    We lined up.

    Buchanan and Higgins lifted the Lewis gun; three carried Mills bombs, the rest fixed bayonets.

    Shells whizzed overhead, Russell’s whistle blew, and we climbed up for a walk in the park.
    We could have stayed in and died in the trench. Or we could have retreated and let the superidiots rule. ROFLMAO!

    ‘ “I won’t let you kill us.” The knight screams over hammer strikes of red lightning.

    King Al’Thor ignores him as he consumes the chalice’s power, eyes exploding stars.

    Sword drawn, the knight forces each step towards his Lord, buffered by screaming gales.’

    Then I get hungry and make a sandwich.
    While the truncheon may be used
    in lieu of conversation,
    words will always retain their power.
    Words offer the means to meaning,
    and for those who will listen,
    the enunciation of truth.

    Now there's a new master of the twist ending. O'Henry would be proud.

    Mealtime Grace

    "Shall we say grace before eating?"

    "We normally don't. Just start eating. Besides, we're probably more Hindu than Christian."

    "Ah, so you offer some to the Gods prior to eating?"

    "Uh, no."

    "Hm."

    "But we do give the Gods a chance to eat anything left after we're done."

    family ties

    The ideal place to be is a family weekend.
    It is not a mountain or a hill it is a personal gathering a manicured affair of family members invited to their shows of opinions.
    What more to life then a city full of bright gents and ladies and busy bees of children wondering about their family names looking for a match to catch. familiariaty is what makes humans condescending towards appropriateness. Wild and we are without a shoe nor even a true word to our purse. Lost is an neverland neither free to me or you. Glad that's classified.

    Better Sample

    "I saw a UFO out back."

    "That's nice."

    "They wanted to do some diabolical experiment on me, but they said I wasn't good enough."

    "Why? I think you'd make a fine, random selection of humanity to work with."

    "I told them where you lived."

    Movie Models

    A blonde and her date were drinking at the bar when his phone rang. She's seen the movies. "Don't answer it!"

    "I've got to, baby....Yeah, boss....I'll be...."

    She grabbed his phone and dropped it in his beer.

    There's a long pause.

    Apparently, he hasn't seen the same movies.

    Zop goes Bop Bop!

    A zop went boom-boom with the bing-bong. Zop (who lived at the zoo) took the subway up to cockle-doodle-do. There he found the dawn undressing herself in a beautiful red lingerie...

    When I saw him, the watch on my hand stopped and I said to myself: 'He must be the one.'

    ''nay'' said the slay
    ''more likely to grilled fusion wire under
    a still minutes and
    shrilled until it
    silts.''

    ''very well'' said the cook

    you too to bring
    one each next you
    time you real.
