The Saturday Stream of Consciousness prompt for this week is “Getting away or Getting out.” I have chosen Getting Out as my subject. This post is part of SoCS:http://lindaghill.wordpress.com/2014/07/11/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-july-1214/
Getting Out by John W. Howell Copyright 2014
“When you getting out?”
“What’s it to you?”
“Just curious. That’s all.”
“Yeah well, it’s none of your business. How about you?”
“If when you are getting out is none of my business what makes you think knowing when I’m getting out is any of yours?”
“Oh, I know you are dying to tell me since you are probably a short timer.”
“Okay, Mr. Genius. I’m getting out tomorrow.”
“Hah. That’s what I thought.”
“Come on tell me.”
“All right, but don’t spread it around since it’s not confirmed yet.”
“Who am I going to tell?”
“getting out is such a good thing you might want to blab it all over the place.”
“I promise. I won’t say a thing.”
“Okay. I get out tomorrow as well.”
“Whoa. So you are short-term too.”
“Well, I hate to tell you, but when one goes the other goes about the same time. You are really pretty dumb sometimes. Twins get out almost together.”
“I never knew that. Of course, I’ve never done this before.”

Whoa! I almost walked away without getting it. The picture threw me. Very, very clever, John, and hilarious now that I got it 🙂 Indeed twins often do “get out” about the same time.
