This meme is easy and it's fun! Thanks, Susan for hosting.

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!

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

    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.)

    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.

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