I should have posted a story yesterday but it was my birthday and Rosey’s too so I was otherwise engaged! Better late than never.
My phone rang. It was my friend Rosey, again!
‘I’ve got a ghost’ she panted.
‘You don’t need another pet’ I said, ‘you’ve already got two cats!’
‘It’s not funny,’ she whimpered.
‘Is it a friendly ghost?’ I asked.
‘No. It yanked the wire from its hole in my computer, and it stopped working’.
‘Plug it back in then’ I said.
‘You’re missing the point, I’ve… got… a… ghost!’
‘What’s it look like?’ I asked.
‘It’s invisible, duh’ she huffed. `Oh, hang on, the wire’s hooked around my chair leg, it may have pulled out when I did a bum-wiggle’.
‘So there’s no ghost?’
‘Probably not, bye’
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and Dale Rogerson for the picture.
Prod the frog to join in the fun!
Poor Rosey! No sympathy from you.
And a belated Happy Birthday. Wishing you and Rosey many more years of funny tales together.

I think Rosey is after your attention, best go round and sort out her wiring. Fun read.

When I’ve sorted out her wiring she’ll find something else for me to do, so no, I’m staying clear! Thanks, James.

I particularly like how the ghost wound the cable round the chair leg to confuse the issue.

So many possibilities. May be there was a ghost that wanted to undivided attention and yanked the computer wire out. May be the ghost was malicious and wanted to electrocute your friend. Finally, your friend has to stop bum wiggling. It can do uncalled for damage, who knows!
