I’m confused, CC.  How do you think Ex-M broke the rules?

Oh boy, sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut.

“CRIPES! The Scientologist were right!”
“Your keys are down here”

that’s cheating… back to the blackboard  

1,2,3,4,5
1,2,3,4,5
1,2…3,4,5,6

“Six” Word Epitaph
   

I know you snuck in a shorty. But come’on… who am I to question ‘Occam’s’ razor? You want to use four words, fine… but, but… you know… the newbie… the robot… I thought I could have a little fun with him… 

Now what makes this scandal even worse,
I found a beautiful five worder myself:

Jimi Sounds Like a Rainbow
(I haven’t even seen the book yet but I know it’ll be one of my Xmas presents to the grandkids.)

Ok now I get why you said that. I’ll upgrade my posts then.

Aw Cripes! The Scientologist were right!

and

Hey! Your keys are down here!

edit. “Occams Razor”. It sounds like the title of a horror novel.

You’ll have to ask Occam about his razor. 

I saw, I left, I arrived

Are you bored?
You are boring.

What do you mean, “No refunds”?

Echo of god in the Fractals

for sure it’s not as funny as yours, but hey I just came up with it and like it
thought I’d spread the joy  

Where all the white women at?

A famous anamole (anomaly) in art form. ; )

No gods, no regrets, nothing left!

Ok this isn’t six words but,

“If you can’t find my balls, look in my wife’s grave.”

Hmmm, let’s see what this means when translated out of metaphor.  “If you can’t find” equals “If it appears that I don’t have”.  “My balls” equals “self-respect, self-confidence, and assertiveness”.  “Look in my wife’s grave” equals “I have given them to my dead wife.”

So it comes out as, “If it appears that I don’t have self-respect, self-confidence, and assertiveness, I have given them to my dead wife.”

Is that what you meant, E-M?

Oh! Absolutely not Occam.

I was referring to a guy who had played golf with his loving wife. She would hold all the golf balls and he’d carry all the clubs. I guess one could see it two ways.

And she took his golf balls to her grave?????  That REALLY shows dominance.

Heard on Talk of the Nation
Can You Tell Your Life Story In Exactly Six Words?

February 3, 2010

Once asked to write a full story in six words, legend has it that novelist Ernest Hemingway responded: “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

In this spirit, Smith Magazine invited writers “famous and obscure” to distill their own life stories into exactly six words. It All Changed in an Instant is the fourth collection of very, very brief life stories from Smith. The tiny memoirs are sometimes sad, often funny — and always concise.

Bears in the park, after dark.
