What kind of monster person would have a prompt like that? If you want to know go here http://lindaghill.com/2015/05/22/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-may-2315/ and see for yourself. Here is my interpretation of ke.

KE by John W. Howell © 2015

“So I called the guy at KE and you know what he said?”

“You take me for a mind reader? No, I don’t know and what is KE anyway?”

“KE is Kendall Energy. I put in for a job there and thought it would be a piece of cake.”

“So what did he say for heaven’s sake?”

“Mr. Kendall himself told me to take a hike.”

“No kidding. I thought you were on the fast track. Why’d he put on the brake?”

“He said my resume was a fake.”

“How’d he come to that decision? Sounds like a muck rake.”

“I thought so too. Then he asked me what kind of metal used in a transformer bake.”

“What the hell is that? What does the bake make?”

“That’s the problem. I had no way to avoid the fact that I had no idea. It was like being in a wake.”

“Why didn’t you know? You are an electrical engineer? You even know the source of a lightning quake.”

“I guess my nerves made me shake, and I forgot.”

“Here take this sake and relax. We need to do something else.”

“I think that’s key. Thanks.”

Stick by John W. Howell © 2015

“I have to ask you why you are bent over like that?”

“I am looking for water.”

“For water? What is that you are holding/”

“It’s a divining rod.”

“Ha. It looks like a stick to me.”

“That’s because you stick to your usual practical comfort zone.”

“Comfort zone? At least I stick to the normal practices.”

“I don’t call your practices normal.”

“And you pointing a stick at the ground is normal?”

“Stand back. I hear something.”

“What do you hear?”

“The sound of money rumbling underground.”

“Money?”

“Yeah, water is money. Stick with me my friend and we will be rich.”

“Stick with you and get locked up.”

“You are like a stick in the eye.”

“Well, you can stick your stick if you get my drift.”

“Nice. Look out here comes the geyser.”

“Still waiting. Better stick to normal practice.”

Name by John W. Howell ©2015

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

“What’s that you’re saying?”

“Oh, nothing just a quote.”

“A quote? From where or what?”

“It’s from Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet.”

“Who are they?”

“Shakespeare?”

“No, the other two. I know Shakespeare. They make fishing equipment.”

“For heaven’s sake. It is the sonnet writer William Shakespeare.”

“He on YouTube?”

“No, he lived in the sixteen hundreds and wrote beautiful poetry.”

“So he lived uptown?”

“What do you mean uptown?”

“Well, the sixteen hundreds are way uptown.”

“Man alive. Why do I even try?”

“So the other two what’s their name. What’s the story on them?”

“They were lovers who were from families that hated each other.”

“So they couldn’t be seen together and they died under tragic circumstances.”

“Wow. I’m impressed. How did you know?”

“I saw Westside Story. That’s what happened in that movie.”

“Yeah, it happened in the movie as well I guess although I think Romeo and Juliet inspired the movie.”

“Well, I didn’t know that was true.”

Does it change your mind about Shakespeare?”

No, should it?”

“It should make you think about stuff more.”

“I guess you’re right.  I have something to say but should think it through.”

Now you’re talking. When you’re ready say it.”

“Want to get a beer that by any other name would still taste good?”

“Well, it’s a start. Sure, Why not?”

Naught/Knot/Not by John W. Howell © 2105

“What is that thing?”

“It’s a rope. You can see that can’t you?”

“Because of its color I thought it might have been a snake.”

“Colored? Oh, I see the green and brown.”

“Yes. So what are you doing with that rope?”

“It’s not just any old rope either.”

“Oh yeah. What makes it out of the ordinary.”

“Not out of the ordinary amazingly special.”

“I give up. What makes it so special?”

“No matter how you do it the rope can’t be tied in a knot.”

“That’s nonsense. Give it to me.”

“Here you are. Try making a knot.”

“Look I have made a triple bowline-on-a-bite with two half hitches.”

“You sure? Give it a shake.”

“Wow, look at that. The knot fell right out. There is no knot.”

“I told you. Want to try again?”

“No that was my best shot. Here take it back. What do you call that kind of rope anyway?”

“It’s called a Naught Knot Not rope.”

“Who in the hell named it that name?”

“Look up top at the intro. Who do you think?”

“Linda right?”

“Right.”
