Some people see things where others don’t, some people create things where others don’t see them, and then some people just don’t create or see, but they like to go to the sea…
Each week Rochelle Wisoff-Fields posts a pic to write a 100 word story about.
This week it’s sea-soned humor…

An Artist’s Path to the Sea
Arriving at the seaside inn, Peter spied a row of “I-don’t-know-what-the-heck-that-is” in the sand along rocky cliffs to the ocean.
Scratching his head, Peter said, “Looks like poop.”
Nora rolled her eyes. “Looks like cast iron. I see dolphins, whale and crocodile tails. An artist’s path to the sea.”
“All that?”
Nora nodded, typically indicating that Peter had no imagination.
“And my dear,” Peter retorted, “What does that horseshoe-shaped ‘A’ stand for?”
Without hesitating, Nora replied, “The artist put that there just for you. It stands for ‘Assho…’ ”
Peter spun her quickly towards the ocean, saying, “OK. Enough out of you.”

Fun read. It’s take an artist to see beyond the “poop”
I like your artistic eye and comment.
I think it takes an artist’s eye to see the poop. Well crafted fun flash.
Whop do you think I am – Poopeye?
Read Perry Block’s flash if you want some Poopeye.
Haha.
I believe that I am married to Peter. 😉
So you married Peter Pooper!
Na, just an ‘ol poop.
Ha.
I like that you went to the sea and gave us this vision. Splendid!
See sea, si.
Hey, do you know why the Pirate’s alphabet has more letters than the English alphabet?
Because the Pirate’s alphabets has 7 c’s.
Randy
Ah, I always wondered! You are so clever.
hahaha that was good.. and liked the reference to ‘A’.
Would you like some other references?
I could recite some in alphabetical order…
Randy
hahhaha no thanks!
Poor Peter! I missed the “A” shape. Funny.
Maybe you are looking for a “pear” shape?
I prefer those, myself.
Randy
Such a fun read 🙂
I like fun.
Randy
PS Did I mention that I like fun?
Dear Randy,
I’ll send Peter a quarter so he can buy an imagination. 😉 People like that baffle me, but I suppose I baffle them, too.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Ever been out on a baffle?
it’s baffling
A quarter for some imagination? And then I imagine, like football, you’ll be wanting your quarterback!
Don’t bother – you can’t buy imagination with money.
But I can imagine what I could do with it.
Randy
Hah – when I first looked at it I saw a giant buckle, but have to admit I’ve only just seen the A!
Ha. I never saw the giant buckle.
I have to admit I did see the pants.

When my youngest son (he’s 23 now) was in high school we “redid” his room. I bought him these letters to hang on the wall. They were his initials. His first name is Andrew and the letters never did get hung up they laid on the end table in the living room for the longest time. Whenever I would get especially aggravated with the way he was acting I would pick up the A and hold it up to him like you would hold a cross to a vampire and say “You think this stands for Andrew but it doesn’t!”
I love it..
Great story.
I’m glad his first name wasn’t Peter or Sam.
Randy
LOL….yes, that is a good thing.
You wrote what I thought when I first saw this photo! 😉
You wrote what I first thought you will go right when I saw you first think about what you thought I was going to write about this photo. Funny how great thoughts think alike.
Randy
what the hell did I write?
Must of been smoking Perry’s Popeye’s pipe!
🙂
Cute story. I think that’s enough out of her too!
Have you been talking to her, also?
Hah, this is perfect. This should be a piece of art, just as you described it, that would be great. I only saw the chain, and the links, and learned how they are made… you saw way beyond that.
I’m lazy. I hate to research things. You went way beyond me.
Meaning no disrespect, but most things are way beyond me
Vive la difference. I’m sure Peter has his uses. Funny story.
So – you see men as objects to be used.
I like that. Reverse sexist thinking.
Peter has informed me that he has now left Nora and has asked me to tell you that he is at your service!
He is shouting “Use me. Use me now” in the background!
Any thing you’s like me to tell him?
Your email address, your cell, may be your real address?
Opposites definitely attract. Thanks for pointing out that A in the chain. Well told
Good relationships, I think, have some similarities, some shared backgrounds, some differing interests, opposing personalities in many respects, and a certain degree of tolerance and the ability to express dislike mixed in with some trust and respect.
It’s all very simple – wouldn’t you agree?
Randy
Heh heh heh! I’m wondering if separate vacations are a better idea for this couple😀
As i was saying to aliciajamtaas – good relationships, I think, have some similarities, some shared backgrounds, some differing interests, opposing personalities in many respects, and a certain degree of tolerance and the ability to express dislike mixed in with some trust and respect.
It’s all very simple – wouldn’t you agree?
Randy
lovely twist at the end. i didn’t expect it. 🙂
It was the same twist again like we did last summer, as Chubby Checker would say.
That’s fun. Great dialogue.
Join us for more exciting conversation as the weeks and years pile up upon the shore of sand covered exchanges.
I always enjoy your playful dialogues, Amy. I can just see this one playing out! For me, it’s always the sea.
Randy! Ugh… if only we could delete our own comments! SO, I wrote that to you, I knew I was reading YOUR story, but I had just finished Amy’s… So, you’re in good company, with a very clever dialogue as well… Randy. 🙂
Hey, thanks Dawn!! I feel so special that you talk about me on Randy’s blog. 🙂 You’re sweet. I love the sea!
Hey. Cut that out – the two of you. I’m eavesdropping.
This is a blog. Not a chat room!
This mutual admiration society dialogue is so sweet and dripping, it’s getting to me like slippery sand on a seaweed covered beach.
Though, I must admit, it is nice to have such nice, attractive, intelligent women here in my blog.
Please come back soon. Do you ladies like rose, blush or white?
I want to roll around in the slippery sand now on the seaweed beach. That’s all I can think about, Randy. I feel so distracted. What was that you were asking? Something about a rose? Red please.
coming….
You ARE special! 🙂
only as SPECIAL as you 😉
You flatterer. 😉
Well, there you are. I missed the A altogether and just saw some exceedingly large chains lying on a beach, started to wonder what might lie at the other end of them (sea monster, maybe), thought about how much they weighed … and so it went on, until I moved on to consider what chains symbolised.
I often wonder if my life would be far less tiring if I went into less depths about everything.
Your story is a breath of fresh air and decidedly humorous in tone, yet it says a great deal about how opposites often attract. I get the feeling that Nora and Pete have been carrying on like that for years and will do so until death do them part.
Is your life tiring?
Consider things in too much depth? Need a breath of fresh air?

I agree. Enough is enough. It would be hilarious if it was the product of a dog. Peter sounds like a realist. 😀 — Suzanne
Fun read. I enjoy it.
