Pesky Electrons

Leo's atoms worked just fine, except for pesky electrons that never did what they were told. Einstein predicted as much. 'Keep your electrons from getting bored or you've got trouble' he warned.
Strange things happened because of this imbalance. His nose ran with blue mucus, bubbles in his artichoke salad, he read bad poetry on public transportation. Numbness attacked his nether region, ants appeared in his soap dish,, the smoke alarm played Bach, it was impossible to peel a banana.
Leo asked his best friend Joe for advice. Joe said to whisper gently to his electrons, show them adult magazines, take them camping, let them understand how vital they are to one's environment.
Leo thanked him and wanted to believe this would work. Then Joe gave him one of his story collections and Leo realized Joe's electrons were those of a sociopath.
