Hi LisaMay. You're going to have to do better than this guy. Again I say, you do a great job with your play on words. These are very clever but you need to leave this guy alone. I don't think he has a good outlook on life. Robert

I am enjoying looking up the information just as much as writing the 50-word stories. I am learning so much about the animals.

You are teaching us to lazy to research.

Well, if I do it then you don't have to and you can keep being lazy. Sweet as!

Not lazy just old.

You're getting quite good at this - finding more and more ways to change a word to mean something else - Ilike the "egypt" - I'm on my husband's computer so can't do long ones. best so get dressed for the day. good job.

Thanks for your comments. I hope you're having a great day.

I'm gagging at this one, Lisa May. I bet that it was fun to write. I actually never knew much about dung beetles. I just never thought much about how dung impacted their lives. You definitely can find a better beau. You don't need to be swayed by that Egyptian crap.

Definitely a gag-worthy 'boyfriend'... Maybe I could have said he kept playing gags on me. These little beetles are wonderful poo movers.
Comment from tfawcus
Just goes to show that you need to wear dungarees when you're out in the paddock. Wonderful little beasties, these, though not the most hygienic of boyfriends. Not afraid to get their hands dirty, though.

They are potty-mouthed little poo movers. They don't mind getting their hands dirty, and their feet, and their backs...
Comment from juliaSjames
You two lacked a social life. Should have introduced him to rock and roll. Or read the Scarabian nights together. This is such a creative write, LisaMay. And the author notes are fascinating.
My grandkids like most children adore scatalogical humour. They would give you six stars just for "poo".

A very well-written fifty-word dating advice. I do like a hardworking man but he should not stink like his work when we go out to dinner for a descent meal together.

That's right! He should at least wash his feet if he's been treading poo all day.
Comment from humpwhistle
Well, you can't get much lower than a dung beetle--on the social ladder, at least. Egypt a tooth? That's a pun worthy of Groucho Marx. I'm guessing the hardest part of this series is reaching exactly 50 words?
Peace, Lee

Thanks for reviewing, Lee. Yes, the hardest part is trying to link the bits of references into a cohesive story. Sometimes they are rather staccato - tight editing to make the 50. So absorbing and challenging to be one word over or under then think how to contract or expand or rework.These stories are sharpening up my editing skills.
Someone suggested they should be 100-word stories, but I think they would be laboured then and readers would get sick of them (and I would too).
-
I agree. 50 words works. L

It's long enough to get a couple of groaners in.

Well, of course we never did the dirty deed - his feet were too smelly for starters, and I never kissed him - he had a potty mouth.

Laughing again...

Well, I was thinking 'how low can I go'... dung it! Why not that busy little beetle? Of course I never kissed him - he had a potty mouth.
