Drabble by Kevin Fagan for June 15, 2013

Product placement alert: . . . Breath-Rite™ . . ☻(Ralph probably snores . . . )

It took me a while,too!

She wears earrings to bed?

Someone please help me, I’m not getting it.

I must be getting old. It took me two reads to get it. Blush

In twitter speak, or something like that? I STILL don’t get it.

and Ralph undoubtedly snores; he’s very obese.

Reminds me of the Sgt. O’Rourke/Cpl. Agarn “Who says I’m dumb?” bit on F-Troop. ♦ Sometimes when some1 tells me a joke that isn’t particularly funny, I’ll wait til an hour later & laugh as if I just got it.

And the dawn comes late at night.

hahah tongs he heard thanks! lol hahhahaha

The tongs gag sounds like something I’d say.

So it’s all because Ralph is so hard of hearing he mistook the word? Still not funny and more so for being called brain dead by someone I do not know nor care to.

At least it wasn’t “thong!”

I don’t think it was so much that Ralph mistook the word tongs to be thanks as it’s a variation on the “joke” my siblings and I would play when we were young:

I say, “one Q” and instruct you say “two Q,” and it goes back and forth until I say “nine Q” and you say “ten Q”. Then I say, “what?” and you repeat a bit louder, “Ten Q”. I say “What?” again and you practically shout, “TEN Q!” To which I reply (with a saucy grin), “You’re welcome, you’re welcome, you’re welcome!” Yeah, it is funny to a 7-year-old.
