Jake decided to stop at Coolville, he hoped it would live up to its name.

He was rather hot and bothered since dumping the hitchhikers body.

Have a great weekend......

No Flash Fiction today and I won't be around much until Monday.   We've got the grandchildren again this weekend as my son is still not 100% so I really haven't time to blog.

I'll catch up with you all when I can.

Have a great weekend.

After his father’s death Peter discovered a secret amongst his papers.

Do his patients need to know?

He hadn’t actually qualified as doctor.

Friday 55 Flash Fiction #131 Too Risky....

He slid the note across the counter to the bank teller.

"I've got a gun, put the money in a cash bag and hand it over, no funny business" it read.

Looking him straight in the eye she pressed the alarm button.

"What the f***? he yelled.

"I've changed my mind" she whispered "too risky".

HELGA'S DIARY ON A CRUISE SHIP........

This is for Empress Bee of the High Seas - though I know you would never do anything like this.


DEAR DIARY - DAY 1

All packed for the cruise ship -- all my nicest dresses, swimsuits, short sets. Really, really exciting.

Our local Red Hat chapter decided on this "all-girls" trip.

It will be my first one, - and I can't wait!



--------------------------------------------------------------

DEAR DIARY - DAY 2


Entire day at sea, beautiful. Saw whales and dolphins. Met the Captain today -- seems like a very nice man.



--------------------------------------------------------------

DEAR DIARY - DAY 3

At the pool today. Did some shuffleboard, hit golf balls off the deck. Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner. Felt honored and had a wonderful time. He is very attractive and attentive.

----------------------------------------------------------

DEAR DIARY - DAY 4


Won $800.00 in the ship's casino. Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal complete with caviar and champagne. He asked me to stay the night, but I declined. Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband.



--------------------------------------------------------------

DEAR DIARY - DAY 5


Pool again today. Got sunburned, and I went inside to drink at piano-bar, stayed there for rest of day. Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks.

Really is quite charming. Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night. Again I declined. He told me, if I did not let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship... I was shocked.



--------------------------------------------------------------

DEAR DIARY - DAY 6

Today I saved 1600 lives.


Twice.

“I’ve left you!” Jon, it said.

Jon, her hubby, had told her he was only going planespotting!

Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 130 New Look....

The surgeon carefully removed the face, then sewed on the new one.

He'd done it once before, that had given him the idea.

It was risky but would be worth it.

He needed his new girlfriend to look exactly like his wife.

Then no-one would realise his wife was missing and that he'd murdered her.

The Nymphomaniac Convention

A man boarded an aircraft at London's HeathrowAirportfor New York,and taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a very beautiful woman boarding the plane. He realized she was heading straight toward his seat and bingo - she took the seat right beside him.

"Hello", he blurted out, "Business trip or vacation?"

She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, "Business. I'm going to the annual nymphomaniac convention in the United States."

He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs!

Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?"

"Lecturer," she responded."I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.."

"Really", he smiled, "what myths are those?"

"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.

Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Greek descent.

We have also found that the best potential lovers in all categories are the Irish."

Suddenly the woman became uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said. "I really shouldn't be discussing this with you, I don't even know your name!"

"Tonto," the man said. "Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me Paddy."
