Misleading us with a photo of a statue of Marilyn. Terry, Terry, Terry; you have NO shame whatsoever. But, it's okay; this time I was onto you. As soon as you used the word "stale," I guessed bread. But that doesn't mitigate what a bad boy you are. tsk. tsk. (But I did like it all the same. Very well done...see what I did there, Terry? That's a cooking term...TWO can be bad-so-bad at this game, after all!) xo

This is nice, but I found myself waiting for the punchline to the misdirection. Like watching an episode of Three's Company. You it isn't what it sounds like from the beginning.

May I suggest. It would be more funny if you didn't list it as humor fiction and it had a sexual warning label on the top.

Terry,

This is a well-written satirical tale of throwing caution to the wind in the midst of an all too familiar scenario that is quite common in personal relationships. I love the twist at the end. It is simply hysterical!!!

A good belly laugh always makes the day a better one.

Cheers,

Eugene

Well there's that old sense of humor... interesting way you lead me on there for a while at least...down the gutter....and then ended with a food reference....which of course, I appreciate!

I must have a dirty mind! Lol, you really had me with this one, Terry. If my mum was still with me, she'd tell me get my mind out of the gutter!!! LOL This was such fun, I would never in a million years have guessed you were talking about cornbread. Well done! :) Sandra xx

Ok, you got me. A fun, creative, and clever read to find that the disagreement between the two was about cornbread when my mind had gone in a totally different direction.
Best wishes,
Mary

Okay -- this is just as funny as it was when you first read it to me!! You do have a way with the words and I feel certain this would have won the dialogue only contest! Good job and a pleasant smile -- which we all need! ann

Eavesdropping where? In a grocery store, farmers' market? This was for sure an unusual reading. It is written-well. I can for sure easily read it.
I'm unsure how the visual fits.

    Hi Sandra, Marilyn was hot, and so was the cornbread! Just for fun. Terry.

OK, pretty suggestive all throughout until the last sentence.

Para 2, 1st sentence: Remove one space between (didn't) and (like)

In my vision of what this little tale is describing I can't for the life of me imagine what they would be using "cornbread" for.

Good one Terry, you got us all, I'm sure.

    Gary, LOL, it was just for fun. The cornbread was for dinner with pinto beans and BBQ. Thanks for the edit. Terry.

Well, OF COURSE we all thought you were talking about something else, lol! Now that we're on the subject of cornbread, I like to add a small can of corn (drained, and the kind that's still a little crunchy) to mine to give it a little texture.

Very clever story - great dialogue. This sounds exactly like a couple having THAT conversation:-)
