Some people never learn!

Very lightweight and humorous. 4 stars

Short, sweet and RIGHT on point!! 5/5!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good. It was somewhat disconcerting that his 2nd wife knew his first wife so well that she instantly recognized her AND recognized that the man with her was NOT her husband. Might want to say something about the length of their marriage, how long after the first marriage did he say "I do" again and WHY his 2nd wife knew his 1st wife and her husband so well. Other than that - funny stuff.

A slice of life.

Jimmy needs either to expand his menu or ban Meg from The Joint. It is not fair to his other patrons that the cuntfish appetizer is only served at her table.

".... politicians and other criminals...." That alone gave you 5*.

Nice little gem.

payback is hell when it comes to the unknowing

Very well done. I enjoyed it very muchly.

I enjoyed the story and the delayed revenge.

A new way to do this sort of story.

Fun little story. Thanks for posting. 5 stars.

When he kicked her to the curb, it's unfortunate she didn't have many broken bones!

Really enjoyed this story! 5 stars.

I seemed to have read a very similar story posted in LW not long ago.

Not the same but very similar...

The endings were not the same but it was in the same line...

Similar at the end ex-husband with current wife when the ex-wife walked in with lover...

Anyways, like the other story, it was short too and so little details for me to enjoy the story.

I scored this story the same as the other story.

3*.

Dermatitis just got a little more interesting..... OMG, I spit my coffee out when I read that line. Although telling Bill to wash his hand because they were in a steakhouse not a seafood place was a close second.

Classic.

Not a bad effort. Well done.

A short one. Pretty good, though. D

Nicely done!

“…..fish was on the menu and my wife could see the catch of the day”. Fabulous!

“The payback he never got”

Well, he divorced her with similar footage gathered by a friend. So he’s still salty about it and gives the same evidence gathered by his new wife to the ex-wife’s current husband… sounds likely it wasn’t the only recording gathered by the patrons of the joint.

Is that really “payback”?

Seems more like the ex is just learning impaired

"The Joint is really Jimmy's Joint and it's named that because they have the best bar within fifty miles, but they just happen to have the best steaks within seventy-five." - What does the bar and the steaks got to do with the name? It seems that it's called "Jimmy's Joint" because Jimmy owns the Joint, lol!

They may be just words but you know how to put them together, happy holiday- 5 stars. Your tales always entertain.

somewhere east of Omaha

It is a good story that does not follow the typical LW format. Thank you!

Its just as well it wasn't the other joint - damn COPD!

somewhere east of Omaha

New point of view! Well done. 5

5* for a well crafted, fun story. But, please, use tags.

Justice served. Good story that put a smile on my face, thanks.

One of your best shorts - loved it! 5*

Great read and an almost perfect example of the dying art of how to how to write a short story. Four stars!

Meg needs a warning label. LoL!

Just the tonic we need given all the cuck trash that infests this category lately 🤗

.

You have a real talent for writing good flash tales. Thanks!

5 *****

Now this was cool

Actually quite funny

Nice to see a selfish serial cheater getting what they deserve. There is another lesson there, Danielle is not someone to cross.lol!

Well written. Damn difficult to get a good story on a single page.

Fish seems to be the primary flavour. Be it in action, behaviour or food.

Damn good. 5*

It's already been mentioned, but the throw away line about politicians and other criminals is pure gold. Great flash story!

A fun idea.

But ...

No offence Just_Words,

but a story like this one

is like ordering a good steak at a restaurant.

And getting it without a side dish or gravy.

Hey, what's that fishy smell?

Another great short from the foremost master of the genre. A real delight to read a complete story in such compact, concise form.

Now that was good. About the only bright spot from the neck deep shit the same handful of retreads threw our way this week.

Now thats how to truly BTB.

Maybe a “silly little thing”, but I liked it.

Nice twist to a rather hackneyed plot

very nice! You didn't need to say politicians and other criminals. You could have just left it at criminals. We would have been able to connect the dots! : )

I like this good little story

What’s not to like? Thanks for the fun story - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*****Good storytelling with a fine ending. You might say it was a A1 story!! Thanks for sharing.

There are usually two kinds of most things. Sure there are small differences in both but it boils down to basically two kinds. There are smart criminals and stupid criminals, smart ones go into politics and dumb ones go to prison.

Cheats are the same, smart ones take a long time to catch if ever. Usually just a bad luck or a freak coincidence catches them. Dumb ones get caught every time and it doesn't take much or any time. These are the ones that sit in a room when they are old and wonder what happened. To stupid to breathe comes to mind.

Wonder which one ole Meggie falls into.

That Danielle is a “keeper”

5***** Short, effective story with original BTB! Write On!

Good solid storytelling. Thanks for sharing.

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love it. Well done.

5*****

Well played !

Had I been able, I would've gone 4.5, only because I think it just missed a 5...

Nice and sweet, with knobs on. Made me smile.

I don't usually like stories this short, but it covered everything. 4*

Just *****

Good story thanks.

Pathetic

That's The Joint.

Short and sweet, an easy 5.

Hey! I fucked Meg a few times during her first marraige, thanks for the memories!

That was fun enough to give you 5

Good! And I like them short.

Started well but ended much too soon.

I did.

I enjoyed it very much. Very fun read. 5stars

Does the ex-wife not knowing who sent her husband the video make the payback seem less satisfying?

Great idea that worked very well 👏

Great story, very enjoyable.

I gave it a 5*, I would have made it 4.75 if possible because I thought it would have been a good touch if she had found out where the video came from.

I learnt from a very wise friend years ago that to get revenge on a person who has wronged you without their knowledge is so satisfying as they from that point on dont know who to trust which causes ongoing worry to them and you can rest easy l call that ongoing satifaction.

Entertaining.

Magnificent story in that Wife #2 managed to help hubby get the goods on Wife #1. They say Turnabout is Fair Play and when she was kicked to the curb Justice prevailed, Well written & thought of.

Enjoyed the story, it is rather cute. Thanks for your writing.

Great, what a wonderful thing to have thought of, I like the pace of this, few words but with so much power, what a way to get your own back, and it was your second wife that led the way.

LOL Good Karma

Some of JW's best works are his little snapshots of life and this is right up there with the best!

3 stars - and the SLUT video should have been shown to all the relatives and friends for at least a 500 mile radius.

A fun little read, thanks!

liked that one a lot.
