50 Shades of Gray/Earbud Problems
Twyla Sue’s husband had cautioned her about reading “50 Shades of Gray”–the book and reality may be somewhat different; so no need to get her high powered romantic hopes up. But, she reasoned, he hadn’t said anything about listening to the audio book version. She was so engrossed that she hadn’t heard him come in, and embarrassed, she tried to pull out her earbud, but only got the wire, leaving the offending earbud solidly stuck in her ear. How was she going to explain that bill for the ENT doctor to her husband . . . ?
Fantasy Anything
Consuelo’s husband Gregory had played Fantasy Football just once–and was now wallowing in helpless addiction. He carried five iPhones to keep up with Fantasy Golf, Skeet Shooting, Bowling, even Fantasy Curling (Who knew that even existed?)! March Madness only made things worse. He claimed that soon he could make enough prize money on Fantasy games to quit his job and just game for the winnings. She was hoping he’d forget the iPhones in his pants pockets as they went in the washing machine, maybe allowing for a weekend at Fantasy Island for them . . .
Just Too Heavy
Ben had told the power company the line was in the wrong place. To fix what they wouldn’t, he tried to move the line himself, but it was just a little too heavy . . .
Unfair Comparison
When after a few beers (maybe more than a few), Jim’s buddy Chuckie said Jim’s neck, when folded for flight, reminded him of the P-trap part of a toilet drain, he thought it an unfair comparison–in fact just plain insulting . . .
Leaning a Little to the Right
Like many of the new Texas politicians, Gustavo was leaning a little to the right . . .
