She told her friends that she thought she loved him. But that there was something she was not sure about. When they met him they could see that.
Contrary to what they imagined, it wasn’t his three legs that bothered her. She listed the advantages for them.
His cartwheels were a thing of beauty.
They were never short of a set of stumps when playing cricket.
He had a stand-in job as a look-alike for the Isle of Man coat of arms.
And the sex, she said, was extremely exciting.
No, it was his other women. Especially those two legged freaks.
The ending made me chuckle. That’s no easy task. Nice twist.
Thanks so much. The notion is that the woman has four legs and that’s the norm. Quite likely that isn’t plain enough though.
Yes, a chuckle and a good twist. I like it.
Thank you, Barry. John
Funny stuff! Really enjoyed reading that.
Thank you, John
Good twist, but after the explanation that the norm was quadrupedal I was left wondering how the foot-faults would work in cricket and how and presumed alien would be familiar with the Isle of Man flag.
That, and in the sentence “He had a stand-in job as a look-alike for the Isle of Man coat of arms.”, either stand-in or look-alike are redundant.
That said, the story (groan) stands on its own as humorous.
Thank you, Perry. You are very kind. John. Not an alien – this is different universe in which our rules do not apply! Apparently!
“His cartwheels were a thing of beauty.” What a line, John. Simple, but it tells the whole story. Great job with this one!
Thanks, Bobby. John
