Twistee Treat.   By Paul Goldfinger. 2013. Copyright.

What if you just landed from Mars and you saw this landscape? You would wonder if there were life on earth and if there were, what would they do with the funny house?  And the poles and the  strange buildings and the thing with wheels?

You would say, “Let’s leave this odd and boring  place and get back home where the ice cream has a high butterfat content and there are dancing girls.”   Or perhaps you’ll say to the driver, “Let’s try the moon next.”
