It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. I would never have believed the word “finger” and Linda Hill would ever be associated together. Well, this week the prompt is “Finger.” Linda says we can use it… er the prompt anyway we want. If you would like to know more about this craziness program you can go here and read on how you can participate. http://lindaghill.com/2016/02/05/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-feb-616/
Finger by John W. Howell © 2016
“Is that your age or IQ?”
“It’s the number of friends you have including yourself.”
“Yeah, amusing. Why don’t you quit it.”
“Quit giving you the finger.’
“No, quit showing everyone how stupid you are.”
“Well, you’re the one who started it.”
“Started it? All I said was you shouldn’t wear that jacket.”
“And I said it’s my choice.”
“And I said you will be sorry when someone asks you if you are a Denver Broncos fan.”
“Why would I be sorry?”
“Cause you don’t know anything about the Broncos or Denver for that matter.”
“Well, I do like the jacket.”
“Yeah I know. We are going to a place where that won’t help you much.”
“I’ll just tell everyone that I like the clothes.”
“I’m sure everyone will appreciate that distinction.”
“So why are people so particular?”
“They love their teams is all.”
“Where we going again?”
“To a bar called ” The Carolina Panthers Den.”

I watched the 1991 Twins-Braves World Series (probably the best series ever) in a Washington DC sports bar. Our table was the only one rooting for the Twins…

Having walked into bars in Boston wearing Steelers shirts, I know how this might end John. Nicely done. It’s good to see someone go where I was afraid to with this prompt.

I’m out of the loop on this one (USA teams) but reckon it sounds a bit like sporting a Glasgow Celtic top in a Rangers pub. Could prove fatal.

Hear that whizzing noise? That’s the sound of this post going over my head.
I get the gist though, so I still enjoyed it. (Sportsball, right?)
