Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This fifty-word story, Blind Date Favor To A Former Friend, has a funny play on words that makes the satire even funnier. Hint: Women don't have penises.

Thanks for bringing me up to date on that, Bill. ;-) Actually, I covered three bases on that issue, letting the reader decide between them. Either the narrator was so turned off by the hirsuteness of his otherwise lovely guest, or he was not, and they went out for a Big Mac. Or, (considering your concerns ) he couldn't help noticing their anatomical similarities, and offered her an alternative way to get acquainted.

But now that I know there may be others , including some voters who think that is a flaw in the story, and it may be too late in the game to reassure them, I think I may add an author's note to cover home plate.

Thanks for your terrific compliments , Empty! It's especially rewarding to know that it made you laugh, because most of my writing is (supposed to be) humor.

A story that short is bound to be an anecdote. The judges were said to bypass stories based on popular jokes. But I am no judge, and an even-tempered crossdresser gave me a grin.

Neither a true story nor based on an existing joke. I wrote it in about an hour this afternoon. It was hard to find an appropriate illustration. I'm glad it generated a grin. That's very flattering! Thanks, Red

I wish I had six stars left to give away. You deserve it for this. So funny. What you did with cross dressing - stunning.

BTW, I personally am a cross dresser. Love those PJs.

Very well done. Best of luck in the contest!

You really must reserve a sixer for the random genius, who should not be denied. ;-)

Thank you ever so much for your wonderful compliments!
(BTW - i almost believed you about the cross dressing.)
