where my strange imagination roams free...

Tasty...

,

The elderly couple sat on the park bench, eating their sandwiches and throwing crusts at the pigeons.
"You know something, Betsy," began Donald, "this is the best sandwich I've had in years. It's not particularly nice, but it tastes different, and that ain't so common when you get to our age".
"I know just what you mean, dear. And yet, doesn't it taste somehow familiar?" said Betsy, catching a pigeon in the eye with her last throw.
"Not to me...but I'd like to know what it is. 'Meat paste' sandwich is a little vague".
"Ok, hold on while I finish mine".
A few minutes and two more dazed pigeons later, they began their slow amble along the path towards the sandwich van.
It looked like any other sandwich van - slightly grimy-looking, with a blackboard for the menu and the look of being ready to drive off at the first sign of danger. The sign on the top said 'Sophie's Sarnies'.
They approached the van, and waited patiently for the owner to finish with a customer. Then they pounced.
"Er, miss, we bought one of your sandwiches before..." began Donald.
"...and we were wondering, well, what's in it?" continued Betsy.
"Yes, what's in the meat paste? It's very unusual..." - Donald again.
"...we were thinking maybe kangaroo or dog..." - Betsy again.
"...or even squirrel? Please, tell us!" - Donald yet again.
Sophie finally managed to find a gap in the conversation and squeeze in.
"Listen, do you really want to know? It's not your usual kind of meat".
Donald and Betsy looked at each other.
"Yes!" they said in unison.
"We don't really care what animal it is, or how or where you got it, but we're curious nevertheless" explained Donald.
Sophie quickly checked to see if anyone else was around.
"Ok then. It's human meat".
Their eyes went wide.
"Specifically, lawyer".
They relaxed.
"Oh, that explains the bitter aftertaste!" said Betsy.
"Yes, and the slightly slimy texture" added Donald, "I don't suppose you have journalist or politician?".
"Not yet, I'm afraid. Come back in a couple of weeks and I should be able to sort you out"
"Will do. Well, see you"
They walked off. Sophie watched them for a moment, then looked at the blackboard menu. Then she shook her head. "No, that's a bit much, even for me..."

lollol love that lil twist.. bigsmile Your post showed up as a double on my watch list so I thought you wrote a story with alternate endings..

theoddbod Monday, July 2, 2007 11:02:59 PM

I started writing it a couple of days ago as a Private post and tried to change it today to a real one with the current date. It refused to appear in the blog so I reposted it as a new one - probably confused everybody's watches. Did one say "Tasty!" and the other "Tasty..."? That was the only difference.

theoddmissusfunz81 Monday, July 2, 2007 11:33:54 PM

theoddmissusfunz81 Wednesday, July 4, 2007 3:11:27 PM

theoddbod Wednesday, July 4, 2007 3:54:59 PM

That would be Opera Mini refusing completely to work correctly irked

theoddbod Wednesday, July 4, 2007 11:25:18 PM

Well, i've cleaned up the flood at last. I hope they're adding new servers for Mini soon.

H82typ Saturday, July 7, 2007 3:57:22 PM

I am firmly convinced that Mini is a woman, Mart!left
A friend had a '70 VW Bug, he swore it would not go into reverse unless you said, "Mutter, bitte," first! Perhaps we should do something similar with Mini.lol
   Oh, the reason I made this comment: Nice writing, Mart! I'll be a regular.

theoddbod Saturday, July 7, 2007 4:02:10 PM

I sort of do have something similar - I press stop, utter a favoured expletive, use my phone to disconnect the open connection, and then try again. It usually works.

Another regular? yes Even if I think you voted for 'scare the children'...

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, July 7, 2007 4:19:49 PM

That's my method Mart. mad Thief!

theoddmissusfunz81 Saturday, July 7, 2007 4:28:40 PM
