Guys, don’t piss off the earth
Imagine what would happen if we pissed the earth off so much that one day it decided to suddenly stop spinning.
That’s right, we would all fly off at an unimaginable speed and either suffocate in the vacuum of space, or drown in all the water that was flung off with us.
“That’ll teach ‘em” sniggers the Earth
And carries on spinning.
Remember that next time you don’t sort your recycling properly.
