Speedo Blues

Harvey was more than a little depressed; he had watched with awe and admiration the diving competition at the Olympics on TV at his favorite sports bar. He decided to give diving a try at the local YMCA.  His girlfriend was visiting New York and promised to bring Harvey a Speedo (they were hard to find in Montana).  All she could find in his size was in pink, which Harvey thought was not all that masculine and proper for an Olympic contender,  especially when he saw the embroidered “Save The Ta Tas” logo displayed across the backside . . . .  David, Sf.G.

There Goes the Neighborhood

Jack could only stand there and shake his head sadly; the Forest Service people were putting up signs that said the area would be open to ATV’s in the summer and Snowmobiles in the winter.  He hadn’t minded the loggers so much, they came, cut and then left, but this had a more permanent feel to it.  All he could say was, “There goes the neighborhood” . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Dark Rings

Lucinda had tried everything to get rid of the black rings under her eyes, over the counter cremes, products from an Internet search, some prescription thing her dermatologist suggested that cost a bundle, even recommendations from Dr. Oz; nothing seemed to work.  Her mother, who had the same problem, thought it might be genetic. . . . .

Where?

 

When accused of being a “coyote” and sneaking immigrants across the border, Yolanda had only one question; “Where do you think I’m hiding them?  I don’t even wear designer jeans and don’t have a purse to put them in.” . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Bad News

 

It had already been a bad news day as Charlie drove to the store; an unbalanced budget, political uncertainty, the Eurozone crisis, North Korea with a new leader, and the Iranians trying to go nuclear.  But all of that paled into insignificance as he went through the checkout line and saw in the tabloids, “Pippa Dumped Three Times In Six Months And Doesn’t Know Why,” ” Kim Addicted To Plastic Surgery,” and “Michelle Obama Secretly Dating Ryan Seacrest!”  Now there was some bad news . . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Missed the Punchline

 

All through school, Betty’s teachers had told her she was a daydreamer and to pay more attention, but she just had a hard time focusing on anything for very long.  The joke had started out funny, but then her mind had drifted away, and she had missed the punchline–everyone was laughing, so it must have been good.  . . . .  David, Sf.G.
