Cold Shoulder

Admiral Gorton took Helen aside. “We’re shipping out tomorrow to storm Hamilton Beach around the West Bend. This may be our last night together.” He tried to kiss her, but she rebuffed him. “I’m no Speed Queen,” she protested. Gorton frowned. “It’s the Samsung you sing every time,” he said. “Can’t you see I’m a Hungry Man?”  “It’s always about you and your Eggo!” she retorted.

    Much gasping, fanning and clutching of pearls here.

    Is Admiral Gorton also a fisherman?

    Beautiful story, Mike.

      Yeah, he was promoted from Fisherman to Admiral in one step, which seems fishy to me. I never did trust the Gorton’s Fisherman.

    Hysterical laughter. I am now getting ads from End of the Roll with the catch phrase “get a room” contest. I guess a fridge doesn’t count.
