The Time Traveler’s Guide to the Year 2020
Dear 2182, just stay away…
Dear time traveler,
Pardon my rudeness but: You’ve got to be *bleep* kidding me! Why would you want to travel to 2020, unless it’s for some form of cosmic punishment?
In the future, have prisons been replaced with a one-way trip to April 2020?
Has a clever consulting firm — one of the Big Four, if they still exist — found some savings potential by realizing that governments — do governments still exist? — don’t need to spend money on prisons when historical lockdowns would do the trick just fine?
We will never know, or will we? I’m sure some rules are preventing you from disclosing that information to us.
Well, thankfully we are more generous and forthcoming with our information about our time period. So, here you go…
12 rules to abide by when time traveling to 2020:
Rule #1
Don’t! There are many great periods in time. 2020 ain’t it. That’s universally agreed upon.
Rule #2
See Rule #1.
Rule #3
Still not convinced? See Rule #1, then see a historian.
