TAKING A LEAK
Wow, where did this parking-lot puddle….uh, lake come from?? We haven’t had rain in weeks.
We had a big power failure here yesterday, caused by everybody running their air conditioners in this heat wave. Lasted for hours.
Yeah, so??
You know the big party store at the end of the mall? The one who claims he’s got tons of ice for your drinks? After a couple of hours, his dead freezer started to leak. He was yelling at people to take away as much ice for free, as they wanted. Three guys with cartfuls, got that far, in the sun.

By the time you get back with a cooler, you’d need to row a dory to the door.
This is one of my lighter, sillier posts. I’m glad you got a yuk from it. 😆

Dear Archon,
My dad used to tell a story of how when he was a schoolboy in Brooklyn he bought an ice cream bar from the Good Humor man at recess. Alas, the bell rang before he could finish it so he crammed the bar into his pocket. Your guys carrying the ice reminded me of that. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

That would not have been ‘a pocketful of miracles.’ Better to have thrown the uneaten balance away.
The nostalgia is free. Thank you for yet another read and approving comment. 🙂

I’m 500 miles north of you, and it’s still hot up here. A week of 85/90 F. Thanx for the visit. Hope to see you again. 🙂

Too funny! That’s a lot of ice, but it is just about that hot 😉

The weather’s hot, but not my writing. This was the best I could do. Either it, or a one-paragraph joke about a Bible-thumper shop-owner needing to get Jesus to walk on water to bring those carts in. A bit confrontational, especially after the previous Atheist jokes post. 😳

Fortunately, the power wasn’t off at my place. Cold beer and spritzers anytime. 🙂

You’re absolutely right! As a good Scotsman, I have to be careful, and rein myself in – and ask questions.
