And here's the picture for this Microfiction Monday!



He watched her staring at the poster.
Don't worry hon, I'm not enlisting.
Good thing, you couldn't pass the physical any more than I could!

Hi its still me from random short stories but having starting to do more 140 and less character bits I decided to set up this site Random Twitter Stories. refreshing/recycling some old twitter stories to get it going. Anyway back to yours... yes but did they fall in love and remember this moment for ever?

Nice Sylvia;
The wife sure wasn't stroking her husbands ego now was she?
Loved your idea.
It's fun, right pal? So glad you joined!

Gotta love those physicals, I got one coming up soon, need to renew my drivers licence so as I can drive the buses.

Nice take on the photo.

This hit home, as my husband has a flat foot which would have given him a 4-F rating.

THAT is funny!

Susan at Stony River said...

ROFL! You know men all right: "Don't worry hon" and sure enough she wasn't!!

It might have been herself on the poster and he didn't even notice!
:-D

Good one Sylvia!
I can visualize the whole scene played out between the two of them!

No love lost between those two by the sound of it. Great take on the picture, Sylvia :-) Hope you have a cracking good week.

What a long way we've come, hey?

(And I'm sure I couldn't pass the physical either - just the thought of all those pushups makes me want to take a nap LOL.)

Good take on it, and too true.

juliana said...

ouch! and ROFLMAO!
great story!

hope said...

Man, if physicals were a requirement for all jobs, too many of us would be unemployed for all the wrong reasons. :)

I like the spin on this one.

Charlene Amsden said...

I tried to pass the physical. They told me to come back when I was a half-inch taller. Pft.

A Blog In The Rough said...

Yes who wants to pass the physical anyway, let's be happy we don't get drafted! :)

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
