The Maan writes a New Book

Ok, folks, so I have a great idea for a children's book, and I want to bounce it off all of you before I send the idea off to Simon and Schuster...

The book tells the story of a personal trainer named Horton who, on the fifteenth of May in the Fitness Center called 'Cool', hears a small speck of dust on top of the pullup bar talking to him. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny planet, home to a city called "Goo-ville", inhabited by microscopic-sized extremely obese and unmotivated inhabitants known as Goos.
The Goos ask Horton (who, though he cannot see them, is able to hear them quite well while doing corn cob pull-ups) to protect them from early onset diabetes, to which Horton happily obliges, proclaiming throughout the book that "a person's a person, no matter how small...as long as he BRINGS IT!". In doing so he is ridiculed and forced into a pilates class by the other personal trainers in the gym for believing in something that they are unable to see or hear. His chief tormentors are Dr. Atkins Vladikoff, the Krispy Kreme Brothers and the Nutrisystem Kangaroo, and the small kangaroo in her pouch. Horton tells the Goos that they needed to make themselves heard to the other trainers, lest they end up as part of "Lobster Bisque", which they finally accomplish. The Goos finally make themselves heard by ensuring that all members of their society do their best and forget the rest like they are trying out for the cover of Downward Dog Magazine. In the end it is the smallest Goo of all, Dominic, who provides the last Ohmmmm lift to be heard, thus reinforcing the moral of "a person's a person no matter how small....as long as they BRING IT!".
