For Friday Flash 55
MONDAY MORNING
“I was so traumatised by the ordeal of my kidnapping, I was unable to do my homework.”
“Do you expect me to believe that?”
“It’s true.”
“Do I look gullible?”
“Dunno what that word means.”
“Go and look it up then.”
“No point.”
“Why?”
“It’s the only word that doesn’t appear in the English Dictionary.”
Ha!, sounds like a conversation my 3 teens would be having.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane; So what DOES it mean?
ReplyDeletereally?
ReplyDeleteLet me clean up an old saying "You can't 'poop' an old turd". However, kids always think they can. Great 55. My 55 is HERE .
ReplyDeleteI looked it up...
ReplyDeleteYou Are Right!!
Excellent 55 Stan,
Thanks for playing today. Are you celebrating the Fourth?
Have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
Thanks to:
ReplyDelete5thsister; Check if you don't believe...
Monkey Man; It's part of the fun of growing up.
G-Man; I thought you knew it all.
I celebrated the first - will do so second and third. The Fourth...? I don't need any excuse.
So I'm either gullible or you have a great grasp of the English language and what's missing
ReplyDeletethanks for the visit Stan!!!
Okay, now I have to go look it up. Conversation sounds familiar to me. Hmmm. I work in a school! D
ReplyDeleteThanks to:
ReplyDeleteMoondustwriter; Imagine checking and finding out it really isn't there...?
Donetta; You must have heard them all.
I remember such conversations well :-)
ReplyDeleteTeachers must live to hear the excuses kids come up with for not doing their homework. And, gullible is in my dictionary. Was I gullible in suspecting it wasn't?
ReplyDeleteOkay I had to look it up as well :) Loved this. Very well done my friend. Have a great Friday :)
ReplyDeletehaha. dont know if i would rather be the fool for believing or the fool who goes and checks...nice 55.
ReplyDeletehave a great weekened!
Thanks to:
ReplyDeleteAnthony; Don't we all?
Peter; It's an old one but still works, apparently.
Thom; I never have done, so I still don't know for sure.
Brian; I'm sure a kid who never does his homework wouldn't be smart enough to think of this one.
Ha! I'm sure that teachers here it ALL! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd of course i meant "HEAR". Yikes, it's early and I need coffee. :)
ReplyDeleteTalking about old jokes... Here's a 1600BC joke:
ReplyDelete"How do you entertain a bored pharaoh?
Sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile - and urge the pharaoh to go fishing."
They don't tell them like that any more! my 55 here
Thanks to:
ReplyDeleteMe; Here Here... or is it Hear Rear...?
John; Only on the Nile...
Touché - reminds me of my son - never had kidnapping as an excuse but all kind of imaginative things that come close to it.... ;=)
ReplyDeleteThanks Claudia; Wait till you hear my excuse for next week!
ReplyDeleteYou have me grabbing my dictionary.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alice; I don't have one - none of the words I use are in there.
