Microfiction Monday: Divorce, Cactus-Style

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the world's best meme, coming to you from Susan at Stony River. One of the highlights of a dangerous writer's week. Enjoy.
Jorge was kicking himself. He never should've badmouthed Marta's cooking. Not when SHE was on the ponkey and they were 90 miles from home. (138 characters)

(Remember the ponkey from Microfiction 6/6/10? He's back!!)

    He should be kicking himself for the colors of that outfit...unless Marta picked it out. :)

    Nice one!

    I think Jorge better watch what he says to Marta for a while. Who knows what she could do next! Good one, love the Ponkey in the background!

    Excellent! She may forgive him someday but in the meantime, he'd better start walking!

    Never bad mouth cooking if you're more than six feet away from the next meal!

    Excellent MM :)

    That was too funny! Glad to see the return of 'ponkey'....and hopefully that is one man who has learned a lesson!
    Have a great week. Cheers!

    And after Jorge kicked himself, he walked 90 miles to get home and promptly divorced Ana.
