Hehe. Poor Smuckatelly. How embarrassing that would have been. I'm glad the problem went away! But too bad he endured all of that for nothing. Well done with the flash story.

True story? Ick! Doesn't sound like the kind of exam anyone would want. Glad only men get those. If you were dropping green bombs, maybe you ate too much spinach. :)

Never figured out what caused it. I don't eat spinach. Thank you for reading and reviewing my work.

This is a great little flash fiction. 'Snapped on the rubber glove'. I really liked that phrase. It was so discriptive. Great punchline too. I think it will do well in the competition. Cheers. Jen.

This ultra-concise piece is well-written and humorous--for one READING about the poor guy's experience. I have friends and family members who would cringe because of their own experiences--then probably smile. LOL! :)

A very well-written true story flash fiction it is the same when we have a bad cough, the medicine taste so bad you stop coughing immediately in fear of getting more medicine.

Absolutely hilarious, both the doctor and your hero Smuckatelly got into a tight situation and he did not have to get medical help after all. Well written and wish you the very best.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Too funny! And it actually brings back memories of the time we made a Halloween cake which was covered in black icing! Turned out everyone had "bright green" poop! Turns out, black food coloring does the trick... but, as with Smuckatelly, all's well that ends well... After a week, it goes away! Adorable flash story!

Pretty droll humor. Love the name of the character and his predicament. I bet if he could "loosen up," he wouldn't have needed a doctor in the first place. Very short, to the point, and quite funny. Good entry for the contest... ...ec

Spinach, maybe? Overdosing on chlorophyll? Green peas? Oh dear; poor Smuck and poor doc. I'm not surprised it fixed itself. Probably frightened the crap out of him. Um.

This was a funny true story about a rectal exam, which isn't funny when
it's happening to you. The story flows very well. I hope you do well in the contest. Good luck
