Chapter 1: Ray Decides To Save The World.

Next-->

It was a day like any other in Cleveland, Ohio. Our hero was sitting in his cube, innocently writing another line of code, for another computer program, all in the hopes of making his company another dollar. He was, as most people are, another cog in the great American Corporate Machine. Then with no warning at all, the proverbial light bulb went off in his head. And not one of those household light bulbs that you have in your bedside reading lamp. This was one of those industrial strength light bulbs used to illuminate football stadiums (or at least he assume it was, since he had never actually been in a football stadium).

He, Raymond C. Blakney, was going to save the world. But there was one problem, he had no idea how to go about it. He entertained all kinds of idea's. First he explored the feasibility of donning a spandex outfit and flying around the world saving people from fiery buildings and preventing school buses filled with school children from falling off bridges. But discarded that idea, when he realized he did not know where to buy a spandex outfit.

Next, he thought "maybe I should become a world renowned scientist, and use my extensive scientific know how and resources to discover the formula for World Peace". After an eternity(consisting of 5 minutes) of research and calculations, he came up with the following irrefutable formula for World Peace.

(Global Warming * Cost of Oil)
------------------------------------- - "G.W. Bush" + "1000 lbs of Guava" = World Peace
5.63 * e^9 tons of Unagi Sushi

But then he realized he didn't know where to buy "1000 lbs of Guava", and thus, his inability to shop once again foiled the plan.

How was he going to do it? Was there a way he could go out into the world, and help improve peoples lot in life?

So it is decided. Ray is joining the Peace Corps...
