Chiropractor Blues
Sue (pictured) had to get her back adjusted. She’d had the kink in her back all her life, but she hated the popping noise it made as the chiropractor put the vertebrae in place.
Back Trouble
Mervyn (pictured) had been putting up with a sore back for years; his health insurance didn’t cover chiropractor visits.True, he wasn’t real active, didn’t dance or play basketball, but even if he had to pay for it himself, he was going to see the chiropractor and get this kink in his back straightened out.
Dead Reckoning
As they left Wichita, Bob told his wife he had no need of the GPS–he could get to Galveston just fine by dead reckoning . . .
Rising Above It
In spite of petty comments by the rest of the students at a rural Oregon school, the Girl Artists group decided to rise above it . . .
O.W.L. Party
In view of the “interesting” bunch of characters running for president, the “OWL Party” believed their candidate had a good chance. OWL didn’t refer to wisdom, it stood for “Out With Logic, On With Lunacy . . .”
A Little Crabby
Elise hadn’t minded the lack of privacy that came with running for public office, in her case for Lt Governor. She felt strongly about her “Crustaceans’ rights” platform. At one point, she had been accused of trying to claw her way to the top. She didn’t mind the accusation, but she hated that she had to have someone, a non crustacean, hold her up to face the cameras. It was demeaning, as well, trying to find a place to hook the lapel microphone for these media events.
