[Kentucky Fisherman]

So, I got home kind of early this afternoon and immediately went to the morning post to catch up on the guys who checked in after me. Was Skruske's 4-wheeler story included this line, which I thought was a great one:

They all left me on the mountain with some pizza, brownies and an MRE so I was all set for several hours.

As a lifelong editor/writer, my reaction was, "Man, this would be a great line to start an article, or even a book. Who could stop reading with just that?" Is this person a military sniper settling in for a long wait? Did it happen on a fraternity road trip and this guy got tossed out of the car? And vets might wonder, "So, what menu was the MRE?"

I don't know how many of you will want to play along, but I'm proposing that those who want to contribute come up with a one sentence story starter from some escapade that actually happened to them. It can be exciting, scary, sad or whatever, but you had to be involved. And the idea is to make the sentence a "story starter," like Skruske's line above.

Here's my story starter:

"Uh, Rick, I've got these two HUGE rattlesnakes. Could I possibly use one of your cast iron skillets?"

I'll play.

"Don't point that gun at me honey.. you'll be sorry if it goes off."

just another day on the job

So we broke down the door to find a young lady naked and tied to the bed and screaming and a guy unconscious and bleeding next to the bed.

Looking up at Dr. D. Last week as she hovered over me with 2 handfuls of Big Syringes, a drill and some sort of Electrical Damapparatus with which she was going to burn the Hell out of my Gums....
"What are you a fixing to do here?"
(I wish I was making this up..)

Hmmm

So far, putting those together is beginning to sound a lot like one of those best of times CO trips we heard so much about.

The floor creaked, she whispered, "How long do we have till you're finished?"

"Sure I'll be up in a second....it's been a bit I might have to slap you on the a$$ and knock the cobwebs and dust out."

I didn't make it upstairs.

 

[Gabriel]

I overheard

my father mumble “I wonder if they are good to eat”, as he stared into the dark corner of the kitchen. All I saw were coach roaches.

 

[koger]

Now what are you going to do to me?

 

[JC in Calif]

He knew the dangers. He didn’t have to come. It rains, you get wet.

 

[Greyfox]

"Sure Mikey, and right after you finish with the snakes we can fry up your balls for desert."

I mean, hey, he already had a good story started......
