a conversation overheard by Dreammaker

It was a dark and stormy night
...no, no, no that’s no
way to start a story.

OK, what do you suggest?

Well what type of story do you wish to write?

Don’t know horror or perhaps a murder mystery.

Do you really have any idea on how it will develop?

No, not really.

Tell you what, I saw a shop in the mall that might be able
to help you, it kind just appeared, don’t remember seeing it before.

So how would that help me?

Well this old guy that is the proprietor said he had just
the thing to help your writing, heck he even knew your name.

do-Do-do-dodo-Do-due
.... time passing...

Heck what happened to you, you’re not looking too good.

That, store… There’s real magic there...I asked the
proprietor...he said he had been waiting for me...yeah I told him about wanting
to write a horror story, he said he had just the thing to help.

What?

Oh he helped me hire a pair of ghost writers,
Real mean looking characters, but they sure know
the steamy side of life. Anyhow he said that they were working off a debt to
him and that I would, in effect, be sub leasing their employment.
Said that I’d be the leaser of two evils..

That was a terrible pun, and a long way to go for it.

No kudo for you! Pffthlpthph!

Well, That Was A Laugh !

Nice joke. Has me giggling through the morning. Only a half an hour left now, and it will be afternoon already.

"Good Afterble, Consternoon!", as someone I was helping to take home after a party said to the policeman who stopped us in the car. I, fortunately, had NOT been drinking.

Smug grin.

Well, one joke deserves another !
