My Friend Poudi

Decided to write a little about my friend Brain and how i came to know him.

Brian Poudri, a.k.a. Poudi, Poop Scoop, Poop Scoop da Poudi, Poudacious, Poudi My Woudi, Chewy, and any imitation of Chewbacca from starwars. Brian was born in the town of Baltimore on December 12, 1990 to a loving family consisting of Mrs. and Mr. Poudri.

From the beginning, there was always something special about Brian. He was a very daring and adventurous baby. One day, when Brian was just seventeen months of age he was in the family room of his family’s house in one of those baby bouncers. The kinds were you place the baby up right in the harness and they jump around and move the whole contraption. Well, Brian being Brian, was jumping all around the kitchen having a grand ole time. His mother (who happened to be watching him) had left the basement door open. Brian soon managed to jump his way towards the basement door and before it was to late he was tumbling down the basement stairs. Mrs. Poudri rushed down the stairs expecting the worst, but when she reached Brian she was stunned to see a perfectly healthy baby laughing hysterically. Of course Mrs. Poudri took Brain to the doctor just to make sure he was completely fine. From that incident onwards Brain was never the same.

After the incident Brian began a stage were he laughed at everything, he just couldn’t contain himself. “He won’t stop laughing,” said Brian’s little brother Nick. “All he does is laugh and he can’t take anything seriously, it’s extremely frustrating.” Mr. and Mrs. Poudri assumed it was just a stage he was going through and that he would grow out of it within a few months. However, that didn’t happen, days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years, and he just couldn’t stop laughing. When Brian turned ten years old he was in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart were he witness a man stealing a women’s purse. He should have reacted in some way, for example, calling the police. Instead, Brian stood there just watching and laughing uncontrollably as this woman’s purse was being snatched right from her hands. Brian was not contributing to society but instead laughing at it.

Eventually, Brian graduated high school and it was time to find a job. He simply chose his favorite sandwich out of all the fast food restaurants and applied there. Brian had always had a laughing obsession with Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich so it was only natural to work there. When he met with the manager he just couldn’t stop laughing, although the manager was so impressed with his bright and humorous attitude that he decided to position Brian as the drive through attendee. Brian loved his job just taking orders and laughing all day-it’s all he ever could of dreamed of. Except one day a man came through the drive through and decided to take his order. Brian was having burst of uncontrollable laughter that day and was feeling rowdy. After every time that man would say something Brian would laugh uncontrollably. The man was losing his patience and became frustrated while threatening to sue Brian for harassment. The man sped off without his food and he was never to be seen again. However, the next week Brain received a letter in the mail with an official documented complaint and a court date. Long story short, Brian got sued so much that if he worked at Wendy’s the rest of his life he still wouldn’t be able to pay off his debt. Brian now resides in a mental hospital because he received so many complaints of the laughter that made people feel discriminated and harassed.
