LOL!! That Chuck would have made a brilliant Prime Minister in the UK, we believe all our MPs are trained to come up with great stories to hookwink us! Three times in one night, that's really amazing. I used to be good at getting out of trouble with my parents when I was a teenage - well, sometimes! The descriptions in the excuses were fabulous, and the police believed him? Lol. I loved this one, Liz! It should win story of the month! :)) Sandra xxx

Haha what a quick thinker Chuck was those three times. It seems the group would have just gone home after the first time, but no they wanted to press their luck. Chuck was great at making up ridiculous stories -except for the brain issue one--that one could have been believable by most anyone.
Respectfully, Jan

Funny, fun tale. Each of these, with a little enhancement, could have been a short story unto itself. But then it would not have proven the point, that Chuck's story-telling skills were immaculate. I also very much like the idea that he thinks he tells a story well while punctuating each sentence with the word "so". I kind of wanted the story to go on after their escape. It felt like you ended in a hurry. How did they respond to his little ruse? I do like how you relate the tale in Chuck's voice. I thought the ice-cream shop fiasco and its accompanying explanation for Jimmy's behavior was hysterical. Though it was part of Chuck's character, too many "so's". Thanks for the believable laughs.

    Thanks! Thrilled you liked the story.

    Stop by anytime! Cheers. LIZ

I absolutely love this story and the artful dodger Chuck. The story is so well crafted with turns and Chuck's improvisations. Jimmy sounds like quite a character. Well done.

    Thank you--but the incremental payout above 1.00 is not worth the extra expense--pumps are 2.95 per penny!

Oh what a story. Chuck should be on this site too - his whole life is one story after another with imagination and creativity in spades!! He is certainly quick-thinking. Really enjoyed this fun write. Looking forward to the next.

Can you guys be dubbed 'Juvenile delinquents? whatever does that word mean technically? I would just say you guys had the gift of gab. Words are powerful! I tried to be one, but.....let's forget it! Very interesting story. Full of action!:) Thanks for sharing!

Wow! And now I'm really wondering how much you really massaged the story and how much was really true! I thought you were the storyteller. Is Chuck equally good at coming up with stories on the spur of the moment to evade the police three times in one night?

Comments:
and so the cop to lets us go. (too? as in also?)
At luck would have it, (As)

Hey! I think I knew this guy's twin back in high school! Designated driver and astute designated dodger of truth telling!

And why is everyone of these kind of "dudes" love to start every new addition to their youthful accounts with "So,". . .

...."Hysterical!

Couldn't help myself.

Had to pump this one up a bit!

Funny-bone fiction. My favorite!

    Thanks for the compliment! Still, bear in mind the incremental increase in payout is costly--$2.95 to pump each penny past $1.00.

Your friend Chuck leads a colourful life and his stories are inventive as he thinks on his feet to try and avoid confrontation as him and his mates cause havoc wherever they go, a fun read Elizabeth, you made me laugh, love Dolly x

Your Chuck certainly provides ongoing chuckles. Humorous story regarding his ability as regards 'cow-patty piling'. In your hands the manure is very slick.
