I Got A Rock!!!
Despite MJ's post below I got nothing (I was planning on titling my next post that long before MJ put up his).
I submitted a personal essay to the Erma Bombeck Contest recently. Not only did I not even place Honorable Mention, they didn't even contact me to let me know how I did or did not do.
I was stunned. I know my story (At the Front Gate, now found at Illini 6) was funnier than any of last year's winners. I can't bring myself to read this year's winners. You can read them though and let me know what you think.
I didn't even get to use my idea for a post name!
ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTE: Please go read the story. It seems absurd, but it is about 99% absolute truth. Forward Operating Base Salerno was a very strange place sometimes...

Okay... now, see I agree with Leather and Lace (aka Cowgirl). That was VERY funny... maybe it got lost in the mail or something????
Oh, and you "promised" another ghost story (ahem)... just sayin'...
Oh no you don't Shell. More comedy! :)
Great story! I forgot about the old 'You promised' trick!
LOL @ Major John... comedy is good!
