ooooo.... Truth or Consequences...

man...that sounds....foreboding... I mean, as the name of a motel or something...

Like, when you check in to the motel in the town...

"Name please..."

"Uhm... Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

"Ohhh....reeeeaallly???"

Reaches for button under the counter.... Trap door opens and dumps the people in a dungeon below...

Jeez... I always think these macabre thoughts....
I remember staying at this B&B out east...
And the elderly lady that owned the place was really quite nice,
but she did this "thing" with a REALLY sharp pair of hairdresser's scissors...
Kept opening and closing them ~~ SNIP SNIP SNIP SNIP over her lap while we were having tea and zucchini bread before we retired for the evening...

It was like some kind of nervous habit thing, I guess...
But man...did it ever strike me as scary...

Well, we go up to our room..
And it was like... well... a blistering hot night...
not like what you usually get down east...
So we left the room door open and stuck a fan in the window...

I looked down below the window
and noticed that her flower gardens were really beautiful..
I mean... like... gorgeous... well-fertilized probably...
uhm..... ahem....and then I started to think about that a bit more...
and about what kind of things could be underneath a garden like that....

well, then I climbed into the big old wooden 4-poster bed
with the handsewn crazy quilts...
and I snuggled up next to Mr. Croc...
and as we were lying there in the dark, I said:

"Did you notice anything...uhm...unusual about Mrs. _______ when we were having tea?"

"Uhm... you mean, THE SCISSORS?!"

"YES!! You noticed that too?!"

"Uhm...yep... pretty SCARY, eh?!!!"

"Do you think we should shut the bedroom door?"

"It's too hot... we'll die from the heat.... "

"Jeez... this is a dilemma... would I rather roast to death or be stabbed through the heart..."

"Uhm... I think stabbing would be quicker... Think I'd rather leave the door open and take a chance on the stabbing rather than the roasting... What about you?"

"Uh...yeah... I think I'd rather be stabbed than roasted too..."

~~~~~ And there you go... A little insight into the thought processes of a pair of vacationing Crocs....
