In the Jag-Whiffing Service

On a bustling interstellar freight line, a crew of alien saucer pilots wrestles with a baffling new commodity—jag‑whiff, a mysterious black‑ringed substance that promises intense pleasure. As the cargo bays swell and the sky fills with odd, whirring balls, the pilots question why Earth’s bureaucracy insists on shipping the drug with endless accessories and costly extras.

Inside the dimly lit jag‑whiff parlors, the alien narrator describes the ritual: a pressurized tube, a face‑piece, and a rush that sends all five eye‑sticks whirling into a fierce focus. The humor comes from the clash between human fear of the unknown and the smug satisfaction of a species that has turned pleasure into a commodity, all while the universe’s larger mysteries swirl just out of view.
