The Big Bang Boat Theory is a short story inspired by true events involving an integral fuel cell mechanic and his coworkers at a major aircraft company (BAC) located somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

Tired of management's crazy decisions? Ever feel like you need to build a boat to escape the daily grind? Then dive into "Big Bang Boat Theory," a hilariously absurd short story where workplace frustrations meet the, uh, unique application of cosmological principles.
 
Join our narrator as he advises a coworker on constructing a seaworthy vessel using popsicle sticks, chewed bubble gum wrappers, a meticulously-aged Civet, and a single stick of dynamite. Yes, you read that right.
 
"Sometimes, I contemplate the edicts handed down from the lofty echelons of upper management. It's unnecessary to burden you with the intricate details of their latest fleeting scheme, but perhaps a tale from last night will illuminate its effects on our daily toil. The mere fact that I found both the time and the inclination to weave this little narrative speaks volumes in itself."
 
If you're ready for a laugh-out-loud escape filled with bizarre logic, questionable engineering, and a disturbing Jolly Rancher analogy, then grab your copy of "Big Bang Boat Theory" today! Just be sure to keep the dynamite away from the Civets. You've been warned.
