When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Tomato-proof, schomato proof. This was priceless! For example, "oh, it was probably some jerk with a shrink ray" is not, in fact, considered a normal response to the question, "hey, what happened to my lunch?" ROTFL! and then calmly said, "Dad, there's a monster in my closet." Dad knows to take these things seriously LOL!!!! I'm going to have to hope that no one makes a big deal of things when I hand the teacher a note that says, "Please excuse Laurel Kent. Her book report was eaten by a zombie. Sincerely, Superman." I'm dying here! This was too funny! Sounds like your imagination is running over time -- which is good. But I'm sure glad I'm not handing in excuses like Zombies ate my homework.  At least she's got newspaper clippings to support her story.  Bethy

 (that's laughing so hard I cried) What Bethy said! Sheesh, she even quoted my favorite parts. (Hey Bethy, can I have my brain back when you're done with it? ) This was absolute comedy gold, and with a Halloween theme, AND a "Z" story. Very impressive!  'Scuse me, I have to go read it again. Oh! Almost forgot my absolute favorite line! So, I guess he figured "if life hands you lemons, make lemonade" or something like that. Maybe more like "if life hands you lemons, laugh maniacally and use the chemical energy to power your evil device." 
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.

Anyway, he sent his zombies to our house. Of course. Somehow, these things always end up coming to our house. ROTFL!

I always hated it when Zombies did that. Unfortunately, my teachers never believed my notes of excuse. Go Figure.
Nicely done.

That's hysterical, Paul  If you ever remember what the rest of that saying is, please let us know... PJ
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
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."

Such a little thing really, a kiss...most people don't give it a moment's consideration. They kiss on meeting, they kiss on parting, that simple touching of flesh is taken entirely for granted as a basic human right.

Gasp ... can't type ... can't breathe ... Just when I thought you couldn't possibly come up with another story as funny as King of the Green City, you go and post this one! Everyone has quoted all of my favorite lines already, but this was absolutely hysterical. I think I'm going to run out of Kerth categories to nominate it in, LOL! You are a genius! Kathy (who is equally delighted that she guessed Laurel's name from the story behind it, LOL)

Paul... How do you *do* that??? I think you're definitely the funniest writer in folcdom. All my favorite lines have already been quoted, so I won't bother. But this was just such a *perfect* story! The title reminds me vaguely of the "My teacher is an alien" series. Not sure why. Thanks for sharing!
