Buy One, Get One Free … who can resist a BOGOF! Scott, you softie, that was VERY heartwarming … and excellent use of ‘finagle’!

Thank you, finally my cheapskate grocery shopping yields a story idea!

Feasts and Fables's avatar

You have to grab those ideas wherever they turn up … two ideas for the price of one!?!

Oh, beautiful, Scott. You touched my old heart with this story. Hearing nothing but bad news in the world all the time is so exhausting and dispiriting. You have lifted me. Thank you.

OK, that one made me cry. I remember when my sister and I would go to foster homes and one of the parents would want to adopt one of us, but my father insisted that we were a Bogo also.

Many thanks, that’s especially meaningful

But WAIT! If you order now, at no extra cost, you'll get ANOTHER! Just pay a small handling fee. But you must act fast!

That’s our special on Wise Men

I was shocked until I reread the part about a large BOX with two heads. Whew! Glad it had a happy ending!

Scott MacLeod's avatar

Maybe i should have said smiling or living heads in the boxes!!

Kim Smyth's avatar

Nah, its better just as it is, it made me reread it!
