For Someone Who Asked - An Excerpt From A Teenage Jokera

Actually it's a scene from The Dinky Doos Investigate.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

"Tell me the best, Susie," Mikey chortled. "Have you been banished to the outer limits?"

"Au contraire, mon petit frère, I've been admitted to the inner sanctum. Behold - dad's newest trainee estate agent - and heir apparent."

"I don't believe you," Mikey spluttered.

"You'd better - I've got the tape measure and evidence to prove it."

"No, you haven't."

"Here we are again, Jeffrey."

"And advertising ourselves to a mainly American audience with a reference hardly anyone
will understand, Susie - talk about mad men."

"We'll never learn, Jeffrey."

"And neither will they, even if they read the whole of 'Double Trouble', Susie. It's a
ripping yarn, but it'll probably leave them more confused than ever."

"Maybe we should do a silent movie next time, Jeffrey."

A Susie and Jeffrey Vignette

"Stop it, Jeffrey."

"Stop what, Susie."

"Obsessing over whether 'a' or 'the' makes the line funnier."

"One wrong little word can kill the comedy, Susie."

"Not with me, Jeffrey - I could read from the list of Huntingdonshire cabmen and still raise a horse laugh."

"I think that may be a joke too far for here, Susie."

"As is a lot of our stuff, Jeffrey, but we can't do anything about it now, so let's expend our energy on some pre-publicity and see if we can waylay a few new unsuspecting readers."

Why 729 is the Answer to Life ...

Someone (thanks again, mittfh) has been intrigued by the working of Jeffrey/Denise's cute card hustle in the last chapter of 'A Quiet Night In'.

http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/20170/susie-and-jeffre...

Susie and Jeffrey have used this as an excuse to engage in a little Siscratic dialogue about the maths behind the trick. They've added a rambling comment explaining why, in this case, 729 is the answer to life the universe and everything. If a minority of a minority of a minority are interested, it's at -

Stuff and Nonsense

"Phew, what a scorcher, Jeffrey! October the 1st is early this year."

"I blame the EUSSR, Susie. They're sending us their overheated, continental air and probably scheming to plunder our newly discovered gas reserves in return. The sooner our maritime climate reasserts itself, the happier I'll be."

"Hear, hear, Jeffrey, bring on the equinoctial storms, and let's turn our faces to the open seas. We've had more than enough trouble with dog days this autumn. It's not natural; the next thing you know, neutrinos will be travelling faster than the speed of light."

The Missing Link

"If you want something doing, Jeffrey, do it yourself."

"That's what gran says, Susie, but I've begun to doubt the wisdom of her words since I met you."

"Are we ever going to visit your gran, or is she a comedy device like my car?"

"I haven't decided yet - I'll have to discuss it with my other half."

"You are your other half."

"Not Denise - Jamie."

"We'd be better off dropping that persona, Jeffrey. Our little blog did better than his 50,000 word epics."

A Comma Alert and an OpenOffice Macro

"That's a job well done, Susie."

"What have you been fiddling away with, hunched over like that, Jeffrey?"

"I finally managed to force myself to reread our first nine chapters, and I've inserted a multitude of missing commas."

"Come again."

"That's right - our comma count has increased from 1,553 to 2,216."

"Sometimes, Jeffrey, I worry about your pernickety attention to detail."

"I didn't tot them up by hand, Susie."

While Websense is away

Thank you all for your comments. They're very generous and I love reading them.

I'm in the local library. This is the first time since I posted that Websense isn't running. TopShelf and the other main TG sites have always been blocked, but lately there has been a random dropping of the guard. The odd thing is Stardust, Beverly's Balcony, Tuck, TG Comics and Stories and various other sites are always available.
