Not always the Write way by Dreammaker

He sat down to the computer, his goal to write another story for the BC website.

His plots were simple; he would take a common phrase and either change one word or just twist the meaning. But his muse was not working today. Failed ideas included snuff movies about smokeless tobacco, eating out (where “out” was the name of the thanksgiving turkey that had been raised from the egg).

He had even considered advertising and product ideas. Consider, if you would, if the Red Bull Company had a new energy drink called the LATTA, you know the type, it has a high milk content. It could be than be called the LATTA BULL. I think that the Durham pipe tobacco company is missing a natural in not producing cigarettes that have a picture of an elephant on the wrapper. What would be better than asking for a pack o, Durham?

He did send a suggestion to the good folks at Frito Lay. Those potato chips of theirs are great, they should let everyone sharing the road with their trucks know that they believe in the goodness of their chips. Just adding one word at the top of the sign would do it ... GOOD... , why yes it would say good lay’s, why not, it would be the truth.

No, he would have to give up the temptation today to write something. He was not even upset; after all he was a man. He could be “fit to be tied” (perhaps working out in a dungeon?) but a person has to be female to be a real misfit.
