Doug (TKG’s brother-in-law) stumbled through the door and sank down into his recliner. With his right arm he rubbed the back of his left shoulder. “Ouchie!!!” he whined.
“What’s going on Doug?” Our hero The Kansas Gastronomist entered the scene.
“Oh. Hey TKG. Nothing. I just have an ouchie.” Doug responded. “See yesterday I was at a groundbreaking in my suit and tie. And I had to stick a shovel in some loose dirt that was in a vacant parking lot.” Doug went on. “And not only that…I had to stand there for like 20-seconds for the cameras!”
“Wait…what? Loose dirt in a parking lot? How’d it get there?” TKG inquired.
“Oh…well…it was moved there. You know like one of those trucks that move dirt? From the dirt store…I guess. I don’t really know where dirt comes from. But anyway, the truck goes to the parking lot and somehow it’s spread in a long line about ‘yay’ thick.” Doug moved his hands so that they were 4-feet apart. “And then I get my brand new hard hat on, grab a brand new shovel and it’s go-time.”
“Honestly Doug…that might be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard of!!!” TKG screamed. “Don’t ever do it again, definitely don’t tell people about it and whatever you do…don’t post about it on social media. That’d be simply stupid.”
End scene.
