Beverly's Story

Y'all know about my years working undercover as a plus-sized fashion model exposing crime in the world of pinafore. After that, Keanu and I went sailing around the Caribbean for months at a time, stopping on remote islands to collect seashells and to launch flaming bottles of pirate rum out into the sea. Good times. He decided to go make more movies, so I found myself at a loss until I discovered ballroom dancing. You've probably seen me on that show, "Dancing with the Ordinary People." I was pretty good. I won the mirrored Christmas ornament ball trophy three years in a row. That one handsome choreographer kept hitting on me though, so I had to leave the show. (Not because of him; I just developed an allergy to dancing shoes.) However, I bumped into Bruce Willis not long after that (I was looking at my phone), and he had seen me dancing before and asked if I would be in his next movie. I was thrilled to play "Dead Body #2," even if all people ever saw was my feet. I wasn't credited in the movie, but I'm quite sure you would recognize my red toenails. Thus began my acting career. For about two years I played corpses in so many TV shows and movies that I lost count. It was an exciting time. I wasn't paid, but I got to eat all I wanted at the Kraft tables. Realizing that wouldn't pay the bills, I went back to college in my 40s, changed my degree to teaching, because I knew that would pay better than the movies ever would. It's a good thing I had gained a bit of weight eating at Kraft foods, because I needed to be a little bigger than my students to be more intimi...Expand for more
dating. I did well, earning a 4.0 for my masters degree. It should have been 5.0, but the college president explained that their #5 had been stuck on his office computer since a freshman tried to fix it with super glue. He knew I wouldn't want to embarrass the other graduates by showing them up so much, so I agreed sweetly to let it be left that way. I knew the truth and that's what is important. I was offered so many jobs that I tossed them up in the air and practiced juggling flaming knives while they were still in the air. I accepted the only one that didn't catch fire. I have found this an excellent way to weed out the riff-raff. Over the years, I have enjoyed teaching children. I make sure they learn as much useless trivia as possible, because who knows when one of them will be on Jeopardy one day, and they will remember that the different parts of a newspaper or that the oldest horse in the world lived to be 62. My dreams for the future are to one day have enough grandchildren to sponsor a summer camp for them at my home. They can climb old trees, build treehouses with whatever they can find in the barn, hike in the woods, learn to run when someone shoots a gun when they're trespassing, and how to pick vegetables in the garden so Grandma can do some canning. They can even sleep in hammocks under the stars. (There are rarely bears in this area -- usually only a few Bigfoot, and they have been quite friendly... only a couple of cats have disappeared. But I have a great life. If things don't work out teaching, I can always go back to playing a dead body.
