Honesty Creative Challenge #289



After 91 years the elderly gentleman was on his death bed. His wife of 70 years was holding his hand. Finally she blurts out, “Henry, I have to tell you this to ease my conscience. It was during the Great War in 1943, you were away and I was lonely. I was weak and had an affair, twice…”

The old man said “OH! I don’t blame you and I forgive you.”

He let out a long breath and never took another.

As she reached over to close his eyes she said “…once with the baseball team and once with the football team.”

Void



Many years ago I was saddled with the grocery shopping and my list included "Tampax." I was fairly sure what they were but wasn't sure if that was a generic name for the product or a brand name and/or if it made any difference.

 

Having experienced the wrath of one who shouts, “THAT is not what I wanted” and being unable to locate said items and NOT wanting to go home without them, I asked the clerk at the checkout counter where I might find them.

 

Much to my astonishment, she gets on the speaker system and says, “Billy, bring a box of Tampax to check out #4.” If that wasn’t bad enough, “Billy” gets on the speaker system and says, “Do you want the kind you push in with your thumb or drive in with a hammer?”

 

 The temperature in the store now has dropped to absolute zero  usually found only in the void of space where all motion ceases.  Everyone in the store apparently is waiting for her response.

 

When one was not forthcoming, “Billy” gets on the speakers again with, “You DID say thumb tacks, right?”

 

 

It’s been 35 years now … “Billy” is probably a grandfather, but I’m not willing to take that chance.
