First Date

Ronnie (right) had met Clarissa (left) on Facebook, and it seemed from their on-line correspondence that they were ideally suited for each other; from her picture, she was a real beauty. When they finally met face to face, Ronnie realized that the online pictures hadn’t given him any clue about size . . .

Catch and Release

Catch and release sounded good over drinks with his girlfriend (who thought killing animals was cruel), but some doubts surfaced  when Glen tried the first actual release in the wild . . .

No Place to Hide

Penny had told James that she wasn’t interested in him, she was mating with Huey–so buzz off.  But he kept at it, and there seemed to be no place to hide . . .

Homeless

Wolf Spiders like Elsie don’t spin webs and so are homeless by most standards. This usually didn’t bother Elsie except when she had to lug the kids around in an egg sac.  It was hard to find a date even on those Internet dating sites . . .

Licorice Lover

Herman (pictured, not the “German”) loved licorice, but it turned his tongue black on a regular basis. This occasioned no end of teasing from friends and family, and his girlfriend wouldn’t kiss him when he had black tongue; she suggested he switch to chocolate, pointing out that a) it didn’t discolor his tongue, and b) chocolate, along with beer and pizza, was one of the three essential food groups . . .

Fickle

Jay concluded that the girls were fickle–last spring when he was a baby, they fawned over him, raving about how cute he was.  Now that his one antler was smaller than the other, they didn’t want to  talk to him, much less date . . .
