not sure if that counts as a cameo fic, but hope you liked it.  the "mr wilson" cameo was an old thought sparked off by alt clark's post. it seemed to fit into the story. anyway, thoughts, suggestions, comments, constructive criticism, and whatever else you may have (other than ![[Linked Image]](http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/otn/funny/tomato.gif) :p ) can go here.

You know, you mentioned that you were cooking up something like this, and I still didn't see that coming! Nicely done.  The Wilson/Wilson duality was very cute. The name, by the way, is pronounced 'oh', as in 'dough', not 'uff' as in 'tough' or 'rough. Great!
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

LOL! Well, you totally caught me off guard. I was sitting frantically trying to figure out who it could be before reaching the end. What a great idea, Paul. I burst out laughing at the end. Annie

Very funny! I knew who it was supposed to be, but then when we got the name 'Ough', you lost me for a bit until the end. Very cute! Irene

As I was reading it I was trying to figure out which challenge it was a response to, but I didn't realise til the end! It was hilarious!  I also noticed that it was a Mr Wilson that tried to murder Jimmy... Loriel

This one had me giving more of an "oh" as in groaning than anything when I got to the end. :p But I'm wondering, I don't remember John Rhys-Davies ever doing Mr. Wilson. *boggle*

This was fun all the way through, Paul -- I particularly liked the Dennis the Menace reference! But that name thing confused me til the last line, when it abruptly turned hilarious. PJ

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

I enjoyed this very much, Paul. I thought it might be a response to the cameo challenge but wasn't sure till the end. Great play with the words! Cammmie Ough! Loved it! ~Sira

Typically Hatman.
Clever, humorous, short, and with a twist at the end. You've done it again Paul.
Nicely done.

wow, thanks for the FDK, guys. i'm glad you liked it. rivka, thanks for pointing out the error. i've fixed it now. karen, i'm glad you recognized john rhys-davies. for those of you who didn't, i cast him as cammie. you can see his imdb filmography here . as you can see, he's had quite a few roles- more than twice kevin bacon's list. the thing is, they're all either small parts in big movies or big parts in small (low budget) movies. for example, listing #47: "Stargate (1994) (uncredited) .... Shouting Arab Digger." i thought he'd be perfect as cammie. i'm a little worried, though, that both you and tank seemed to think cammie was mr wilson. you're right that john rhys-davies has had nothing to do with dennis the menace (afaik, anyway). cammie (played by john rhys-davies) was the EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) who saved jimmy after mr wilson tried to kill him. just part of mr ough's tendency to pop up in random places. do i need to make that clearer? anyway, thanks again, everyone. it's wonderful to get so many enthusiastic comments. Paul

cammie (played by john rhys-davies) was the EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) who saved jimmy after mr wilson tried to kill him. Doh. Reasons why I should think things more thoroughly when I'm half-asleep. :-D I've seen Rhys-Davies in quite a few things, but remember him more from Sliders. I'm glad he didn't call anyone a "blithering idiot".

I'm just catching up on this now, since it was posted while I was on vacation. Very funny, Paul!
I thought the whole thing was very cute, but then I got to the end and really started laughing. Cammie Ough ... very clever.
A signature Paul fic!
