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.

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.

Social Dilemma

It had started out as just fun, but then the rough crowd crashed the party, and some of those attending were very uncomfortable.
