Under the Rainbow

Ron gazed upon the double rainbow with awe and admiration. A strange sensation swept over him, sending a tingle down his spine.

Unlike those who ran away to join the circus, he ran to escape it. His father was a juggler, his mother a trapeze artist.

Finding employment had been difficult. His unruly hair, goofy grin, and oversized feet proved to be unwelcome liabilities in the job market.

Sitting in the lobby with a dozen other applicants, Ron cast a wish upon the rainbows. The sky began to clear.

“Mr. McDonald,” said the receptionist, “Mr. Kroc will see you now.”

Call Me in the Morning

“Good morning, doctor. I’m Sergeant Friday, this is Officer Gannon. What seems to be the problem?”

“Some woman called, woke me up, complaining of a bellyache.”

“What made you suspicious of her activities?”

“She combined two substances and consumed them. What do you need from me?”

“Just the facts ma’am.”

“Her brother bought a coconut for a dime. She had another, paid it for a lime. She put the lime in the coconut and drank ‘em both up.”

“What did you tell her?”

“You’re such a silly woman. Call me in the morning and I’ll tell you what to do.”
