Bones Gives A Hotfoot |

Bones is outside the Paradise Lounge. He spots a former client walk into the restaurant. The Paradise has nice tables, with fine white tablecloths. This client gave Bones a particularly rough time. He beat Bones like a dog. Bones stands outside the lounge. He waits until his former client gets up to take a leak. Bones dives under the table the clients sitting at. Bones has some big strike anywhere matches in his pocket. He waits under the table until the client sits down. Bones shoves two of the matches between the client’s sole and upper leather shoe, and lights the matchs. The client gets up, and starts hopping around the lounge like a wild man, causing consternation for the lounges other patrons. The police are called. Bones sneaks out, and laughs his head off.

Thanks Paul, I'm pleased it made you smile. I don't think strike anywhere matches are legal anymore. So no more hotfoots. Bobby |

I've never actually known the particulars of the art of "The Hotfoot." Thanks BJ, I'll tuck this away in my arsenal. |

Thanks dear Serenity blaze, For reading and commenting. Yes, that's the way it's done. Of course the more matches you can manage to get in there, the better. Don't try this at home, or with oily or flamable plastic shoes. Love Bobby |

Strike anywhere matches rock. I used to take them hunting. Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |

Paul, Yes they do. I will have to find out if they are still avaliable. I've just discovered they are avaliable. You can get them through Amazon. I used to enjoy striking them on my pants. That was tough! Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (12-21-2008 08:49 PM).] |
