Hello Dear Readers! Happy Wednesday! The only day of the week that has a hump — giving the rest of the days of the week something to grip onto thus keeping them from flying off into space.
Plus Wednesday is also Friday Fictioneers Day, hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields-Addicted to Purple — so it’s all good.
Here’s the prompt picture which will serve as this week’s inspiration for a 100-word story provided by Dawn M. Miller.
Benny Flump’s French
Mademoiselle Bouillabaisse-Bourgeois crossed the lobby of the Eiffel Tower, and all eyes drank of her beauty like they were drinking a tumbler of Chardonnay after eating a 16-inch baguette.
But no eyes drank more than Benny Flump’s. Benny’s eyes were bigger than his stomach when it came to beautiful French women. And Benny thought Mademoiselle Bouillabaisse-Bourgeois the most beautiful creature he had ever pronounced.
They would marry!
At the top of the Eiffel Tower she said “I do.” Benny replied “adieu” and then jumped.
Oh, Benny Flump’s French left a lot to be desired I should have probably said earlier.
Until next time . . . I love you
Linda Vernon Humor 
ahaha!
My French leaves a lot to be desired as well. Though I suspect Benny was not the brightest of sparks.
Haha! Yes Benny was the only sparkler in the box that wouldn’t light that’s for sure Summers! 😀
Crackers but I laughed 🙂
Glad to hear it Paul. 😀
Well, I had to laugh. Couldn’t quite figure out how this went with the prompt, but it was a cute joke, especially descriptively…
Aha! Lindaura! I don’t blame you. How it all ended up in France I’ll never know! It just kept changing and changing and changing. I just lucky it ended up taking place on planet Earth! ;D
Her last name was really a mouthful. I don’t understand why he jumped. He’d hadn’t even met her mother yet.
LOL!! Good point Russell– one for which I cannot an answer come up with.
Were they married by Father Vicheysois, darling? That name buggers belief. This was quite funny.
No but he will be renewing their vows, if Benny survives the fall!. If Benny survives the fall
haha i was smiling from ear to ear from the beginning. this was fantastic 🙂
Oh so glad to hear that KZ! :D!
So many images the name ‘Mademoiselle Bouillabaisse-Bourgeois’ conjours up, lol 🙂
Haha! It does have a nice ring to it! ;D
Fortunately for Benny’s linguistic skills, SPLAT! sounds the same in any language.
Ahahahhahaha! I guess it is the universal language at that! 😀
I was going to write something inappropriate. I changed my mind. You’re welcome.
You are so proactive it boggles the mind, Undercover! HA!
Very funny! 🙂 Well done.
Thanks Sandra! 😀
FUNNY!
Thanks Pirate! So glad you enjoyed this. 😀
Both funny and clever for sure!
Oh thank you, Claudie! 😀
Now that was funny. I am always jealous of those who can write funny stuff. But it’s a good jealous. Means I read what you write and enjoy myself. 🙂
Well, that’s the best compliment of all. Thanks Jackie! 😀
Geez, he gets the girl then jumps? What a moron! lol
Really! But maybe he just couldn’t take a life time of pronouncing her name! 😀
Dear Linda,
One word: Deeee-lightful!
Shalom,
Rochelle
Ah! Thank you so much Rochelle! 😀
Oh Benny, you were a bold man to propose to her and manage saying her wondrous name… I hope you survived the fall!
Oh I bet he did Zooky. I’ll bet he landed in that big mote of bouillabaisse that, as we all know, surrounds the Eiffel Tower. 😀
Hi Linda,
I think it’s called jumping to conclusions, which is exactly what Benny did, a Flump jump. If only he hadn’t killed himself, maybe he would have met Rosetta Stone! Ron
Ahahah! A Flump Jump!!! Ron! Where were you when I was writing this story? But I hear Rosetta Stone is quite the talker, and only a few people can understand what she’s saying.
Oh Benny…but I wonder, could she have pushed him? I mean, would she really want to take the name Flump? Her maiden name is so much more elegant 🙂
Hahaha! Now that’s a darn good point, Carrie! HA! 😀
Lol. this was a fun read:)
Ah! So glad you enjoyed it, nightlake! 😀
Dear LVH,
Do I like it? I do.
Adieu (and Aloha),
Doug
Haha! Thank you Doug! Aloha right back at cha!
Some really clever stuff here. The absurd simile in para 1, the names, the most beautiful creature he had ever pronounced, the appalling English/French pun. Surreal and great fun.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Patrick. And oh I’m so tickled you found it surreal. You made my day!
Anyone drinking Chardonay by the tumbler probably have a good reason to jump from the tower.
Hah! So true! And you just opened up a whole other story line too with that comment, Bjorn! 😀
A predictable ending for a klutz named Benny Flump.
Haha! So true! Poor Benny Flump was destined to flop! 😀
Even their last names show how many worlds apart they are. Poor Benny~
Good point. Let’s face it, she was out of his league, syllable wise! 😀
Great story – ‘…drinking a tumbler of Chardonnay after eating a 16-inch baguette.’ is such a fantastic line and paints a great image. I’m surprised she said I do, and it’s a great pity he misheard!
Since she said “I do” it was probably her who drank that tumbler of Chardonnay! HA! Thanks for coming by Sarah Ann! 😀
