There I sat. I was at a video poker machine on a cruise ship headed for Nassau Bahamas.
No children, no grandchildren. Just me and my husband having fun with no place to be and no appointments for the next 5 days. Life couldn't get any better. O.K. It was a company trip and we had to attend a meeting tomorrow evening along with 200 other people but for now...... we were on our own.
As I sat there, playing my machine and talking to my husband, others started wandering in that knew him. Before I knew it, the casino was full of employees from his company and it was obvious that the bars had been their first stop. I looked up from my computer game just as someone's wife walked in. She had bright orange hair and was wearing a blue sequined dress. She was wearing 4 inch spiked heals.
I looked at my husband and said (1) "OMG.... it's a regular freak show, isn't it?"
She walked over to us and nodded towards her husband, who was chugging a giant cocktail.... it wasn't his first. (3)"Oh great. Here comes Mr. Cranky-pants." She smiled and said, "he is the last person I want to hang out with when I am having fun." She gave a nervous laugh as he headed our way.
I had no idea who she was and I couldn't help but stare at her.
I asked her what her name was and she replied, (2)" It's Bunny, at least that's what the fellas call me."
Mr. Cranky-pants, a regional manager, came over to our little group. He glared at his wife, through the bottom of his almost empty glass and said,(6) "If you ever leave me alone with those people again, I swear on your mother's left kidney that I will poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick."
She laughed and said she loved his sense of humor. She looked at him and said," Honey, you know Nana and Poppo don't you?" She winked at us and said, (7) Drat. I forgot to pick up my unicycle." She then walked away leaving us with drunk Mr. Cranky-pants.
Now her problem had become ours. I tried to engage him in conversation but I could barely understand his slurred words.
Just then, a woman bumped in to me and I asked him if he had any idea who she was. I think she was with us but since our drunk guest knew more people than we did, I thought I would ask him who she was.
He stared at her through glazed eyes as she walked away and tried to remember if he knew her.
After a few more seconds of staring at her, he looked at me and said, "I think she is (5) Lady Gloria Faducci. I still don't know if she's British."
Well that made absolutely no sense to me and I thought it was my turn to find away to relieve myself of his presence.
I had been sitting at my machine putting money in and playing without paying any attention to it for the last few minutes when all of the sudden, the bells started ringing and the buzzers started going off. The attendant came over and told me I had won the jackpot.
This was my big opportunity, so I went over to the cashier to collect my winnings, leaving my husband behind with his "new friend". I collected my money and slipped out the door.
Hours later, my husband walked in to the bar I was sitting at along with the orange haired lady. She wasn't as bad as she looked and we were having a great time drinking and listening to the kareoke singers.
My husband plopped himself down beside us and ordered himself a drink.
I looked at him and said," I'm sorry I ditched you with Mr. Cranky-pants. By the way, where is he?"
He took a drink from his glass, sat it down and said, "I have no idea, I left him a long time ago, no thanks to you!"
I said, " where did you leave him?"
He looked at me and responded, " At the bar by the casino. I just kept buying him drinks and when I felt like he wouldn't notice, I got up and left."
"Did he notice you go?" I asked.
(4) "IDK, he just sat there saying,"Jimmy likes the blue fire truck." he said.
His wife spoke first, "If it wasn't for the kids and his money, I would leave him."
Poppo wondered outloud how a drunk got to such a high possition of authority in the company.
I was wondering where the heavy breathing was coming from on the back of my neck.
Just then, out of no where, Mr. Cranky-pants, put his arms around all of us with money hanging from each fist, and he asked where the party went to. He announced that he had leaned on a slot machine and had won big.
His wife, seeing the money, put her arms around him and said, "Honey, the party is in our room. Let's go to bed."
With that, she led him from the room and up the stairs.
I knew that he would see us again and he would never remember having met us that night. I was grateful that it was her taking him to his cabin and not me. While no marriage is perfect, some are certainly better than others and mine was definitely better than that.

Jimi Hendrix that is, but Mr Cranky-pants could never spell his name right.
Lady Gloria Faducci. I still don't know if she's British, but anyway...

As a vendor, my boss went on my routes with me on a regular basis. When we arrived to Wal-Mart, and went back to the software, I heard someone groan, "Oh great. Here comes Mr. Cranky-pants." Nobody liked him. He was the feminine type of guy who was always trying too hard to assert his masculinity which made him look even worse. A really cute stocker walked past us, but he seemed femine too. He seemed to take a particular interest in my boss. When he asked my boss what his name was, he began blushing and batting his eyelashes. "It's Bunny...at least that's what the fellas call me."
How embarrasing. I ripped into him. "I have to work with these people! If you ever flirt with the employees in this store again, I swear on your mother's left kidney that I'll choke you with a spatula."
We kept on working, but we were distracted by the employees running around chanting in unison with Shrek ears on their heads. I couldn't believe it. "OMG....it's a regular freak show." My boss ignored me...he wanted to know what the returns department said about our damaged goods. I told him I had gone to the back to inquire...but the employee there was ALSO wearing the Shrek ears and when I asked him about our returns, IDK, he just sat there saying "Jimmy likes the blue fire truck."
Then the department manager joined into the chanting with a very flawed British accent. "Who is that?" my boss inquired. "Oh, that's Lady Gloria Faducci, I still don't know if she's British." Again,he ignores me. Then out of nowhere he says he remembers he has a clown class for early that afternoon. "Drat. I forgot to pick up my unicycle." At this point, I told him just to leave.

She was just chattering away. I didn't think she'd ever stop. "Blah, blah, blah...Lady Gloria Faducci. I still don't know if she's British....blah, blah..." she droned on, when I started laughing uncontrollably. It took a minute or two, but she finally noticed and said, "What's up with you? I didn't think Lady Gloria Faducci was that funny. Or are you laughing at *me*?!"
"No, no, no," I managed to choke out. "It's just Jimmy." Long pause, then, "Okay, what's going on? Are you putting me on? What happened?" I said, "IDK, he just sat there saying, 'Jimmy likes the blue fire truck' and I lost it, okay?" I heard her mutter, "OMG...it's a regular freak show as usual," said, "Gotta go, bye!" and hung up the phone while I had the chance, then put on my "serious" face.
"Oh great. Here comes Mr. Cranky-pants," muttered Jimmy. "That is NOT the way to talk to dear ole Dad, Jimmy," I said in my Dad tone. "It's Bunny, at least that's what the fellas call me," wisecracked Jimmy unwisely. I fought to keep from laughing and cramped my face into *really* serious Dad face. "Okay Bunny. If you ever back-talk me like that again, I swear on your mother's left kidney that you won't be able to ride your unicycle with a hope of not hurting for at least a week!"
"Drat. I forgot to pick up the unicycle from the shop," deadpanned Jimmy. "That's it, Bunny boy. Go to your room *now* and just you wait until your mother gets home!!" Jimmy hung his head but clenched both fists by his side as he started to stomp away. "Jimmy likes the blue fire truck and Dad's a mean..."
"I HEARD THAT, young man. Don't think your mother won't hear about it too, as soon as she gets home!" I said as he finally, blessedly quietly, slunk away. I cringed at my words. How did it always turn into this nowadays? I just wanted to bond with my teenage son, and laugh about the blue fire truck. It wasn't like Jimmy didn't know we wouldn't lay a hand to him - he'd get privileges taken away or grounded as usual, once Mom got home. But it seemed whatever I said or did these days was just flat out wrong. How did it come to this? Just when did I become the bad guy, I wondered.
Well Joyce got home a few minutes later. As usual, she fixed it all as only mommy sense knows how, *and* she got to hear about not just Bunny but the blue fire truck. She's still ROTFL too hard to tell me, so I guess the world may never know.

Lady Gloria Faducci had ALWAYS been a beautiful woman! ......
A striking little girl, an adorable adolescent.................she had grown up being admired by all, and when her great beauty was beginning to fade, she had taken the next logical step!
She opened "Raw Talent", an agency that catered to small time talent including bookings for strip joints.
Having been a professional stripper herself for the better part of her adult life, she knew how to judge......."raw" talent, henceforth, the name for her agency!
This day she had gotten nothing but losers and wanna-be's, ALL DAY LONG, and she was frazzled! The last applicant, Wanda Lust, had been one of the UGLIEST women she had ever seen!
Gloria suffered through the woman's audition, which was an indecent display of blowing smoke rings from a certain unmentionable area!!
"OMG......it's a regular freak show around here" Gloria screamed, pouring herself a double bourbon. As soon as the woman left, she sprayed some air feshener about the office to clear the air!!
Her assistant Jimmy, who was secretly in love with her, tried to make a hasty exit but It didn't work! She cornered him!
"If you EVER subject me to something like THAT again, I swear on your mother's left kidney that I will SKEWER you with a SALAD FORK!!!
IDK,he was something of a strange fellow, but he just sat there saying,
"Jimmy likes the blue fire truck."
He often played "dumb" when she got irritated to escape her wrath!!
Gloria smacked him with her fly swatter!
"See that no more rejects from Hell get in here to audition...AW'RIGHT???!!"
He nodded dumbly, but seeing that she was getting into an alcoholic rage........ he was eager to escape before she became totally BLASTED!!
"Drat. I forgot to pick up the unicycle" he announced suddenly and ran out of the office......
Gloria shook her head.
"That LSD in the 70's SURE took it's toll!!!"
Her thoughts were interupted by the buzzer sounding.
"Oh great. Here comes Mr. Cranky-pants" she said to her secretary. She had ordered from "Juan Hung Low", the new Cuban /Chinese restaurant, and she and the delivery boy's personality seemed to clash!! Surprisingly,today, he turned out to be pleasant!
Folowing the tasty meal of Arroz Con Frijoles, Cantonese style, she was in a MUCH better mood!!
She greeted the next applicant with her trademark smile and greeting!
"Welcome to Raw Talent, what's your name?"
The drop-dead gorgeous blond looked at the formiddable Lady Faducci with awe!!
"It's Bunny,... at least that's what the fellas call me"
She smiled shyly. Lady Gloria Faducci was flabbergasted!! The little gal was gorgeous!!! She would make THEM a fortune!!!
She gently interviewed the luscious Bunny, all the while, dollar signs flashing in her brain!! She arranged an appointment for an audition for the following afternoon..
Bunny gladly agreed.........happily skipping out and immediately calling her boyfriend on her cell phone!
"Yea!!! She liked me!! Her name is Lady Gloria Faducci. I still don't know if she's British or not...BUT she's a BLOODY old hag..that's for sure!!"
It seems the two "LADIES" had sized each other up PRETTY well!!

Sheriff :Apparently her boss Mr. Jackson was pretending to be a woman. Bodyguard: Ah yes, I'm her bodyguard; She's my best friend. Her uncle's a Transvestite, but that's irrelevant. Sheriff :Does her uncle happen to be Dr. Frank 'n' Furter by any chance? Bodyguard: Why yes! her uncle just happens to be that Sweet Transvestite from Transsexual Translyvania! Sheriff:Then why would she be worried about Mr.Jackson then? Bodyguard: He has Lupus, remember? Sheriff :Oh yes, but..... ( Interruption as the Lt. enters ) Lt: "Fried Raspberry Tarts and a 5th of Tequila!" Sheriff & Bodyguard in unison: Thanks Jimmy! Lt: It's alright Boys! ( Lt. Exits ) Sheriff: So anyway... He told the D.A not to get his/her panties in a bunch. Bodyguard: Who? Sheriff: Judge Reinhold. Bodyguard: Oh yes, that's right. Sheriff: Because Miss Furter was all, "He/She's suing my friend?! I don't think so! I'll pulverize him/her! Bodyguard: Who was Mr. Jackson suing? Sheriff: Miss Furter's friend Janine LeRoq for shooting Mr. Jackson's friend Bobby The Gimp. Bodyguard: Why did she shoot him for? Sheriff: Scaring her monkey. At the crime scene their was blood spatter on the ceiling, a piece of brain, and a hemorrhoid. Bodyguard: I never knew hemorrhoids flew that far. Sheriff: Me ethier, I heard this from down in Forensics. Anyway, Judge Reinhold told Janine LeRoq that, "We've decided to skip the Miranda Rights and just send you to the slammer for life without parole and don't be surprised that the public is baying for blood and want to see the stuffing knocked out of you, okay?" Bodyguard: Old Reinhold has such a way with words doesn't he? Sheriff: Yes, yes he does son. ( Bodyguard thinking outloud ) **"Wasn't it Shakespeare who said, I wanna do you on the stove stop?"** Sheriff: No that wasn't Shakespeare sorry. Bodyguard: Who said it then? Sheriff: I dunno son but Erm, that's NOT my gun. That's my rutabaga, HAHA! Funny joke. The End. Edit: Lol yeah my head is filled with funny thoughts and I grew up on alot of British comedy programmes so yeah that's what inspired me.

Present Day Virginia
"The Law Office of Winkin', Blinkin', Coughin' and Spud "
Beans, Silva and Sunshine returned from their camping trip all in one piece.....Well, Sunshine got a little banged up but then her definition of adventure was about as moronic as much of her behavior.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmA_itNuy8QulI5pdlEUZLfsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071009135759AAmIj7X
Beans asked Sunshine to stay a bit longer before returning to Dodge City.
Beans:"Listen....I know you miss the Marshal and all, but we haven't spent any time together since you decided to go out West."
Silva:" Come on, Sunny......Just spend one more day with us. Come to work with us tomorrow."
She and Beans started laughing.
Beans:" (5) Lady Gloria Faducci. I still don't know if she's British, is our boss. She is even more crazy than YOU!!"
Sunshine put her crutches against the coffee table and gingerly positioned her foot on the pillow...."Okay. Okay. ONE more day and then I'm on that train back to Matt. Hey !! Did I tell you guys about the time Matt and I were fooling around in the church balcony? RIGHT in the middle of the first verse of 'Amazing Grace' I decided to try something new....DAMN!! It was a riot.....You see....."
Silva interrupted her....."(6) If you ever tell us that story again, I swear on your mother's left kidney that I'll have to kill you with a kick to the head !! Do you have ANY idea how long it's been since Beans and I have gotten "any?!"
Beans:"Hey!! Speak for yourself you Hoboken Hag !!"
The next morning, Sunshine hobbled into the Law Office of
Winkin', Blinkin', Coughin' and Spud.
The receptionist, Miss Gloria DeHaverchuck, was on the phone......."(4) IDK, he just sat there saying, 'Jimmy likes the blue fire truck.' " She looked up briefly as the three friends walked past her desk.
"(3) Oh great. Here comes Mr. Cranky-pants.....Good morning Tom," mumbled Beans as she walked past Tom Spud, the least normal of the quartet of attorneys.
"(2) It's Bunny, at least that's what the fellas call me, " replied Tom as he wiggled his nose and munched on a large carrot.
Before Sunshine could say, " Hee Haw," Lady Faducci came around the corner......"Morning mates......Aup......Where's me bloody coffee, ay?! Oh......(7) Bleedin' hell !! I forgot to pick up the unicycle. Silva? Please fetch it for me during your lunch break. " Silva nodded her head. "That's jolly good of you. Okay, then....Cherrio."
Sunshine looked at Beans with puzzlement ...."And you STILL don't know if she's British?! She did everything but whistle 'God Save The Queen' !!"
Silva:"Well.....How do you like the place so far, Sunshine?"
"(1) OMG......it's a regular freak show," cackled Sunshine as she checked her cell phone for messages from Matt.
