Ha Ha, Bob. I laughed out loud. This was very funny. I'm an extra in movies and I've been part of some weird things but this would keep us laughing for too long a time.
I wonder how many takes it would take? I'm still laughing.

That was one of my favorite old jokes many years ago. Lol! I'd forgotten that one. There are some who don't appreciate this sort of post because they think it's not original. I think it's original to this site and more important- it's funny and entertaining. Lol! Well done, Bob.

Thanks, my friend. I appreciate the six stars as well as your comments.Strangely enough, there was no negative comment about the age of the joke?
Comment from Sallyo
Hi Mastery! Good to catch up with your stuff again. This one is great fun. I can just imagine the stunned audience... Extra point for the image of the dead Pekingese. I like dogs a lot, but that description is just perfect.

Oh, I've been posting daily since January. I just hadn't been reviewing
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is quite a feat you have accomplished. I've tried to write with 100 words. I found the math part difficult. As you know it is difficult to get just the right number f words. But then the sentence or concept presented itself one word short. You created a viable character, a good setting, and an amusing plot. You draw the character in to reflect on who they know like Girard. Or they might identify with him. This is fun.

Wow, Bob! I am an actor and not only relate to the truth of that offstage anxiety but also found myself deeply moved by the surprise of the wig. What a journey you take us on. Well deserved first place prize!

It's easy to see why it won way back when. I really wish that you had not used chemo-therapy and its side effects in such a flippant manner, but I guess you have to experience it to understand. Nicely done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Ben1
Ha, it was a great post and surprised me in the ending actually making me chuckle out loud and I don't normally laugh while reading stuff. Good job with the contest. It was a good flash fiction and took creativity liberty by not sugar coating it.

Happy Friday to you sir. I think your name says it all, you definitely have a mastery of words if you can tell a story with so little few of them. I either need to step my skills up or just stop having so much to say. Good job.

Comment from dragonpoet
Not a very good actor is he. He is nervous like most actors probably are before an audition. But to miss his cue so badly after just being told
is not usual for a seasoned actor. I hope he had put his wig back on at least. Maybe he should give up this dream.
Short put action packed story.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
Great flash fiction Bob, and you've certainly ticked off the main character, setting, conflict and resolution with this one. Loved the reference to the wig and the Pekingese. Great finish, certainly had me chuckling, not so the director I'm sure. Loved it,
cheers,
