Many folk are using basketball PA systems to ask how do you tom write a 100 word story
When I was but a boy my pa took me out in the desert one winter. He asked me if cactus have sharp pointy things? I didn’t like the way this stories way going. I got the feeling there was some deeper moral hiding in an act of stupidity that led to pain.

Well ya take your old trusty Number 6 Whitworth spanner and gently wedge it between the governor and the Simons exhaust manifold.

Well I start with two pieces of wonder beard (crusts trimmed) On one piece I spread an ample layer of mayonnaise to which I sprinkle a fair amount of bacon bits.
