Flash Fiction 55. 20th.May 2011

I hope My Beloved Ada doesn't start on at me for trying my hand at Mr.G-Man's fantastic Flash Friday short fiction, particularly as my effort mentions . . . well, read on.

Eyeful

A man was arrested in a London Underground station for “breach of the peace” by scrambling up the “Down” escalator. CCTV showed him riding the “Down” escalator earlier in the normal manner.
When asked why he chose this inconvenient way of going "Up"  he replied “The ‘Down’ escalator is on the side with the brassiere adverts.”

    Cad, your news flash 55,
    although it shows you are alive,
    is way behind these modern times!
    No need to read between the lines.
    The garment you have made a star,
    nowadays is called a BRA!

    How silly of me! Anonymous is quite right,! A "brassiere" is something a workman warms his hands on.

    Hehehe! Ada will have an apoplectic fit if she happens to peek at this post. I bet Cad never gets to warm his hands on anything of hers...

    Jinksy . . check out the back-story. If I remember, a few instalments ago things got quite heated.

    It's really time that Cad came clean! The scrambling man recently seen
    leering with those lustful eyes at lacy bras and ladies thighs WAS CADDOC TRELLIS! The silly man once again is in the can! He didn't see the sign "Beware! Don't ride UP on the DOWN stair." I'll see if I can bail him out(*). Beloved Ada won't half shout when I drag him home to Wales. Watch out for more of these Tall Tales.

    (*) AGAIN! See THIS POST

    I love him for his honesty....And I was getting confused as to why Trellissimo would attempt such a thing....

    Must have been a Victoria's Secret ad. I think it's been scientifically proven that no man can resist those...

    PattiKen . . you should not be encouraging impressionable and hot blooded males to go looking at websites like "Victoria's Secret" Goodness knows I have enough trouble with Caddoc without bloggers filling his head with stuff like that. I've spent forty years training him to "sit", "lie down" and "roll over". Then along comes Victoria or some such hussy wearing next-to-nothing on a public escalator - and he imagines these 3 simple phrases have a WHOLE NEW MEANING!
