The Device

Let us now join two young teenage boys, talking about a particular girl.

"You know, I don't stand a chance with Jill, as long as Jack's around."

His friend agreed.

"You have to confront him, if you want Jill, and I have a plan."

Young Romeo thought, and said, "If I confront Jack, he will beat me up for sure."

His friend smiled.

"Here is where my plan comes in,"  he said.  "You see, I have this device with a button on it.  When you press the button, it smells like you just had a terrible accident in your pants.  And it works great.  I'm living proof."

After thinking hard for  a whole minute, he agreed to try his friend's device.  After all, he could not think of anything himself.

The very next day after school, with Jill in sight, he confronted Jack.  His anxious friend hid nearby, crouching behind a bush.

He talked and talked to Jack for quite some time.  Then all of a sudden, Jack's hand rose to pinch his nose, and he ran off quickly.

On seeing this, the friend darted from his hiding place towards his successful buddy.  As he reached the young Romeo, his own hands went up to his nose.

"It worked! It worked," he shrieked.

The reply came quickly.

"Your stupid device didn't work!  I had to take things into my own hands."

Well! I am certainly glad you got a kick out of my little short story.  One of my hobbies is writing these little one pagers. Many are of a comical nature, while others are meant to be a bit more serious.  I have compiled over a hundred, and I am trying to figure out how to get them out.  You are my first reader of one on the internet.  Thank you.  Roger

dear poeticplumber,

oh my ^_^* that's... well... disgusting... but funny in it's own right... perhaps you could share some of your other "one-pagers"?

sincerely,
jerome
