JETBALLZ





In the wind up to our degree show there was naturally an overriding sense of tension and anxiety in the air. In fact the air was often blue and peoples faces dark. It was a time of deep thought and professional and future directed contemplation. People were pissed off. During my weekly shop at Morrisons I came across an unlikely antidote in the form of 12 for 99p Jetballs. They're cheap, they break after a while, they leave an odd oily residue in your hand, but they bounce in an unearthly fashion. After dribbling mine around Uni I noticed the appreciative longing looks and decided to share the wealth. I drew a poster and made a little nest for the Jetballs, they disappeared pretty sharpish. All the kids were bouncing in the halls, jealously guarding their balls, and trying out eXtreme bouncing outside. You could almost forget about the impending deadlines and mortality of our degree. Sadly Morrisons are out of stock and now I am left with none.
