He was lounging in his tree, watching the Plant. He knew that the time for action would come. Maybe not soon, but come it would. He was getting annoyed. There was a persistent buzzing in his ear. Other customers wanting his unique "services." They did not know the meaning of "wait," even after he had stapled the page from the dictionary to their foreheads.

He was going to have to revise his answering machine to include a "with extreme prejudice" option.

That's where he's going wrong - when they look in the mirror to read it, the writing will be back to front

The safety pin sock laid there as if to say, you can always use a spare pair of socks, can't you? Just in case?

Strange --- the sock just laying there (lying there?). I always pictured them standing up. But perhaps they "play dead" when somebody notices them.

They mostly roll themselves around.

In war, there are casualties. My job is to make certain I'm not one of them. That's why I sent Major Biggles into the field..... That, and I needed some peace and quiet....

Hmmm. I wonder how socks would work as earplugs. For that desired peace and quiet.....

yvanleterrible · 10-13-2009, 08:22 PM

I had a sequel but the paper's lost... in the mess on my desk I'm told...!

Parrot.

That's what's needed.

A parrot. A Pacificist Parrot. A Pacifist Parrot that has a degree and doctorate in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) from Oxford. And it should be the puppet-master for the British Prime Minister. It also needs some character quirks. Say it should be scared of, oh, maybe seals and a tea-cosy. And it should be far too fond of a tipple of port (preferably tawny). And her name should be something like Montbretia Quincux the Sixth (known to her friends as Croc, and her enemies as Trouble).
