He was sitting on his porch, drunk, ranting. It was three in the afternoon, four empty bottles sat beside him, the fifth in his hand, three sips down. His speech was slurring, his eyes were shifting, it was time to impart some wisdom to the sidewalk, scare the children on their way home from school. […]

It was a hilarious story. Absolutely enjoyed it. All his mannerisms triggers memories of so many of the older men from my youth who would sit at their gates with a half finished bottle watching us okay ball, and sharing their pearls of wisdom great stuff!!
I can imagine that, Nigel. The pearls of wisdom get better and better as the bottle finishes off. Lol. Some can be really profound. Thanks so much for the appreciation. 🙂
Hahahahaha! Excellent, Terveen <3

Thanks so much, David! It’s nice of him to even remember her. Hic! Haha. 🙂
Hooked right from the beginning by that amazing title! I really enjoyed this
Thanks so much! Glad the title justified itself. Lol. 🙂
Hmmm…Never date any woman who isn’t your wife. It’s safer. ☺️
Lol. I like that advice, Stephen. But who’ll explain it to this guy? 🙂
Wow, the title itself has been pretty intriguing. Things, like always were quite quick and even before one could empathize with the husband, swoosh…its all gone!!! Great writing, dark humor and awesome punchlines.. make me wanna copy your style!!
Thanks so much, Deepak. That’s a HUGE compliment. Maybe drunk writing is my thing. Not me drunk, I mean the character. Lol. Take care. 🙂
Totally love this one, Terveen. The line David quoted above is indeed hilarious, and one of many gems in this piece. I kept thinking this is a perfect snapshot of contemporary America, whose off-kilter porch is littered with plenty of empties. Seriously, you have a gift, my friend. Thanks for exposing the human condition so eloquently and so humorously. 🙂
Thanks so much, Mike! Life and its many, many shades. Laugh, cry, or sulk, every day passes by and offers another opportunity to live a little more. Let’s hope that drunken wisdoms aren’t the only wisdoms left in this world. Love your awesome comment and cheers to many more. 🙂
a terrific tale; you excelled yourself on this one; you got the pacing right, the tension, the diction, the detail; what a whopper of an ending 🙂
Thanks so much, John! When the tongue’s got a mind of its own, the legs will suffer. Lol. Appreciate it! 🙂
I don’t know how a book hasn’t been written about the wisdom of drunken men, Terveen. (And the replies of scorned wives.) Another of your classic tales which keep you gripped to the unexpected ending.
Thanks so much, Davy. I’d like to read a book like that. Would be quite the entertainer. Haha. The Intoxicated Intellect perhaps. 🙂
hahaha… That’s hilarious😂
Thanks so much, Tamanjeet. Appreciate it. 🙂
Great story line and well delivered with your great humor Terveen! 👏
Many, many thanks, Cindy! Means a lot. 🙂
You’re most welcome Terveen!💕
Wow, did the wife killed both? Haha, that is very bloody. You always have your ways with your ending, never as what I would expect.
She may not have killed them. But definitely used that bat as she pleased. Lol. Thanks a lot, Haoyan. 🙂
