Lovely Susan from ‘Stony River’ organises and hosts this weekly meme. Thank you Susan J She provides a picture and the challenge is to create a story in 140 characters or fewer – including punctuation! 

Click here to read more marvels of microfiction – and perhaps join in. It’s fun!
Here is this week’s picture accompanied by my offerings.
‘You’re so strong,’ she gasped. ‘So virile, but one thing troubles me.’
‘Tell me’, he answered.
‘What happened to your other ear?’
(128 characters)

‘The cream has worked wonders on your hands. They’re so smooth. Next we should try doing something about your complexion – and your teeth.’

    Good ones, both! That wing does look like an ear at this angle. :)

    That's what this tin man needs a make over! Makes perfect sense to me. Very nice!

    Love the missing ear one!!
    And the teeth - yes, he has dreadful teeth! But I wonder what wonders the handcream managed to work on those hands.
    Just super, Janice!

    I love the first one! I never noticed the ear! But I'm sure she doesn't consider that part of his anatomy too important!

    Haha--both are good but the first one is my favourite. Let's hope his other parts make up for the missing ear!
    Have a great week. Cheers!

    not witty? Where did this post come from, then?

    If that's not witty, I don't know what is. it made me laugh.

    I'll try the follower button again, perhaps it'll work this time.
    Try mine ?
