Take them bowling

by David

“Why not take them bowling?”

“What? Grant, why would they want to go bowling? They can barely stand!”

“Everybody I know likes bowling.”

“Everybody you know, except me, is in your bowling league. Of course they like bowling.” She kissed him and ruffled his hair.

    Mr. Merkel — now THIS is quality writing. All too often cabal is teetering under the weight of callow & self-conscious storifying, mainly by girls…thank God for you my friend. Please provide some sort of link so that interested persons can actually read more of your writing! Thank you.
