Lies and Other Wonders

Tweet

As my friends here on the MyLot place all know too well, not very many of the things I tell here are able to stand the "test of truth." Don't feel bad about my spreading the facts into really thin layers. As soon as I learned how to say several words, beginning around the age of two or so, people figured things out and learned how to bend my stories into almost-facts. We all got along really well, and they allowed me to grow older and wordier. So here is one of my factual tales for you to read, right here on the MyLot story farm. * * * * * * * * * * A guy was drinking up a storm in the bar located on the twentieth floor of a downtown hotel. All of a sudden, he went over to a window, opened it, and out he jumped. He went out about 15 or 20 feet, thereabouts, circled back through the open window, and yelled out, "Wowie... Those horizontal air currents are really STRONG tonight". Then he sat down and started drinking again where he had earlier left off. Another guy, having heard what the first guy had yelled, thought "Hey, that sounds like fun." He went over to the open window and jumped out. He fell straight down to the concrete pavement twenty floors below. The bartender said to the first guy, "Superman, you surely are MEAN when you get drunk. * * * * * * * * * * Yes.
