Biting the Hand
Gus, a PETA advocate, thought if he just fed the gator, it would see he was on the side of all animals, including gators. The gator’s response was more like that of a divorce lawyer, a politician, or a bad tempered pit bull.
Free Agent
J. R. had been drafted by the Broncos but cut from the roster after only a year. He was now a Free Agent and hoped to get on with the Texans. The Broncos had said that even for a lineman he was big and he was quick, but with those short legs he just wasn’t tall enough . . .
Career Paths
Westley was beginning to wonder if his career path as a dental hygienist had been the best choice . . .
I Feel Pretty
When Elise’s boyfriend dumped her, she was left feeling ugly and unloved. To help her, her friends paid for a trip to the day spa for her. She couldn’t believe how the pampering, the mud packs and mani-pedi recharged her self esteem. As she walked to her car, she couldn’t help but burst out in song–“I feel pretty, oh so pretty. . .”

To begin with, she was thinking gold nails with mother of pearl inlays, spelling her name–either Gator Girl or Gator Baby–but decided not to use her boyfriend’s suggestion “Cold-Hearted Mama”.
