Jake woke up with severe stomach pain. When he tried to get out of bed he lost his balance, but caught himself by leaning into the nearby dresser. His wife Vicky walked in the bedroom, seen how unsteady he was, and helped him back into bed.
Exhausted, he asked “Fix me another drink, would you, Vicky?”
“Of course, darling,” she replied tenderly.
Vicky returned with the drink, then leaned over Jake and kissed him. Jake grabbed her, tilted her head back for another kiss,
and said,
“ Open wide you, scurvy bitch, this time your drinking the arsenic, laced drink!”

If she put the arsenic in orange juice she would not have scurvy. Hey, when I die I wanna die healthy.
I don’t think orange juice would cures scurvy character.
Just old age…I’ll hope that for you too, Carl!

I love the way you provide us the oh so innocent picture and then let us have it near the end of the flash. You are indeed sneaky. That’s what makes your flash so fascinating.
So glad to hear all this from you, Sheri!
Thank you!

Revenge is sweet, Deb, but I never realised it could be found at the bottom of a bottle! Good tale, this one! Nice twist!
Wonder’s never cease. 😉

Deb, who would have known you had such a dark side hanging about. Well done!
Thought that was heading for a romantic tender moment, but alas you turned the tables.
