“Okay, men. If you will listen up, we have a few announcements.”

“Yeah, like how to get outta here.”

“What was that?”

“Oh, nothing. I was just getting some air under my paridhana. I was telling the hot air to leave.”

“May I continue?”

“No one stopped you.”

“Would you quit interrupting?”

“Sure.”

“Thank you. Now, before we form up for the parade, I just have a couple of things you need to remember.”

“Like not do this again next year.”

“What is with you?”

“I thought we were going to attend a class and not be paraded like freaks in a circus.”

“What is so bad about being in a parade?”

“I understand we are following the elephants.”

“That’s correct. One thing I was going to tell you all is to mind the lumps.”

“Lumps? You mean droppings, don’t you?”

“Well, yes.”

“See, that is something we shouldn’t have to do. Why not put the zebras behind the elephants?”

“Because the zebras are in the finale.”

“They are more important than us?”

“The crowd has seen a bunch of men in skirts. Now zebras, on the other hand, are a rarity.”

“How about we quit.”

“You can’t.”

“Why not?”

“Read the contract you signed.”

“But this is harassment.”

“Yeah, and it’s also covered.”

“I want a lawyer.”

“You are a lawyer.”

“Oh, yeah. I would say I have a fool for a client.”

  6. My goodness, you have an incredibly out-of-the-box way of seeing things, John. Elephants, zebras, a parade. Amazing. Bravo!

      1. LOL! I feel the same, but I suspect our experience is quite different. There are no elephants running around in my world.😄

  12. What kind of lawyer doesn’t read the fine print? Or the large print, for that matter – because something tells me this particular clause was not hidden!
    You always go in ways I never expect. I love that.
