Welcome Dear Readers! This weekend’s Trifecta Writing Challenge is to write 33 words using these three words:
Ring
Water
Stage
Ring Lardner walked to the middle of the stage, took a sip of water and solemnly announced, “I’ve known what it is to be hungry, but I always went right to a restaurant.”
Ring Lardner was a sportswriter and short-story writer best known for this brilliant bit of dialogue:
“Are you lost, Daddy?” I asked tenderly. “Shut up,” he explained.
Until next time . . . I love you

Thanks Ruby!
Wow, what a likeable guy. lol
Brilliant!
Right now Rings ghost is saying “why didn’t I think of that?”!
I can just hear him now! I’ve always loved his line, “shut up, he explained. So glad an opportunity presented itself to use it!
This is so simple and it made me laugh. Great story!
Thanks for something completely different and quite humorous.
It was a fun challenge, I’m glad you liked my take, Belvah!
Lol! This is perfect. Only the truly deprived can’t come up with such a poignant statement. 🙂
So true! He doesn’t look so nice in the picture either. 😀

Ahahahahaha! :D!!

Things for the grin Linda. Nice to have a bit of humor in the prompt.
So glad you liked it Deb! 😀

I’m sure that quote would go viral in this day. Then he would slink away for a few years and come back fully absolved!
Thanks for this 😉
Heh, cute.
That’s clever! Thank you for linking up!
He comes off like a real jerk!
