A person invents a time machine for the sole purpose of traveling back in time to get the autographs of every historical figure (Washington, Napoleon, Hitler, Marilyn Monroe, JFK) before they die. After making hundreds of trips he becomes known throughout time as the grim reaper.
On his deathbed, he flips through his book of autographs with a sense of satisfaction. Yet, one page remains to be filled.
The Grim Reaper himself appears by his bed. “You have been impersonating me for the entire of history, stealing my credits. People think I come in a form of a man! How ridiculous!”
The time traveler grins. “Hey, man. Can I please have your autograph?”
The Grim Reaper ignores him. “I mean, how did you get people like pharaohs to sign your stuff?” The Grim Reaper scoffs. “You know, I never actually get to meet you in person. I always only see the tail of your coat as you whoosh away in that silly time machine of yours. Take the autograph, then run away, as I execute my job. Hmph.”
The time traveler sits up on his bed. “Look, don’t ask me how, but every time I get an autograph, I get to renew my contract to meet another great historical figure.”
The Grim Reaper rolled his eyes. “Well, now your time has come. No more fooling around. Goodbye.” He lifted his scythe and slashed through the time traveler’s heart.
The time traveler disintegrated.
The Grim Reaper sighed with relieve.
Then a familiar voice appeared behind him.
“Nice signature, Grim.”

Child Protective Services Take 80 Million Children Into Custody After Discovering No One In Country Fit To Be Parent
WASHINGTON—Saying no one in the country is responsible or reliable enough to serve as a legal guardian, child protective services officials from all 50 states confirmed Friday that they had found all of the nation’s adults unfit to be parents and had taken custody of approximately 80 million children.
Child welfare workers told reporters they removed all persons under the age of 18 from their unsuitable living situations and placed them under state supervision after home visits revealed that none of the 68 million parents in the United States possessed the judgment or emotional maturity necessary to raise a child.

These are forms of male aggression that only women see. But even when men are afforded a front seat to harassment, they don’t always have the correct vantage point for recognizing the subtlety of its operation. Four years before the murders, I was sitting in a bar in Washington, D.C. with a male friend. Another young woman was alone at the bar when an older man scooted next to her. He was aggressive, wasted, and sitting too close, but she smiled curtly at his ramblings and laughed softly at his jokes as she patiently downed her drink. ‘Why is she humoring him?’ my friend asked me. ‘You would never do that.’ I was too embarrassed to say: ‘Because he looks scary’ and ‘I do it all the time.’
Women who have experienced this can recognize that placating these men is a rational choice, a form of self-defense to protect against setting off an aggressor. But to male bystanders, it often looks like a warm welcome, and that helps to shift blame in the public eye from the harasser and onto his target, who’s failed to respond with the type of masculine bravado that men more easily recognize.
