It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again. This week’s prompt is “Admit.” Linda Hill says we can use it any way we want. I have to admit I’m not sure how to use it but will figure it out before too long. If you would like to join the craziness just pop over to Linda’s blog and read up on all the rules. Here is the link. https://lindaghill.com/2017/06/09/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-june-1017/
Admit by John W. Howell © 2017
“This ticket says ‘admit one.’ Where does your buddy think he’s going?”
“Excuse me. You talking to me?”
“Yeah, Robert I’m talking to you.”
“Name’s Silvester.”
“Okay, Silvester. Where d’you think you’re going?”
“Into the show.”
“Show me your ticket.”
“He’s got it.”
“His says ‘admit one.’ You and he make two.”
“So what’s the problem?”
“Real simple. No ticket no entry.”
“I already said he’s got the ticket.”
“And I already told you his ticket says ‘admit one.”‘
“He and I are together.”
“Yeah, so?”
“That makes us as one.”
“Woo boy. You think I’m that stupid?”
“Don’t know.”
“Don’t know what?”
“If you are that stupid.”
“Okay, that’s it. Show me a ticket or get lost.”
“Here’s my ticket.”
“Now I have to ask.”
“What?”
“Why did you put me through all that?”
“You have to admit it was fun.”
“No, I don’t.”
“Suit yourself.”
“Let me ask just for grins. Did you get the Robert De Nero reference from the movie Taxi?”
“Yes. Yes, I did.”
“What’d you think?”
“Not funny. Excuse us the movie is going to start.”

A clever exchange, John. I haven’t seen Taxi; I was living in Japan when the film opened. I’ll be sure to check it out. Have a great day. 🙂

This does remind me of times when the person holding the tickets goes in before everyone else. Before cellphones, it was really hard to get their butts back out for the rest of us to get in.
