You have suddenly died, and can be reincarnated as a fictional character from the past of your own design GO
Me: J.M. "Yip" Farfington III, of the Newport Farfingtons. Yale '26, millionaire playboy / stage door Lothario with a Pierce-Arrow and a penchant for chorus girls. Accidental Broadway Angel who creates the smash hit 500-Girl Farfington Follies and becomes a Hollywood Mogul
please note "of your own design," not "some movie or book character created by someone else," you imagination-free dopes
My antics have proven a constant thorn to my dad, electric iron industrialist JM Farfington II, who forever threatens to cancel my expense account. Little does he know that I earned millions of my own shuttling Canadian booze to Yale's fraternity row in my autogyro
Fortunes turn when Dad is driven to disgrace and bankruptcy, after thousands are electrocuted and behead by faulty FarfCo irons and fans. Luckily, his prodigal son the bootlegger / girlie show empresario is there to save the day and introduce Ol' Dad to the Hollywood high life
December 7, 1941: while Dad and I are auditioning dancers at Colossal Studios for our latest Tinseltown spectacular, "Farfington Femme Fatales of '42", we learn of Pearl Harbor. Immediately we re-write it as the patriotic musical epic "Leg Show For Victory!"
Millions of patriotic American boys march from the theater to enlist in the war effort. By June 1942, the Nazi and the Japanese have both surrendered, thanks to America's secret weapon: FarfCo electric irons and rotating beheaders, dropped from Farfco-Lockheed autogyro bombers
I have to say I'm bit disappointed by the lack of volunteer reincarnated chorus girls looking to make their big break in Yip Farfington's next big Broadway extravaganza
