That's just wonderful! I'm so sorry, Honey. We saved for years for this vacation and just our luck - just before we get here, some jerk throws a packet of desiccant in the pool!

I picked this one as that is sort of how I felt when I found out it was under construction.

You are up next.

Thank you, Duane, and sorry I took so long to post mine.
After searching for a worthy photo for this spot, I realized my pickings are slim. But I'm sure the great minds that frequent this thread can do wonders with this one and I look forward to the responses -

"I'm surprised anyone would even have to ask, we were obviously bred to catch rats and retrieve ducks." "Ok, we do dress somewhat differently on our days off."


Replacing my Canon 7D, Tokina 12-24mm, Canon 17-55mm, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 150-500mm with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I still have the 17-55 and the 30 available for sale.

Due to the great avalanche of responses, picking the best was absolutely illusive! But, after re-reading them several times and very careful consideration, I have finally narrowed down the field of fantastic narratives and prose down to this one. Runner up goes to all the others. They were just marvelous! Thank you! My, that was fun.

Tag, you're it, cacawcacaw!

Gosh, I hope I haven't killed this thread!

GEORGE: The sea was angry that day my friends… like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli!

(Jerry gives Kramer a "What the --" glance)

GEORGE: I got about fifty-feet out and suddenly, the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he let out a great bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then, as I watched him struggling I realized, that something was obstructing it's breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!

JERRY: Mammal.

GEORGE: Whatever.

KRAMER: Well then, what did you do next?

GEORGE: Well then, from out of nowhere, a huge tidal wave lifted me, tossed like a cork and I found myself right on top of him, face to face with the blow-hole. I-I, I could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me but, I knew something was there… so I reached my hand in, felt around and pulled out the obstruction!

(George reaches into his inside jacket pocket and dramatically pulls something out in his clenched fist -- holding it up in the air for a second, then displays a golf ball holding it in mid air for the remaining 28 seconds of the scene)

(Elaine looks on, mouth wide open in amazement. Jerry turns and looks at Kramer also in amazement and George, while staring at Kramer, holds out the ball in the air… Kramer sits quietly, squirming -- and it’s 21 seconds until Kramer speaks)

KRAMER: What is that a Titleist?

GEORGE: (Silently squinches his mouth and nods at Kramer)

KRAMER: A hole in one eh.

JERRY: Well the-the crowd must have gone wild!

GEORGE: Ohh yes, yes. Yes Jerry they were all over me. It was like Rocky 1, Hm. Diane came up to me, threw her arms around me…

KRAMER: (quietly) Um-hm.

GEORGE: …kissed me. We both had tears streaming down our faces. I never saw anyone so beautiful. It was at that moment that I decided to tell her that, I was not a marine biologist.

JERRY: Wow! What'd she say?

GEORGE: Told me to "Go to hell!" and I took the bus home.

(George stuffs the golf ball in his shirt pocket)

JERRY: All right lets go.

The Easter egg hunt was a disaster this year. We couldn't tell the easter eggs from the turtle eggs.

The folks in Nevada never thought it would happen, but they came out in droves to see their new beach front property after California finally fell into the ocean.

When George Lucas got the idea of the light saber.


Canons to the left, Canons to the right,
We hold our L glass toward the light,
Digitizing in a snap reflective glory
That will forever tell our imaged story.

Grandma's alzheimer's really became a problem when she mistakenly wrapped up her vibrator for Juniors birthday.
