“Stop garfrumpting. He’ll hear you.”
“I can’t help it. Look at her.”
“Oh my God! What happened to everything? Where is everyone? Bobby? Sally? Billy?” The woman ran up and down the deserted road where her house once stood. The new truck Bobby had bought her last week was old and rusty.
The two Forlucks looked through the kamkrit and watched the Earthling’s reaction to her first time travel experience as they both broke into garfrumpter which eventually turned into loud snorting through their long bulbous snouts.
“I wish Earth people weren’t so boring.”
“Boring?”
“That is sarcasm. It is a type of Earthling humor.”
From an overhead speaker the commander shouted, “Hey you two Forlucks, get back to work!”

Wow! A sci-fi from the prompt. Is she forced to time-travel? Is she abducted? What are the aliens doing there? What are their “work”? I smell an alien invasion and my imagination is running wild now. Very interesting. Here’s mine: http://allenjambalaya.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/the-ant-hill/

I always enjoy your tales, and this one sticks out superbly! I love the idea of two bored aliens at work (almost like a watercooler idea), attempting to mimic human humour.
