What a good laugh!

My wife and I enjoyed this story so much! We are still laughing. By the way we are from South Africa, no need to worry about the 'sharks part' of your story, there are quite a few Great Whites in the Cape's waters.

Easy to read, good grammar. 10 out of 10!

And it isn't about golf!

Brilliant work, Mr. Knowbody! Thank you for writing this so well. Were you so positive she was going to veto the velvet handcuffs? And that you'll know for sure when the woman who won't veto the velvet handcuffs comes along? My best wishes to you.

I liked that a lot!

That third glass of wine...also known as "tact remover." Of course, many people are able to be impolite without it! I feel that asking people about their religious beliefs is similarly rude, and I have been very tempted to counter with "let's talk about your sex life first, then we can talk about my religious life." <p>

I think the encounter you described above could easily be part of a romance story, I'm assuming with your character ending up with someone else. But, finding a way to have things work out with the original woman would be entertaining too.

A Richly Textured Man

Fascinating. I found I empathized with this character not because of his disability but because of his ability . . . his ability to see into people . . . his ability to tell a wonderful story extemporaneously. The author, by way of describing the categories of tall tales, hooked me immediately into believing this was an interesting, richly textured man.

This is not erotica

This is not erotica... Maybe it would be ok in a different forum.

No Know a lot of physical handicapped people. Most prefer acknowledge of handicap rather than avoidance. Loss of leg. ONE of my comments born that way or accident

Most appreciated getting it out front rather than trying to ignore elephant in room jtwheels
