Chris Cole calls this another abberent synapse product of his mind. I call it enjoyable.
Rod Serling, that prolific and creative creator/writer of the classic Twilight Zone series, attributed much of his success in story creation to the habit he had of always keeping a pen and pad of paper on his nightstand next his bed. Then, whenever he awoke during the night and an idea was fresh in his mind, he could quickly jot down some notes and avoid … Read the rest…
I asked the P.U.N.Y. group, “What do you call an Israeli commune that spends most of its time sticking its nose into others folks’ business?”
Almost immediately, SRpunster replied, “Let’s hope for the sake of world peace that the commune doesn’t get attacked. Then we’d have kibutz in bits, kibitz in bits….”… Read the rest…
I received this from Frank Henry of Ireland. A little long, a little contrived, but well worth it. Subsequently, Stan Kegel informed us, “This (with minor variations) is by Isaac Asimov who printed it with the story on how he originally sent it to Ed Fermin, in Asimov Laughs Again. He should be given credit for it.” Thanks, Stan.

Finally, a tenth plague, the death of the first-born male children was inflicted on every Egyptian home, passing over the homes of … Read the rest…
I received this from Linda Wilkinson (aka Blessing) who said, “This hurts so bad that I had to share it with you all. Hugs.” It was originally written by Burt Kettinger.
An old man lived with his hound-dog, Mace, in a run-down shack on the outskirts of town. He had no family and only a few meager possessions: a table and chair, a bed, a bag of hand tools, and his dog. He used the tools to do odd jobs … Read the rest…
From: Chris Cole This is one of several original contributions to the collection that we will see from Chris.
Scene One: Cooking school. The assignment to create a delicious side salad with kidney beans, green beans, and wax beans in a seasoned oil-and-vinegar dressing. The student-cooks begin their work.
Scene Two: Three students Larry, Moe and Curly (soytenly!) get into an argument over the order in which to add each ingredient. Words lead to shoving, which in turn leads to further … Read the rest…
