Very original. I predict a long and very happy revenge.

Thank you for a very entertaining short!!!

He was nothing but an asshole. Too bad he didn’t die from his cancer. The world would have been rid of one asshole and a better place for it.

Loved it...thanks

Five huge ones from me , now write some more to make that cocksucker mad ! lmfao

The husband forgave her.

He wasn't actually intending to leave Jade after staying with her for another 50 years...

On the old story line of helping a dying man. But really can any women be that dumb that in one meeting they do that?

Good enjoyable story

Great tale!! For all intents and purposes, he is still "married" to her. They're together everyday, do events together, make money together. If this is divorce because of her "stupidity", I'll have a double helping.

A nice happy ending...will he ever kick her out?? Ha Ha!

Yes... I'm gong to make her orgasm her brains out every day... that will teach her! Love it. I need to find revenge in my life ;)

Not really sure what the long game is but I’m glad for one thing...it’s over.

Personally I find murder to be worse than adultery and more than a little hypocritical to demand honesty when you’re holding the secret that you killed a man for getting a handjob.

Has got to be one of the weirdest and most warped goat fuckers in existence.

His idea of good sex is probably having rodents lick goat dip off his microphallus.

Write something better you dumb mother fucker.😁

And have a happy Easter!

well written, and hilarious. It's a wonderful story. Thank you SleeperyJim.

AND THIS STORY DESERVES A FAR HIGHER SCORE (what the hell is wrong with readers here?)

and amusing, which is a bonus....

If I were to be critical, the deus ex machina elements were at times a bit much.... but in farce, you sometimes have little choice, I suppose.

Thanks,

Green-something

Upon realizing that she's been played, Jade wonders how she fell for Anthony's line when she had always been able to see through those of others, but it's pretty clear to me that the reality was that what had always kept her from falling for every guy who tried to feed her a load of BS was that John had always been there watching over her.

(see above)

If this was an attempt at humor 3 stars, if not, 1.

That sums us this whole piece of shit story.

She just jacks off some stranger, at a ski resort, in a stalled ski lift? And she thinks that's just a mistake?

Yeah, she must be a super model. Reads like she's got the brains to be a super wife and mother.

Not sure what was the point of this story. Sure it reads like a stupid cartoon.

"Kerb" is used f or "curb" outside North America.

what they said. just one question, i cant find it when i googled it, wth is "dark and the boot" mean? oh and u might think about an editor or prof reader

Kerb is the word for that street edge in NA, too, it's just that most Norte Americanos don't know that. Ignorance rules! Look it up ... if you care!

To those who complain that I misspelt words, or made mistakes in my use of language I would ask that you consider: if the rest of the world spells a word one way when using English, while Americans spell it differently... ah, forget it.

For those who need spoon-feeding, 'sticking the boot in' is an expression which means beating someone up - something best done in the dark to avoid witnesses. I imagine you have slang used by rough characters in the USA, and my hero was a gang member in his youth. The idea was that underneath an urbane facade he was still as rough as ever. And, mess with the gangs and they will kill you.

Consider sub-text and nuance... nope, not going back to teaching writing.

When I read a story in other forms of English, I am usually able to interpret expressions and slang words. As far as kerb and curb go, my spellcheck tells me 'kerb' is misspelled. I see that a commenter states that kerb is the only term for the concrete or stone along a street in North America, or any other English speaking nation. I looked it up as I was dubious of that claim.

" In American and Canadian English, the noun meaning the edge of a sidewalk or roadway is spelled curb. In varieties of English from outside North America, the word is spelled kerb. But everyone uses curb for the verb meaning to check or restrain and for the verb’s corresponding noun (e.g., curbs on spending)."

My source is https://grammarist.com/spelling/curb-kerb/ but I am always open to being wrong, seldom as that may be.

Looked it up. Curb is correct in North America, and actually predates the odd kerb spelling used elsewhere.

I DID look it up!

"A curb (American English, Canadian English), or kerb (Australian English, British English, New Zealand English; see spelling differences), is the edge where a raised sidewalk (pavement in British English; pavement or footpath in Australian English) or road median/central reservation meets a street or other roadway."

I have been accused numerous times, by plenty of commenters, of being a card-carrying member of the BTB crew. Those people seems to view me, having a problem with male protagonists accepting the actions of their wayward wives laying down, as something particularly heinous, because, according to them, having a spine is one of the worst crimes a man could ever commit. I mean, for example, as recently as yesterday, it looks like I managed to give a long-distanced orgasm to c24j over my issue with how an author chose to end his story: I pointed out the ending - which was, yes, a RACC - made no sense with any of the MC's previous thoughts and actions, but c24j took my problem with the lack of consistency displayed there as me being somehow 'scared' of it and suffering from 'BTB'er panic'... Seriously, the man (???) was truly, gleefully happy about it, to the point that I have no doubt he must have creamed his pants, writing his bizarre attack against me giving my humble opinion. Alright then... whatever gets you off, buddy.

Well then, if that's the case, if I am really always all in on the concept of Burn The Bitch/Bastard, the two following statements should not surprise any of you then:

• I'm really happy that John and Jade got back together.

• And I have a serious problem with how John dealt with Anthony.

... I'm still on brand, right?

First off, the reconciliation. They've actually broke up, even got a divorce, remained friendly throughout it all, and stay in touch long enough for Jade to finally show herself to a true Ride-or-Die, by first saving his life, and by being there for him throughout his recovery. So yes - believable. You can definitely see John give her another chance, even reluctantly so, if his sarcastic final comments are to be taken seriously. You can buy it especially given the undeniable fact this story brought out, about their relationship: Jade is an idiot. Like, hopelessly dumb. And now, she knows it herself, without question. The conversation they had was definitely the highlight of the story, since every single arguments she came up with, to justify her idiotic behavior on the ski-lift, were viciously and hilariously taken down by her husband, to the point that she herself couldn't understand how the hell she got conned so easily by Anthony, as if she was a little girl meeting her first sexual predator! She fucked up, she knew it, and I have no doubt she'll do, from now on, everything in her power to re-claim her status as Mrs Jade Hodges, both legally and emotionally, and to keep it permanently. Kinda makes you wonder how their relationship would have ended up, if not for John's cancer - 'doesn't seem like she was going to fess up to her dumbass action without her husband starting 'the conversation'... But hey, call me gullible all you want, but I did believe she was this stupid, that she was genuinely sorry for having been tricked into being unfaithful, and that she truly needs her man around, at the very least to help her tie her shoes on properly.

So that's all good and well,,, But, when it comes to how John got back at Borsel... yeah, sorry, I cannot sanction that at all (by the way, strange name - made me think of the late Anthony Bourdain, for the second... )

Retribution on an asshole getting himself in the middle of your marriage should be proportional to what said asshole actually did, in most cases, at least. So... throwing a-hole off a mountain for conning your wife into giving him a handjob seems, to me, to be the definition of EXCESSIVE AND IRRATIONAL BEHAVIORS. I mean, fuck... beat the guy up, stomp on his balls - you know, the classics - if you must, but killing him over it? Yes, that's make John a bonafide psycho. 'Makes you wonder if there's not a previous history we haven't been made aware of between between those two - Hodges knew Borsel was, so maybe it's not the first time Tony went after a girl Johnny was with. But, even then... still psychotic!

So what we ended up with is a pretty funny story, with a believable happy ending... but still, an ending that makes you wonder if Jade wasn't better off, walking away, free and clear, from her husband. I mean, geezus... Bring it down a notch, mate.

Enjoyed another conversations story. I didn't have a lot of problems when translating English to American. Looking forward to the next one.

This story was so compelling that half the conversation about it was actually about kerbs.

color vs colour trunk vs boot hood vs bonnet etc. etc. etc.

2 countries separated by a common language

Quite well done. Your parting comments re: your future plans for dear Jade struck me as a combination of David Niven and Bertie Wooster.

Capital, man, capital. Eventually, I shall read the other three.

Steve

Well, that's an amusing little conceit.

Congratulations on finding a new approach to an old plot.

Although I did not understand a lot of it, got the gist at least. Didn't skim either.

Like, who copied his congratulations with helium voice?

Not sure why she got bullied in school. Her name not so different to a lot of people, especially those rich and famous.

I guess you wrote it all tongue in cheek, which got really boring very quickly. I kept reading hoping you would change to normal speak.

It *does* sound like the sort of scrape Bertie Wooster would get into, and the "revenge" is exactly like something he would think of. The difference is, I don't think he really wants Jeeves to extricate him from the mulligatawny, as it were. Very enjoyable.

GA

lot's of fun!f

Funny.

His reaction was way over the top.Thank goodness he got cancer.

I must say, you're a very clever writer.

Always original, and the humour is always dead-on.

My sense of justice, warped as it is, has also not been offended once.

I am not really surprised that the scores are not higher, this is a very limited audience, who always have a very high personal agenda, and often a very limited intelligence to match. Not that I can speak of such things.

I think you're a real writer's writer. I'd be very surprised if the better ones here didn't absolutely love your work.

Looking forward to the rest of this series.

LOVED YOUR FLIGHT OF FANCY BUT, IF YOU WANT TO GET BETTER, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOUR PSYCHIATRIST'S INSTRUCTIONS.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AND ⭐ TO GROW ON.

I thought the reconciliation was appropriate given the circumstances but killing the guy was way over the top for the "crime" committed. I am loving this series that switches between BTB and reconciliation depending on the seriousness of the cheating. 5 stars for a great read.

There's this place just between my shoulder blades that I can't reach when it itches.

It feels just the same when I read this story - I wasn't sure whether I was being sandbagged, or having my plonker pulled by someone using sandpaper covered gloves!

However, being the stoic that I am, 5 pointy things should be a just award for my ambivalent feelings!

Not off the wall, but off the mountain. I think that I might have wanted to do for him too. These are great stories.

You're getting better and better; not so much the plot(which is very good) but your style of writing! It's absolutely hilarious! I'm really enjoying your offerings, SleeperyJim and once again, it's five stars. Just keep it up.

What an arsehole he is.Why on earth does Jade still have anything to do with him?.

Anthony was correct in his statement that he was dying although the cause seems to have shifted. His attempt to fly was terminated by the sudden stop at the bottom. Hope he enjoyed the trip.

A little mean spirited and not as comical as it was presumably meant to be.

Writing is excellent, of course, but the story just didn't light a spark

She cheated caught and punishment deserved but redeemed

Enjoyed the story

I go with 5 decades maybe more

but keep the lines open for more promises down the road. TK U MLJ LV NV

1st time gave it 4-stars. I don’t know what I was thinking. This is brilliant: original plot, funny, typical good mechanics...

5-stars (assuming I could change it) & Favorite

This was um... lol. Killing someone for a hand job? Okay....

They did more than a handjob i think he fucked her and came inside her myb more than once that's why the smell didn't go away it was inside her

That was a fun story! It even had a reconciliation of an odd sort, without 20 pages of tiresome recriminations, back sliding, etc. a nice romp all around, with some fun perfume facts to boot.

Only a hand job?? How did it get in her face and hair?? Sounds like a BJ to me!!!

By mistake.

Funny story and well written.

It's still a great story, but the comments are off the charts. The whole curb debate is only funny in the degree of venom being thrown. And then there are the readers who insist on reinterpreting the story and why the smell persisted. The bottom line is that it was a good story about a ridiculously foolish wife who made amends in the end.

She was gorgeous, but she always had these stupid goofy looking headphones on. All the fucking time. Drove me crazy. One night I'd had enough, and as she slept, I pulled those cursed things off her. Fuck me if she didn't stop fucking breathing right on the spot! I put the headphones to my ear, and all I heard was 'Breathe in, Breathe out, Breathe in, Breathe out.....'

Funny!

Hilarious. 5*

Another delightful little offering! AND I'M ONLY ON NUMBER FOUR! I wonder how much longer SleepryJim can keep this up? I'll just have to keep reading and see.

One day laughing at her? Might be true but everyone else will be laughing at him for staying so long

Very well written. Hey how bad can be a handjob? Is it cheating? Then I'm cheating every day on my wife by jerking my winnie 😏

They do say that fake cancer can be terminal. Pooooooor antooonnnnnyyyyyy!!!! He must have had a bout of pain and failed to see the drop off. Terrible, he was blinded by the pain and couldn’t recover in time.

Just like losers that fake handicaps, use stolen valor and other types of deception for personal gain. Accidents happen and hopefully are just as fatal. Removing your stain from the human race is a positive in my view.

Loved the humor and the creativity in this story. Very well done.

Hilarious. I wish this author would write more often.

The insignificant things people get upset and start arguments over. Kerb vs curb. Who cares. It's the edge of the sidewalk/footpath thingy. (Official term, patent pending)

Nice! I like it. What a great sense of humor. 5

Lit needs more authors that don't have the mindset that a cuckold getting back with their cuckolder isn't actually a happy romantic ending. It's just selling effluent as chocolate topping.

I like it.

Good humour!

INSANE! Yes she made a major fumble (at least it was full on sex) being taken advantage of but it seems as things turned out she was determined to never allow it again.

Hilarious.

5 plus 2

The guy is surely manipulative. Not a nose but an arsehole, I say.

What a lovely enchanted ending.

The fifth of your Conversations is on par with the rest--outstanding with inventive humor and story development akin to any cartoon series by Berke Breathed. Love them all. 5 out of 5

Damn funny, thanks.

"...the long game..."

I can’t tell if that’s pathetic or hilarious….. maybe it’s hilarious because it’s so pathetic. Good story.

LOL

Well done, right on the nose.

Surprisingly funny and sweet, considering it's a loving wives tale.

excelente BTB jajajajaajajaajajajaja

Lol hilarious. Like the "decade or two, or maybe five" line. She was definitely not bright. Surprised she wasn't conned into letting guys into her pants other times.

Hehe. Funny. Nice twist with the tumor. His plan is hilarious. Oh the trials and tribulations of a divorced supermodel utterly devoted to himX having hot sex every night and making a mint at the bank. Remember he did divorce her. So he has no plans to remarry, just the early thinks they are married. Quite the devious plan. Lol.

Very funny. Well done!

Hehe, nice one.

The guy stinks.5

Another funny one.

Yeah, she was dumb but she was innocent too, the innocence of the truly stupid.

He took her back, it was only fair

4/5

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fun read!

Damn right, that'll teach her. Maybe even remarry her; that'll sting like the dickens when he leaves her! Eventually... any year now...

They keep saying there are no new LW, well, here is one. Nice job!
