Parting–Sweet Sadness

Sadly, Joel had to part with his new pet, Bruce.  The apartment manager cited lack of house training, but unspoken was the matter of the missing Jones cat, the disappearance of ChiChi (the  Shi Tzu), and one of the Martinez kids not making it home from school . . .

Fading Fast

While on site checking out the scenery for a film to be shot on the Texas Gulf Coast, Madonna and Lady Gaga were watching a stunning Gulf Coast sunset when Madonna said to Lady Gaga, “It seems like being on top of the world, being famous and popular, but take it from me, girl, it’s fading faster than you can imagine.”

Mistaken Identity

Ginger wished that just once she could go into a country bar, do a little line dancing, and not  have some guy use the old (worn completely out) pick up line “Say, Y’all the Yellow Rose of Texas?”  What was wrong with being from Nashua, New Hampshire, and why should she always have to explain?

Wrong Goalkeeper

When Ernest told his beer drinking buddies he had applied for and been rejected as goalkeeper for the U.S. Football ( Soccer) team for the World Cup, they all laughed and pointed out you had to be quick, lithe, and agile to be a winning goalkeeper.  Once the U.S. was out, Earnest was quick to point out to his buddies that their theory on quick, lithe, and agile versus bulky hadn’t worked out all that well, had it . . . ?
