All Comments on 'Dear Prudence'

A well-constructed, neat little story. Thanks HDK. I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

This is an example of imagination really running wild. Great story ability and enjoyed reading this story and the twist in the end.

Expect more from you.

I loved it!

he should have said slick slick slick!

I do like sure thing bets! He played those losers like a fiddle.

Fun read, hdk!

HDK, I don't know anyone else that writes this type of story like you. Even though I had an idea of where you were going by the middle of the story, I loved the ride. You my friend have a wonderful imagination!

I alway love your stories wish we had more writers like you.

It wasn't till Dirk entered the room that I got the idea of where you were going with this story.

Very funny tongue in cheek humor here. And a funny read. We needed the humor around here!

-Risq

no wonder your my fave author in this site. such imagination. always interesting.

thanks.

Maybe I have read too many of your pieces and have begun to know how your mind works, but I realized early on that the Prudence at the party was the wife of the boss. The careful wording of the reply to the remarks about her name was the give-away that something there was crucial, I think.

Oh! That was good so good and down right mean but hey it's a dog eat dog world. May the best man win and Dirk should ditched his own Prudence since she was the real loose slut just after a few drinks (Of course we could only imagine that scenario since she was in THAT room with THAT Steve.)

Real nicely done and funny another one of the good Loving Wives submission without the wives fucked another man and those authors who wrote such stories think they were writing masterpiece. NO SHIT!

I have often wondered how you can write such engaging and entertaining stories in only 2 pages. Now you are down to only using one.

Thanks for the tale.

Need I say more?

It was easy to figure out when he talked to the second guy. And reading the whole thing only to find there was no sex was even more disturbing. And what woman says "...her enhanced breasts"?

this should be in the humor section.

enjoyed it very much.

Mike from Texas

Very well written and an enjoyable read. I did think that it ended too abrubtly, as if you had someplace to be and just shut the door so to speak. But overall, loved the style and imagination.

Loved it. It was Just BULLY!!!!!

I am not sure about two woman being named Prudence... his wife at home and the boss's wife both being named Priudence?

oh what the hell.... great story

with friends like this pimp, you do not need enemies.

you ask him to escort your wife to a party, to protect her as an old friend, because you will be late; and find out he has been making bets who can violate her behind both your backs!

so his enemies are gone now, but i hope Mr. Mumford finds out what happened and kicks his pimping ass out the door too.

I barely made it thru paragraph 5 before I gave it up

HDK,

I don't know where you come up with these ideas but I hope it's a never ending stream. You are very funny most of the time, and you accuse me of having as warped a sense of humour as you? You sir are the master!

Funny and well-told. Thanks.

Oh thats so good and funny having Mike say to steve that she was mikes wife was incredible i cracked up finding out that his wife was never there in the first place.

Nice job HDK:)!!!

My laughter and the noise of the downfalling has woken up my whole family.

Thank you for this very amusing story. I must read some parts again to understand, because my english is not very well. Now I understand and grin ...

Prudence after all means not only the exercise of sound judgment in practical affairs but also foresight. Therefore, for lack of prudence in dealing with Prudence they had to be kicked out ASAP…

Witty funny and surprising as usual.

Oh you bad boy. you had a typo. ruinrd the entire story, blahm blah, blah.

Sorry HDK. Just making fun of yhe anal commeters.

GREAT STORY. It's amazing how some writers can tell so much with so little while others just go on and on with nothing said

I thought he has a point. I thought for a minute or so and changed my mind. It was not Mike's fault that the bosses wife drinks too much and then misbehaves. You are responsible for your own actions. If the Bozo had spiked her drink with Mike's knowledge, he should have been on the firing line. The bosses' wife should know how to control her drinnking and if she gets smashed at every party, the boss needs to know and get her some help.

It must have been a small office with close intermingling for one manager to know the name of another managers wife in such a short time.

I love it when a plot comes together. Good stuff! Thank you and keep it coming, please.

Keep up the good work. you always seem to have good story lines and reasonable outcomes.

Grabbing her breasts doesn't seem too much of a jump at a party, but it came to a decent end before outstaying its welcome.

Really not funny, kind of clever, but to what end. Should be listed under non-erotic.

Nobody does the surprise twists like HDK! I could tell part way through the story that something was up, but unlike some apparently clairvoyant readers I didn't guess it until the end. Beautifully done!

I also re-read it carefully, to see whether HDK perhaps cheated us a little by saying something misleading. There's misdirection, but it's all very carefully done. For example, the hero worries about losing his bet with Tom, but never worries about losing his initial bet (which we understand at the end of the story is a sure thing, since his wife is in another city).

All we can say is, Thanks for another great story--and when is the next one coming?

ohio

As usual, an excellent story - short and to the point. You are simply amazing in most of your stories.

HDK,

and as usual, well told. I see the grumpy trogs of the infamous Brotherhood of the Anonymous got their usual licks in but to all who read your stories with anticipation you've done it again. Thank You. Ronnie W.

Always like your stories and this another good one, great twist.

I began to get the suspicion when he became a little worried about Prudence. Mumfords timing at arriving at the party couldn't have better!

Easy thousand but won't Mumford be mad that he didn't take better care of Prudence??

short and sweet, great job!

Good job. Patience and brains is what you used to make this story's twist so much fun.

I liked it. I kind of had you pegged midway through the tale as Mike didn't seem too upset. Great little twist.

It would have been good to get more of the details of what Dirk found and what he did...

But this was sweet.

I am not imaginative, as you had me hook line and sinker.

Thank you again for such fun and entertainment.

PT

imagination at its best!

Truly a droll story! Congratulations.

SimpleTom

Great story with a nice twist at the end. Loved the hell out of it!

That was GREAT never even saw that one coming. THANKS

HAR HA HA! Me loved it long time

Third time reading this, First time voting, sorry, I love it every time I read it. Very smooth with a great bite at the end. Very well done. Thank you. Jim in AB.

boy what a friend said:

"you ask him to escort your wife to a party, to protect her as an old friend, because you will be late"

where the hell did that come from?

did anon read the story? All he did was offer to help her with her coat. Escort? Reminds me of my highschool lit days. How much can you read into a Shakesperian play.

This enhanced story sticks out a bit awkwardly in spots, and the punchline doesn't quite slip under the radar, but nevertheless it is a very smooth and engaging read - well done!

I had a girlfriend named Prudence once and I still have some fond memories of her.

It's a fact...hate em or admire them...players are very successful with women.

I don't like them personally and never have, but they do make great villains!

I rated it 5*****.

Deduced means to logically arrive at a conclusion, past tense. The two were confused in this story.

When an arrogant asshat gets his just reward -

Yes sir - a prudent man checks his facts first and uses clear language - a fool steps on his own dick lol.

Any chance you get to fuck with the fuckheads and also win money is a good day.The assholes were played like a violin.

HA HA

Just read this a second time after reading it a while ago...something about this story just hits you in the feel good area...what can I say except...I Liked it.

Sweet story. Would have loved to see the guy fired. Thanks.

Now that is a really clever man. give the jerk enough rope, let him tie the not, ask him to step forward. THANK YOU

Nice! Only problem for me was Barry leaving the room at the end and then having the phone passed to him. Confusing.

Even though it was predictable in the extreme after the first few paragraphs, it was still fun.

if only all jerks could get so screwed. thanks

make sure you know the rules and the stakes TK U MLJ LV NV

ANd nice twist at the end.

circa 1950's: "When you sit down at a Poker table, if you do not know who the mark is. Buddy the mark is you."

circa 1940's: Traveling salesman gets off a train, late at night in a small town. Finds a taxi and as they head for the hotel, he noticed there was no one else out and all the shops were dark. The traveler had slept on the train and was feeling restless. Not eager to be stuck in a hotel room, he leans over and asks the cabbie if there is any action this late at night.

"Well, not really, this town rolls up the sidewalks by ten."

"Come on! There's gotta be something, even here in hicksville."

"Well, I dunno. There usually a crap game going till midnight behind the truck stop. But Hell Mister, it's a rigged game to catch the truck drivers gassing up."

"Lemme drop my suitcase and sampler at the Hotel and then take me over to the game."

"Shit Mister. That game is as crooked as a congressman!"

"Hey, if it's the only game in town, I'm good to play."

I'd have loved to hear what happened when Dirk walked in on Steve and Prudence!

Like @KarenE I think the best scene wasn't writen....Good story...

won't you come out and play

Any man who can permanently remove his rival while taking him for 500 bucks and tapping his retiring boss for another 500 AND making his wife happy, deserves the promotion.

Only question is, if he's THAT good at playing the game of life, why does he need a wife that is admittedly "a bit of a slut"???

Is she? A slut that is.

Steve had enough wrong preconceived notions about Mike's wife Prudence that could easily be one more.

Maybe all he heard was that Prudence was a slut.

Obviously some people have trouble comprehending what they read. The guy asked if his supposed wife was a slut, no one said she was. But then no one said that the boss's wife was a slut either. I thought it was a good story about how some people just go too far, after all who in their right mind actually tries to make someone who dislikes them actually hate them while at the same time giving them a reason to go all nuclear on their ass?

Sorry to have offended you guys.

Perhaps I should have put smiley faces on what was to be a light hearted comment.

So here. :o) ^_^ d8^D etc., and so forth.

Hey kjohns2001. Are there any authors and stories you HAVEN'T favorited.

:o) ^_^ d8^D etc., and so forth.

the set up was fantastic. this took some planning, and understanding.

You have to love this story, I sure do! A lot!

I didn't see that one coming 😃 !

I honestly never saw this coming. I hope Steve gets to drink his meals through a straw for a few weeks and his sidekick Barry gets transferred to Cleveland. I got a great laugh from this one.

Did'nt see that coming. ... great little story.

What a delight that girl Prudence, do be. Okay, you get my five-hundred, oops, it's only five. Loved your getting this together like you did with the big boss.

but you should know the name of the horses. TK U MLJ LV NV

Best twist ever.

that was one fucked up bet, I'm so happy that Mike won the bet, an hopefully that Mike's wife isn't too upset with hubby, it seems to me that the author cut this story a little too short, I would like able to read all of the details of what happend, such as what did Mr Mumford do to Steve, is he in jail or the hospital, was Stevie-boy just groping her tits or buried balls deep inside her, did Mike collect on his bet with the soon to be retired manager, did he tell his wife about the 2nd bet, what will he do with money he won, buy sum thing for the wife, or just give her the cash, so in the future can u please make sure u tie up all of the lose ends, other than that it gave me a shit-eating grin when we found at that Stevie-boy was fooling around with the new bosses wife, an not Mike's wife, I just hope that bosses wife isn't in too much trouble.

... but still funny as all hell.

5/5 (even for being obvious - it was still fun)

The wife got at least $500 of the bet

You played that one nicely, but I agree with Charliegutzache ... would be nice to tidy up all those loose threads!

Five stars for the laughs! Thanks!

Great twist at the end - loved the story!

Slick-Stick Steve is Sunk.

Nicely set up. 4 stars and an Emergency First Aid Kit.

Would have been better with some info on the discovery and fall out.

..as I said....brilliant and funny

lmfao

great story !!!!!!

...you got me, great story. Would have liked to read what happened when the boss walked in on them. 5 stars. Thanx!

Loklie

How could he lose the bet with Barry,it isn't his wife,so Barry automatically loses.Also why wasn't Mike's wife at the party?.

Good story. I didn't see it until he started talking about the boss.

Didn't see that coming, as Steve, Barry and the soon to be ex-Mrs Mumford were also caught out. Great little flash!

"By ten o'clock, I began to have doubts. Prudence and Steve were dancing every slow dance. She was showing signs of being under the influence of the alcohol she had consumed, as well as Steve's line of bullshit. Mumford was no where to be seen and more than a few of the party-goers were beginning to mutter. It's so hard to kiss an ass that can't be found.

I lost sight of Prudence around 10:30 and really started to worry. It could turn out to be a very expensive night for me. I'd have to give Tom a check to cover the bet with him."

With his wife not there, there was no way that Mike could do worse than break even on his bets. Breaking even is not "a very expensive night" nor would it result in Mike having to give Tom a check. Suggesting that was wrong and misleading.

Well done. Always something good to read when I go to your catalogue.

Hooked

Too sweet, I was rooting for something like that. Wouldn't mind a blow by blow description of the encounter between Mumford and Steve.

Your story certainly put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing.

One of the funniest things that I have read in LW.

I knew it was going to be the boss wife.

I love it when karma bites an asshole. I loved how you developed the story. The ending was GREAT!

His own stupidity did him in.

Always a fun read! Love the quick pacing and sense of humor. Please sir, can we have some more? LOL

Killian

That's a really nasty get even job tho the guy is a jerk. Just what a loudmouth deserves.

What is to stop Steve and Barry from telling Dirk that Mike used Prudence as an unknowing honey trap? Mike stood by and watched her plied with alcohol and hit on all night. Yeah, she could shut it down at any time but she WAS used as a sexual pawn in a stupid game. Most husbands are pretty protective of their wives. Dirk is going to promote Mike after that? Seems like a pretty giant plot hole to me. Honestly, Mike deserves to have his ass kicked right along with Steve.
