humans sent off some unwanted people, no scientists, to another planet

Telephone sanitizers?

That's just the "B" ark. Ah. But I forget about the mutant star goat.

Are those people? Are they unwanted?

Idk, someone's gotta clean those things. I would've gone with telemarketers tbh. Those mfs can all be sent to mars for all I care.

Even if they were on Mars, I bet they’d still try to call us.

Only until the entire race contracts a nasty virulent disease from a dirty telephone.

It’s funny, as I got older I became kind of a germaphobe. (Like I’m usually carrying a pack of antibacterial wipes.)

When I was young payphones were still a thing. And I used them frequently. I couldn’t see myself doing that now. I have to wonder if people got weird ear diseases or ear infections from those things. I don’t remember any stories about it. Though it seems like the kind of thing that would become an urban legend.
