Bad Habits die hard

‘Just dip the corners’

‘Do you want to do it?… Didn’t think so’.

’It’ll take too long to dry if its too wet that’s all I’m sayin’

‘What time we got?’

‘Fifteen’

‘Plenty’

’That’s what you said the last time with the Shower Pisser’

‘That was different, I forgot the naked variable, here iron this’

‘What about the Bus Seat Snotter, nearly missed him’

‘And that was my fault how?’

‘Just sayin that’s all’

‘Yeah well enough of your ’just sayin’, unless you want to talk about the Snort Spitter?

‘Shaddup, I thought we agreed never to talk about him again’

‘Yeah well Quid Pro Quo’

’Don’t start that Latin shite . Here it’s done, now lets roll’

’And what time we got left?

‘Shaddup’

‘Look, while we’re waiting, are you sure you want to get this guy?’

‘Whatya mean?’

‘I mean he’s not the worst, he’s a finger licker, that’s it like’

’He’s a free loader finger licker, there’s a difference’

‘Yeah well if we do him this time, I’m definitely doin the Red light cyclist next’

‘Ok Ok now shaddup, here he comes. Is it folded right?’

‘Perfect, the headline is just making me cry with pride’

‘Pride and fall, now get over there and put it on top of the others, the right pile, it’s the Daily Times remember’

‘yeah yeah cool your jets……OK done’

‘Here goes’

‘OK he’s taken it up. Jesus see what you mean, licking the shit outta that thumb’

‘Slobbers all over every page, reads the whole lot and then leaves it back on the shelf, dirty bastard’

‘Ah, so that’s why you only put the arsenic on the corners, poor bastard is licking himself to death, nice one’

‘Take a picture of him with the newspaper in his hand, make sure you can read the headline’

‘why?’

‘Cos its perfection. I mean c’mon, a headline that’s about us, it reads BAD HABIT KILLERS murder again, and we’re using it to murder… again’

’Yeah, see your point. Hey, whatya think about doin one of those fuckers that park in the wheelchair spots next?

    i licked my finger then my thumb
    that were roasted brown
    with crumbs from bum
    inspiring me with the shite you write
    so common the Dubs keep up the fight
    to make writing real keep things rude
    and use your finger for finger food.

  • ah jaysis Tim it’s like having my very own Brendan Kenneally commenting on my work :) Great post, loved it

  • yeah it was a different way of showing the story alright, kind of hard to get the info out but yet keep it natural though! Thanks Brian

    Excellent and there are so many other’s that need to be ‘taken for a ride’. I could easily give you a list of one hundred, starting with the shopping trolley ankle bashers hahahahah. This was a hoot.

  • pooh, I reckon you need to express this in true Pooh style with one of your stories, how about the two teenage boys you wrote about a while back, I loved those fella’s
