A 20008 study revealed that patchouli was the most effective essential oil in killing house flies.....which, I'm certain, is the reason they were wearing the Emperor's new clothes. 💚
Thanks! Unsplash is such a great source of photographs. I thought these were just perfect. I used to think 50-word stories were just a word game, foolishness. I have changed my mind. They are really teaching me to find the essence and leave out the "fluff". And just being "telegraphic" is not doing it properly.
My imagination is running WILD, Sharron - what a fantastic story! And that last line - well, it sounds as if you read the room absolutely perfectly when you stumbled across those two...! 😳

Hah ha ha! That study might have had different results in 1969...
Hahah! I was not expecting this. You're right Sharron, I can't unsee it!
Nice job with only 50 words.

Eeuuw! Embarrassing. Uncle Charles? Really? I think not.
🤣
Oh-Oh!!
I know, right? Just tiptoe out...
Exactly!
The last line is delicious, Sharron. Loved this little slice of cringe. 😬
Cringe-worthy! I have arrived!
Ah! Ha, what an ending, Lol! Very nice twist at the end, Sharron.
Yikes, how can I unsee this, now?
It will fade, Jenise, give it a few days. Weeks.
Hahaha! This is hilarious, and my God...now I can’t unsee it either. All of the comments are cracking me up, too. 🤣
I guess I should apologize to every one for leaving them with that sort of icky image in their heads... Sorry. Not sorry.
Is champaign tango patchouli a thing?! I'm scared! 😅
Keep calm, Mud-boy. Just a bit of fiction. But, I don't know... would you like it to be a thing? I mean, it could be.
Probably how whiskey foxtrot got started!
