Well done, but there is a small concern you should correct before some of the critics see it. "Be happy too." "Too" should be "to". It seems small, but some may harp about it.

    Hmph? I thought "too" was correct, but I stand corrected.
    Thank you Jim

    Cheers,

    By the way, your tale reminded me of a true story. My wife's brother died in Texas and was cremated. When the ashes were brought here, there was a strange substance mixed with it. She discovered his roommates buried him with his guitar pick.

    Very cool! I told my wife to include my ?98 team signed Yankee bat in my coffin when the time is right.

    I want my cowboy hat there! My brother was buried with a cap, so I don't see why not.

This put a smile on my face. I like how you show us the gullibility of the person visiting this house sale. This was funny and also weirdly a little disturbing! Nice job with so few words.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I am still so blonde, thinking this was a Chinese food post.

But then I realized I was way off track and I laughed and thought, "Oh brother!! Where is that bridge that you have to sell me? The one from California to Hawaii?

This is Genius! I loved this after I caught on, like so many I don't always read the subtitle at first, but did after I looked to see if this was fiction.

And duh, like this would be real? Our John, scamming someone, I don't think so.

But speaking of bridges....did you ever hear about the guy who found a lamp and genie inside on an island and he was given one wish, and the guy asked for a bridge to Hawaii from Calif. and the genie said, even that is not doable for us, look at the dynamics, the impossibilities of the structure, etc..etc.. So you must give me another wish. And the guy says, "Well I never have understood women, why they do what they do, think how they think, and I was wondering ...?? And the genie stops him and says,
"Ok, how many lanes do you want that bridge?" Hahaha!

Great post, dear brotherly friend!! Love ya, Debi

    You?re the best! Did you know that? Your review put a smile on my face, which I needed after four teeth extractions.

    When you started telling me your genie joke, my mind went to Barbara Eden in, I Dream of Genie.
    Do you remember that show?

    So true asking how many lanes???? A much easier task ? don?t hit me!

    Enjoy your Monday, my dear sister.
    Love ya back!

This is funny. It's like if your believe that, I have a lot on the moon I might be interested in selling. I would think if you've seen one pick you've seen them all.

LOL I am pretty sure I've been to this garage sale! I am the proud owner of Dorothy's red shoes from the Wizard of Oz. I would have bought the tin Man's oil can but they wouldn't take a credit card. Darn my luck. Great story.
