Jonathan Harper. "The Tale of Prince Piecemeal, the Prince Who Got Wood

As the prince stared into the tree's beautiful pine needle coat, luscious bark and seductive pine cones - the prince's heart flew like it never had before ... and he realized he was in love.

 

Charlotte Jones. "Making a Statement"

"I can see how you might think it was a bit lavish, but really, when you are marrying into money the way I am, the guests would have expected nothing less. The last wedding I went to topped $200,000. Chump change, as far as I’m concerned."

 

Anna Psitos. "The Original Ending to Pride and Prejudice, or, The Sopping Bride"

Lydia readjusted her sister’s bosom. “You really need to wear your corset tighter, it’s the only way to really get these things to stay perky.”

 

Genevieve Valentine. "Delivering Quality Right to Your Door"

Officer Shuck cleared his throat. “Angela, you’ve committed an infraction.”

“Oh, God. What?”

“A love infraction!”

 

Christopher Woods. "Letters to Wolfhaus"

Because of your hideously inadequate pillows, our necks have suffered terribly since our stay. The pain is unbearable, I tell you. In addition to calling our regular lawsuit lawyer, we have also contacted a Boston firm specializing in tourist-related injuries, maimings and deaths.

 

 

 

NONFICTION

 

Christine Hohlbaum. "Venus Met Mars...and Laughed"

My friend’s husband flings his clothes down wherever he happens to be standing. She is left to decide whether they are clean, half-clean, dirty, or filthy. She usually opts for washing whatever is lying around. She said that if her washing machine were human, someone might think she was having an affair with it.
