10/28/13

Doug was extraordinarily proud of his champion rose bush, but what pleased him more than anything was the way it obscured the other, less socially acceptable, plants he was growing in his side yard...
As Lenny approached the agreed-upon spot for his blind date with "Peggy," he could hardly decide which of the three ladies present that he wanted to date THE LEAST and considered turning tail and heading back home!
The visit to Aunt Mabel's had gone fine until she opened up the cabinet and Theo spotted the bottle of castor oil nestled behind the Quaker Oats.  Now it was time to hop in the stroller and make tracks for home!
As the members of her Crazy Eights Luncheonette began to dig into the afternoon refreshments, Judith began to wonder if her un-airconditioned dining room had been the best spot for her vast array of cheeses, seafood and dips.
And so the Saddlehooks and the Barfeins waited patiently outside the King's Lair Motor Lodge until a taxi could take them to another establishment; one where the presence of Piddles wouldn't incur a hefty additional charge.
Lonnie and Carol Sue fooled no one.  Beneath their ecstatic smiles and overwhelming enthusiasm, folks could tell even at the reception that the marriage wasn't going to make it over the long haul...
