Welcome to another round of Microfiction Monday courtesy of Susan at Stony River. Each week Susan posts a new picture and invites us to write a story in 140 characters or less.

Today's picture:



On the assumption that the theme of "being washed up" would be well and truly explored this week, I decided to take a different tack:

---oOo---

"This," said Old Alfie to his suffering friend, "will cure your constipation in no time!"

---oOo---

"See, tol' you I cud get summat square in a roun' 'ole."

---oOo---

His wife had been on at him for years about wanting to watch the "soap dramas".
"Do you think she'll like it?" he asked his friend.

    Very good ones, Dom. Can't decide which I like best. The thought of soap as a cure for what-ails-ya makes me cringe. LOL

    Very clever once again Dominic. The constipation one made me giggle to the point that my daughter asked what I was laughing about. I didn't think I was ready to talk to her about constipation this evening :) LOL.
