mean you have to
