Come One, Come All
By Scott L Vannatter (100 words)
The streamers had been placed outside creating a tent. This was the atmosphere Simone wanted when the guests arrived, lavish food, and good music. All was ready for the arrival.
Finally, all hushed as Simone stepped up to speak. Her husband smiled as she called for quiet.
“Ladies and Gentlemen! Our guest of honor: my husband, Quentin. I wanted all to see the man of a thousand beds!”
Quentin managed to ignore most of the gasps and cat calls as he quickly made his way back to his car with the two packed suitcases now setting by the driver’s door.

Well now she can celebrate his leaving with all their friends. What a funny finale.:) She was absolutely prepared for that. I guess he was too busy to notice what the party was all about. Well done.

I have to admit: I don’t understand this one at all. Can someone explain it to me?

She threw Quentin a party. When he got there she let the world know he had had sex with 1000 women. His bags were packed for him to leave. She was throwing him out.
Boy, I must have been vague! lol

Thanks, that explains it. What was missing for me was any exasperation on his part at being found out. It sounds almost as if he were expecting this and was totally calm about it. That’s what through me off. Thanks!

Hmm, I can see that. I was thinking when I wrote that his only saving grace would be to remain calm about it. Didn’t come through well, apparently.

When in doubt with me, Perry, make it about sex.

That is very funny. I laughed out aloud and showed others. He shouldn’t complain – he was allowed two suitcases.
