Lady Octopad ordered Dish of the Day. The head waiter presented her with Fisherman’s Testicles and a side dish of Captain’s crunchy fingers.


Lisa stuck pins in her doll’s eyes while her teacher wept blood over Lisa’s essay on Homer’s Odysseus.

I laughed at the first one, Jennifer. Has the second to do with the blinding of the Cyclops?

But very good I enjoyed them.

Best

Very neat work Jennifer! I love them both. The first is quite funny but in a horror way - I'd try sending these each on the appropriate dates Well done that woman!

Think I may be Prospero's opposite as I laughed at the second and had questions about the first... Although, writing this, I think I have just "got" the first one too. Might have understood it more quickly if I had ever been to a posh restaurant serving fish fingers.

Yes, I laughed at the first too. Great stuff.

The second works best if the essay theme somehow links to what Lisa is doing. Does Homer exactly? I thought maybe Newton's Third Law? 'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'
Summat like that.

Loved both Jennifer. Clever ideas.

Thanks to you all for your kind comments. At least I haven't made myself look a plonker with the effort, and it was an effort.

I read somewhere, yonks ago, that Homer was blind but maybe that's a myth.

The 1st one is an octupus's revenge on fishermen. Good on her I say.

The 2nd one just popped into my head and really has no meaning apart from an act of revenge.
