Yep, a big one-teethed laugh for this fine beefsteak of a short story; a slight tang of black humor on the outside, butter-soft to chew over the word plays, and bloody absurd to its core garnished with a Texan-sized gulp of BBQ sauce made of bright blue gags - and they even rhyme.
Now, how to get that permanent marker off my teeth?
Thanks for this brilliant piece of humor, worth many re-reads.
***I Remember them and that a cute 750 worth of a story!! Thanks for sharing.
I took my French Woman to Texas once. She saw a menu offering "Freedom Fries" and never returned
Very funny. Five stars from me. But Ricardo doesn't sounds french (i am french), it sounds spanish or mexicain.
Anon Commenter; I appreciate you taking the time to comment and let me know that you were amused by this little story and the 5 star review. I also appreciate your astute observation that the original name used for the Frenchman didn't sound proper. I agree. At your suggestion I had resubmitted the story with a name that I believe sounds more in character for our Frenchman who mosied to Texas. --Sandy
