My assignment for Round 1 was Comedy, the action required was avoiding a question, and the story must include the word consider.
========================================================
“Lucy, I’m home. Say, did you bounce a check?”
“What George? Can’t hear you. Water’s running.”
“The bank called about an over—“
“Did you say the IRS called? You didn’t file the taxes.”
” I have an extension.”
“No you don’t, you lent the extension-ladder to Fred.”
“Arrrg! Not funny.”
“A doctor calling isn’t funny.”
“Huh?”
“People get fatal diseases every day.”
” I’m not sick, Lucy. What about the overdraft?”
“Well, George, I read that a lot of marriages end due to unrealistic expectations.”
“What?”
“It’s something to consider, honey.”
“Can I leave and come in again?”
