NOTHING HAPPENS IN DUBUQUE

nothing ever happens in dubuque
Nothing ever happens in Dubuque. The nothingness is so vast and overwhelming that it’s created a drastic increase in potholes; potholes filled with nothing. The nothingness was running out of places to go, so it found a home within one of the thousands of potholes scattered throughout Dubuque. The nothingness gets particular about their potholes, mind you, and they don’t like to share. Unfortunately, this leaves the people of Dubuque with a huge pothole problem, making any time someone needs to leave the house a dangerous journey.
But then, something happened.
Aliens landed in Dubuque last Saturday! They were under the assumption that Dubuque was their home planet, as they had mistaken the potholes as giant craters from space. Aliens were soon arriving at people’s doors wearing nothing but giant galoshes, causing a huge uproar within the community.
The Women’s Society Club even postponed one of their book club meetings to discuss this infuriating matter.
But, after some time, the aliens began to be accepted by the people of Dubuque. Especially once they started to wear more than those giant interstellar galoshes. The aliens found homes within the potholes, and the nothingness was scared away.
Now, everything happens in Dubuque. Including a citywide trend of galoshes.
