Congratulations on the win for this competition.
I enjoyed this tale of the obnoxious etiquette experts. I am pretty sure I have net them.
Very well written and humorous.
Nicely done.

I think we've all met them. Thanks.

This is a very well written piece. Descriptions of the ladies and the tome set made you feel like you were right there. Felt sorry for the waiter.
Guess the ladies don't practice what they preach?
Blessings in the contest. LaVonne

The waiter had the class and the manners. Thanks.

The last line explains why the women received first-rate service. Delicious irony- contrast of bad behavior and etiquette column. Especially love the reference to dentures. LOL

Funny how the experts sometimes don't have a working knowledge of the very thing they teach. Thanks.

Glad to see your entry is tops so far.

They should have been paying more attention to what they wrote in the column. Good touch of humour, well written dialogue, and it read well. Good twist to the tale Enjoyable read and good luck in the contest.

Now this flash entry gave me a good chuckle. Great use of an unexpected story line. Your character development was excellent and I would say that the ending was a shocker to me. Great job... and good luck in the contest. This entry is a definite contender.

Good job keeping the surprise all the way to the last sentence. I did not know what surprise was going to be in store for me. Thank you. Good contest entry.

Comment from Judy Couch
I loved the ending. It made me laugh. Writers of an etiquette column who don't know how to behave in public. You told it well and held my attention.

Comment from michaelcahill
This is perfection. I'm pretty sure I know who this is. Not many here write this well. I think this is as true to life as can be. What a scream and I was indeed surprised by the ending. But then I laughed at myself cause I should've have seen it coming! Great job. Can you imagine how big my ego would be if there weren't people like you to knock it down a peg or two from time to time? Ha! mikey

Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens
Now that was a surprise! Good luck in the contest. I would have thought a little arsenic would have cured the situation, or lots of cayenne to really give them something to complain about. But to discover they were writers of an etiquette column... Never.
Well done, Carolyn

Comment from Dawn Munro
LOL - figures. They're the rudest, most demanding people on the planet, aren't they? I'm still giggling, but to tell you the truth, I honestly think there are a lot more courteous folk out there than there are ones like these three. Too cute - I loved it. (Can I play the part of the one with the Dolly Parton hair? I always wanted to try being a blonde...LOL)
What an entertaining flash! I enjoyed it immensely. Best of luck in the contest.
