All Comments on 'Best Laid Plans'

It's just a clever vignette folks. Don't look for Poirot to figure it out. Just enjoy the little smile at the end.

It would be interesting to know if he really deserved such a lack of love and compassion on the part of the two kids and his wife. Especially the idea that he would do something untoward, but then maybe he did??

Very enjoyable! Thanks!

Nice twist - well done!

Love it when someone intends to drop a bomb and they step on a landmine on the way.<P>Beautiful

Right to the Chase. I love the way Husband and Father got everyones Attention.

and made them Realise what Sorry Asses they were.

Another Chapter of how The Worm Turns would be Beneficial.

Needs more attention to detail, can be remedied with another chapter. Or is this supposed to be one of those "Flash Story" pieces of crap. Please! Give up on this "Flash" story bullshit, it just makes you look like you were too lazy, or lacked the creativity to write a complete story.

This is a good and very funny (in a way) story. You have to tell us about the divorce from his wife and hopefully the permanent separation of the two ingrates that call them selves his children...what slime.

A short, quick and to the point story. She expressed her formerly secret feelings of dislike for him, her desire to be with another and she was finished - right now.

Why invlove the kids, that was overkill for this story! You could have then spent some time talking, a little, about how she had treated him, his knowledge of her plans and his preparation to surprise her and - here's an idea...after she gets off the phone with lover, she answers the door and is served her divorce papers (adultery) and a sheriiff presents her with a restraining order from the premise and hubby along with immediate eviction notice. Gosh, a truck, two men and a woman are also there with boxes to help her move within the hour.

Maybe, you could do a chapter 2 or

Epilogue?

Short quick and a nice twist.

Keep it up.

Normally, I am not an Anglophile about humour, but every once in a while a story comes along that properly tickles some fancy spot on my funny bone. This Best Laid Plan in some way reminds me of a story here about six month ago or thereabouts. It was called something on the order of Everyman Needs a Shed as in a place where he can escape from his wife. The laughs in this story are subtle and charming, I love it.

wow, an idiot writer that lives in fantasy land and listen to the idiots that hate everybody lauding his silly story.

oh for fuck's sake what fucking crap.

Great read!!! "Thank You"

Short and sweet is the name of his game!

....with some retwisting???

It's so easy to turn slimy people against each other. All you have to do is create some conflict and they will blame each other. His wife and kids all deserve each other's poor company. Although I think it would be pretty easy to backtrack to the legal office and prove that the papers she presented were fakes.

glad he wasnt a pussy

So nice to finally see a smart and clever man in these stories.

More like this please!

- Loving Wives and mean are incompatible

This was certainly original. So the husband already knew everything, and was very resolute in severing all ties with his family. He'll probably miss them after all's said and done, but they kinda deserved it. They're way too mercenary, ugh.

This characters way of handling this situation might be illeagel, But having said that this story line has been done to death by others and it was refreshing to see the different way this character handled it. Loved it, keep up the good work.

its more of a flash, but it works.

Nice one DD. Keep the stories coming.
