Welcome Dear Readers! This weekend’s Trifecta Challenge is to write a 33-word story using the word tooth.
An Ironic Twist of Fate
Let’s climb Mount Everest, Floss!
No way, Tooth!
Why?
Moi? Dental Floss? Climbing?
But you’ll be between a rock and a hard place . . .
Oh, I love that, Tooth!
Tell me about it, Floss!
* * *
Until next time . . . I love you

…but it’s too hot and humid to laugh! Thanks for forcing the guffaw anyway.
There’s nothing worse than hot and humid. Unless you have a horrible head cold and it’s hot and humid, which is what I imagine hell to be like! 😀
I admire Mr. Hillary. Thinking about good dental hygiene even at such lofty heights. Too bad he didn’t pack an extra container of floss, but one doesn’t want to over pack in such circumstances.
OMG you crack me up Linda!!
Ha! I can tell that you’ve been there done that or at the very least if you were going to go there and do that, you’d know how to pack, Valerie! So glad you to hear you liked my take!! 😀
Funny. Unexpected take and the unexpected is infinitely more fun.
Ah! Thanks so much LaTonya! 😀
Linda, you are so silly … and I mean that as a compliment. I have no use for people who can’t be silly.
I ALWAYS know I’m in for a treat when I see you’ve linked up. Another great piece!
Thank you Ivy! I take that has a very nice compliment indeed! :D!!!
I love this! Besides I can’t believe that a journalist would have written about this.
I bet his dentist would be proud of him for remembering to take his dental floss with him! 😀 So happy you liked it Gabriella!
Edmund Hillary reaches summit – of the wrong mountain!
“They told me this was Everest! What do you mean it;s K2? Why are all the Sherpas giggling?? Well, all these bloody mountains look the same!! Have I? Oh, I see, I see the camera – oh, you got me, you got me good! (breaks up in hysterical laughter.)
Next week on 1953’s best pranks – Julius and Ethel Rosenberg think the electric chair at Sing Sing is waiting for them – but we have another kind of shock for them!
LOL!! Goofy Historical mix ups! What a great concept! I love it, Seb!
Linda, you kill me! I love it! That journalist must have been so proud to get a new twist on the story!
Haha! I’m sure it beat out the journalist who found out what kind of ice cream he liked by digging through his garbage can! 😀
Linda, this must have been an early inspiration behind all those intriguing true-news stories we now have available at the check-out counter, exposing everything from cellulite on movie starlets to sordid hate-break affairs. To think, it all began with the tooth-aching realities of dental floss carelessness on an Everest climb – this guy was surely living dangerously!
Haha! Oh he was a dashing and daring fellow! And speaking of tabloids, do you remember when Hillary Clinton was running in the primaries and she told the news media she was named after Edmund Hillary because her mother was so impressed that he had climbed Mt. Everest! Only trouble was he reached the summit 6 years after she was born! LOL! I got such a kick out of that! 😀
I’ll bet she was hoping to be as evasive about her age as everything else she gets questioned on!!!!
Hahaha! You’re probably right. I wouldn’t be surprised if she wasn’t even sure herself how old she is!! 😀
Where do you get your ideas, Linda?! I can’t imagine that this is a true story! It is just too wacky and “out there”! But, coming from the mind of Linda Vernon, I can imagine it very well. Always a treat to read your great work, Linda. 🙂
Oh Tom! What a nice compliment! You always make me feel so good! Thank you!!!
And I really don’t know how I get my ideas. I usually just go with the very first thing that occurs to me — for better or for worse! 😀
That’s hilarious… 🙂
Thanks Bjorn! 😀
The Queen was dismayed, it’s a good thing he didn’t tell her what happened to his toothbrush.
Ahahahahahhahaha! Thanks for making me laugh, Idio!
He should have gone to Montana with Frank Zappa.
Hey! Hear that sound? I think it’s Sir Edmund Hillary slapping his forehead and then rolling over in his grave.
At least floss will remain happy!
Ha! Yes indeed! Floss really knows how to go with the flow (of the avalanche)!
Hahahaha! So clever. I love your posts Linda – guaranteed to brighten my day! 🙂
Oh Thank you Suzanne! Your comment brightened mine! 😀
This is most definitely different. I like that.
Thanks Draug! 😀
An entry from the viewpoint of a tooth? Clever! Thank you for linking up!
And thank you for your on-going writing inspirations, Trifecta!
Too funny! The climb sounds perfect – floss does like those tight spaces and apparently doesn’t mind getting a little dirty 🙂
Haha! You are so right Janna! Floss is turning out to be the MVP of the mountain climbing world of sports! 😀
This is clever and funny.
Ah thanks so much! 😀
