The bare bones of the snow globe saga...
I have an ex-fiance. We moved out of state and in with one of his friends. When calling his mother to reassure her that we'd arrived and were not eaten by angry reptiles or cacti, he saw a snow globe sitting on top of the microwave: bright plastic base, a rounded rectangular prism filled with water, flakes at the bottom, sunken pirate ship. So of course he picked it up and shook it.
Water and flakes splatted all over. New Roommate #1 began berating him for the malicious assault on his sea monkeys, and ran off to get the sea-monkey sucker to pick up the sea monkeys and put them back in their little aquarium.
My ex-fiance tried to get the goop off the phone, and succeeded in hanging up not only on his mother, but on the computer line, causing New Roommate #2 to emerge from his lair and begin berating my ex for the hijinks with the phone.
Naturally, my ex got a cheap snow globe and some sea monkeys for the following Christmas.
