Are the actresses in a spook alley supposed to be MORE frightened than the paying public?

Sam was visiting a large spook alley at Halloween. He had been startled a few times but over all it hadn’t been bad. Then he came to a part that was pit black. The darkness was at least disconcerting. He reached for the smooth concrete wall to guide him along. The wall change from smooth and cold, to rigid and warmer. Then finally to soft and squishy for just a moment when a strobe of light flashed long enough for him to see that he was no longer holding the wall, but a female actress from the ally. So even though his team was now out of the MLB Playoffs, HE still got to second base.

Slpish Splash was a made up bash.

Splish Splash...

Beth was dating a guy on her college football team. They had just suffered a heartbreaking loss to a team rival. Beth and her man had gone to dinner after the team had been released for the night. Then they were going to watch a movie in his apartment style dorm room. When they got there, Beth went to use the restroom. After doing her “thing” she decided to steal a minute to look around… She opened the drawers and cabinets. Then she pulled back the shower curtain and found the most horrifying thing… his roommate was asleep in what had probably been a very comforting bath before she screamed and woke him up.

Sorry for the absense.

The Chili's story is straight shootin.

Chili's "got" To Go

Peter and his son loved to eat at Chili’s. There was one in the town next to them that they patronized often. Now all Chili’s restaurants, in New England at least, have the same floor plan. But one afternoon they were on their way home from a road trip and stopped at a different store than their usual. They headed to the bathroom and Peter’s son mentioned that this Chili’s did not offer urinals. Then they heard a mighty scream as a lady came out of one of the stalls. The restaurant was identical to the one they were used to. Well all except for which side of the hall the men’s room was on.

How to Catch a Politician

Paula was running for Superintendent of Schools when a constituent asked her in a town debate; “As Superintendent would you fire Mr. Sweeney for his addiction to pain killers”? Paula responded that Mr. Sweeney, though a very nice man and a fabulous teacher, would no longer have a position with the school district because he could not be trusted to be straight while students were in his care, placing them all in danger in case of emergency. It was a very good answer… except there was not now, nor had there ever been a Mr. Sweeney working for the district.

OK in my defense have you ever looked at a sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk can? Almost identical.

Is Lying OK If You Are Being Nice?

Shannon was newly married and trying out some new recipes from her Mother in Law’s regular meal rotation. The day she had decided to make Chicken Broccoli Casserole, she received a phone call asking her to bring dinner to a family whose baby was in the hospital. She doubled the recipe of noodles, cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, cheese, chicken, broccoli, sweetened condensed milk, curry powder, and lemon juice. Oops did I say sweetened condensed milk? No it should be evaporated milk. But Shannon did not know that there was a difference. She had taken the dinner to the other family and served it to her own before her husband took a bite and nearly gagged from the sweetness. Shannon’s family ate Taco Bell that night and called the other family to offer them Taco Bell too. They had already eaten and said it was fabulous. Then they went further to ask for the recipe.

Yes Ashley has friends who owe loving appologies. :)

WHAT

11 year old Bree was having a rough night sleeping. She would toss and turn. First she was too cold, then too hot. In short she was miserable. She finally sought the comfort of Mommy and Daddy and climbed in their bed. At last there was peace. Well until the nightmare started. In the dream she heard her Mother calling to her from far away. She sounded desperate but she could not hear Bree’s reply. Her Mother’s pleas became so urgent that she finally screamed “WHAT!!!!”, right in her sleeping Mother’s ear.

So I have recived them comment that I should tell you the poll results... I'll humor today. 100% of the votes were for true. But it was 100% made up.

Lost in Love

Marc had his eye on Liz, the receptionist at work, and had mentioned it to his friend on a few occasions. One day his friend said, “Don’t kill me but I told Liz you wanted to go out with her. And she said she takes an extra peek when ever you pass by.” Marc was thrilled and agreed to let his friend set up the date. Friday evening at 7 he drove to the house where he had once dropped Liz off after work. She opened the door wearing sweats and her hair in a ponytail. “Marc, come on in”, she said. He came in and they both just stood there for a minute. He finally asked, “So are you ready to go?”
“Um where are we going?”
“Just dinner and a movie.”
“Marc my boyfriend is downstairs, I am sorry.” Marc left in a rush and drove right to his friend’s house. His friend opened the door he said, “Marc, Liz just called and she thinks you stood her up.” As it turns out, his friend had thought all along that he’d been talking about Liz, the girl that had the cubical next to him at work, not the receptionist. Marc went out on the date, an hour and a half late. And she must have forgiven him for crushing on that other Liz because they have now been married 12 years.

My sweet BLONDE little girl. Oh how I love her.

Love Hurts!

Lisa was having lunch with her young daughters, (9 and 11), and spending quality time. They started blowing kisses and catching them on their face. Or teasing and saying oooh that one barely missed me, try again. Lisa caught one on her knee and then the next one was right on target. She yelled, “Arrrrgh right in my eye! OWWWWWW”! The eleven year old jumped up and ran to her Mother, “I’m sooooo sorry! Are you OK?” Lisa and the 9 year old nearly fell out of their chairs laughing.

These days money laundering is when I find money at the bottom of the washer after a load of jeans. And yes I was 18 before I knew another name for laundry mat was coin wash.

Money Laundering

Anna lived at home while going to college. One night she was out with friends, and they were talking about the best coin wash in town. Anna started to feel like maybe her friends were out her class. She had never thought of herself as poor or lazy about her cleanliness… but in all her life she had never taken her coins to be washed.

Although it is a fictional story, it is a recurring nightmare of mine.

Bad Bad Bunny

It was early Easter morning and Megan’s kids were up and ready to find the tricks of the Easter bunny. But Megan had stayed up late with friends and when she got home from taking her babysitter home she had gone straight to bed. As the kids excitement hit her ears panic began to course through her. How in the world had she forgotten to hide the eggs they had painted Friday, and the baskets she had made up on Wednesday? But Megan was gifted when it came to “BSing” her way out of trouble. “Hey kids” she said. “You go get dressed while I run down and grab the camera”. She retrieved the baskets out of her closet and ran down stairs with them. She quickly hid them both and grabbed the eggs out of the fridge. She placed a few around the kitchen and a couple on the stairs as she heard the kids coming. She advised them to start looking in the kitchen first while she hid some in the living room. Then as they hunted the living room she hid more in the hall ECT.

This true story keeps me "rolling" on the floor.

Airing Dirty Laundry

Misty and Doug were newly married and just trying to get buy financially. One of the ways they were making ends meet is by not using fabric softener. Then one evening on an extended family outing of bowling, Doug took a few steps forward and lunged to throw his ball, when his brother in law said, “hey what’s that hanging out of your pants?” He went up to him, pulled a long black sock the rest of the way out and said, “You know at this point, the old SOCK ROLL trick isn’t going to fool Misty”.

Yes Stacey was both blind and DUMB.

A Walk in the Shrouds

Stacey stepped off the bus after a rotten Tuesday at high school. She and her friends crossed the street in front of the bus and onto the sidewalk. A man walked out of his driveway and shoulder bumped Stacey knocking her off balance and off the sidewalk onto the street. Stacey yelled at him with all of the passion of anger that had built up through her day, (can you say PMS?), “Geez ya %^&%$ what are you BLIND”? The man turned to her with great apology on his face, dark glasses on his face and walking stick in hand.

I'm sure it has happened, but not to anyone I know.

Get a Whiff of this!

Brad was on his second date with Megan. They had both been married before, and had decided to make this date a “family too” date. They had been on a long drive from the water park and needed fuel. Brad was so busy talking with Megan that he had passed a few stations, when finally from the back seat his 7 year old demanded, “Dad will you PLEASE stop passing gas”!

I was soooo emabrassed by this true story that I had to hide away for a few days. Ok I lied. It was a true story, and I am proud to say I was the one showering.

Good Clean Fun

Lori and Tom’s good friend came by to drop some things off for Lori. Their 11 year old son told her that his Mom was “busy” when she asked to see her. She left and called from her cell to leave a pointed voice mail… “Lori, I have to say I am rather hurt that your children still think they have to use the code word “busy” when you are not home. It makes me feel like I am a stranger to them. You had better let them know we are friends and can be trusted before we decide not to be friends”. Lori was shocked when she heard the message and immediately called to explain. Ironically she had not made it home yet and her daughter gave Lori the code words, “I’m sorry she’s busy can I have her call you back”? Lori then called her cell phone and told her friend’s cell. She was still a bit perturbed when she answered so Lori didn’t let on to the irony of her last call but did go offense a bit and gave some TMI, “Would your kids tell me if you were in the shower with your husband? We were indeed ‘busy’.”

I'm sorry to say I got you all revved up for nothing.

Learning Your Roots

Dane went out and started his motorcycle for the first time of the year. The air was crisp but he was so exited after a long winter of driving around in his minivan. “Time to put the mojo on”, he thought as he revved the bike. His 8 year old daughter came out with his helmet in hand. She put her hands on her hips and said in her bossy mother like tone, “Dad, bad things happen when you don’t wear protection.” Before he could stop himself he said, “Hey that’s how we got you.”

Taylor you thought you were trouble before you ran away!

Running with Reindeer

3 ½ year old little Taylor was in trouble and sent to his room. He decided he had had just about enough of being punished. So he packed his bag and decided to go live with Santa Claus. He was you see the only person that was ALWAYS nice to him. About an hour later, his sister who had been babysitting and the one who had given him the punishment, went to peek in on him. She had figured that since he had stopped crying that he had fallen asleep. Seeing that he was not in bed, she freaked out started searching the house and yard. Once she was sure he was no longer home she called the police. They found him about 10 minutes later. Apparently a 3 year old walking along a busy street is easy to spot. And you know this little 3 year old knew right where Santa lived. He had made it 2 city blocks NORTH.

It was a colorful situation.

Painting Pains

Anna was just about ready to own her first house. It was beautiful. She and her husband were having it built and had opted into a program called sweat equity. Meaning they were going to paint the inside of the house and the money that would have been paid to a painting contractor was going toward their down payment. They had picked out a subtle rose tone of white paint to do the upper 2/3 of the walls in the formal living room, and over the vaulted ceiling to the kitchen. But when they started painting they found that the type of light in the room made the paint look salmon pink. They were so horrified that Anna’s husband asked her to go to the store and buy white paint. She got to the store and looked through the cards she found the whitest color possible and had 10 gallons mixed up of “White Dawn”. Her husband questioned her
“Why didn’t you just buy white paint?”
“I did. It was the whitest card n the rack”.
‘Why did't you just pull the cans off the shelf?”
“You can do that?”
In the end White Dawn was actually lavender. It was like a Skittle factory had exploded inside Anna's lovely home.

Penny must have paid the fashion police.

The Power of a Penny

Penny was head cheerleader at her school. She and her 2 best friends made up half the squad and the other 3 girls did not get along with them. This created a divide in the whole school. You either sided with the blondes or the brunettes. One early morning, after a long night of studying, Penny got dressed in the dark so her sister could sleep in. She had made it all the way to 4th period before anyone even bothered to tell her that her clothes were on inside out. The next thing in her schedule was lunch and on her way to the restroom to change, she started noticing there were now loads of girls that had their shirts on inside out. Her 2 best friends were among them. The next day nearly half of the school came with their shirts on inside out. The new trend lasted the last 3 weeks before school let out.

It ails or ales me to tell you, I lied.

Teen to English Dictionary...PLEASE

Amber and her friends had a fun way of talking to each other. They would rearrange the order of their sentences and use odd words for simple ones. For example “I have to pee.” Changes to “Relieve me must I. Hence I restroom go”. Her Mother was quiet used to this type of language and tried to translate the best she could when she spoke it at home too. One weekend she was staying with her Dad but had gone out with these friends. When her Dad picked her up from the activity he said, “You don’t look like you feel very well Amber”. She replied. “Oh knowest I true. The restaurant hath filled all my allies bellies with ail”. Dad of course hearing her talking funny mistook ail for ale and had ONE MASSIVE DADDY FIT about teenage drinking!
