I didn't read your story with great interest. The oddity of the conversation keeps your reader interested. Was kind of lost near the end, however. Best to you in the contest.

    Thanks from another Brooklynite for your comments on my story, V! I'm glad it held your interest, and wish you had held on for the punch lines.

    I apologize. I didn't mean to write "I didn't." I should have read, "I read yours story with great interest." I am so sorry for that blunder. Was in a meeting, so I will go back and read it again.

Hi there,

Nice enjoyable piece here. Funny too. I think this would have done well in the 'laugh out loud' prompt.

the pail is empty - The.

but by next week you won't even remem...

- the use of ellipsis is more synonymous with trailing off rather than interruption. the ahs is probably better for this purpose.

That not the same thing - That's.

Yeah, lIke when the new church - like.

All the best

    Your compliments and sharp eye for spags are appreciated, GMG! Very nice of you!! I agree with you on the use of ellipses, but I don't understand what you meant by indicating interruptions with "ahs." ?? Ordinarily, I use (INTERRUPTS), but that's not permitted in this contest. Thanks for the tips!
