‘Have you found a job yet?’ asked Dicky.
‘I am thinking of offering my services to Amazon’ said Micky.
‘Doing what?’
‘Delivering packages’.
‘In that?’
Why not? Okay, it needs a little spit-and-polish, but it’s ideal’, said Micky proudly tapping the mirror which promptly came adrift.
‘It’s taken root!’ laughed Dicky.
‘Just a few weeds’ said Micky giving them a tug.
‘Hey, that’s not any ole’ weed … it’s flippin’ cannabis!’ gushed Dicky.
‘Really?’
‘I think so. Forget Amazon, you’re onto a fortune!’
‘What? I just sprayed it with weed killer’.
‘Amazon it is then. Fetch a hose, I’ll give you a hand’.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Russell Gayer for the photo.

So near and yet so far
Maybe it’s for the best! Cheers, Neil.
“When my ship came in I was over at the airport.” 🙂
Such is life! Cheers Christine.
Helo brother
Oh nooooo!
Unfortunately, yes!
😱
Haha! Wonderful story, I love it!
I’m pleased, cheers Mason.
You’re welcome.
Uh oh. Looks like it’s going to be Amazon after all..
I just hope he’s not delivering my orders in that old banger!
I freaked out years ago thinking cannabis was growing in my backyard and it turned out to be common cinquefoil. OTOH, the neighbor kids were growing it in the park until someone reported them to the cops, who took the large aquarium the kids were using and left a note telling them to pick it up at the police department.
I think I’d freak out too, especially as someone I thought I knew well was till recently locked up for growing it! I wonder if the kids claimed their aquarium!
That took an unexpected turn. Made me laugh out loud. 😄
Me too, I didn’t plan it when I started writing!
I wouldn’t recommend becoming a pot salesman anyway~
Not that kind of pot anyway! Cheers, Larry.
Brilliant!
Thanks, Di!
Maybe better this way, no trouble with the law.
…providing he doesn’t break any rules of the road! Cheers, Mimi.
But that crop! Worth a fortune…
Something about that van has dope written all over it.
That’s what I thought Tannille!
I think Amazon was always his destiny. Fate has a way of fixing things.
I quite agree Sandra, Amazon is!
Honestly… I don’t think Amazon will quite work out either – unless he is extremely good at fixing up old vans 😉
You’re probably right Dale, not too good for their image either!
I think not! 😉
Cute exchange, Keith. Amazon it is!
It’s looking that way!
Poor Dicky & Micky. I guess sometimes ignorance isn’t bliss.
Very true! Cheers, Bernadette.
I love the way this story evolved. Poor Micky. So near and yet so far.
Micky and Dicky – I’m smiling at the rhythm of the names too.
It’s a dodgy business so this could be a blessing in disguise! Their mate Ricky had an idea, but I ran out of words!
xD xD (That should be a laughing emoji! Let’s see if it is. If it isn’t, I’m laughing anyway!
Me too now! xD!
Micky should consider a taxi service or driving work release prisioners to and from work. They can smoke a little weed on the way.
What a great idea, I’ll pass your suggestion on to him!
Thanks for the photo Russell, it’s prompted a great range of stories.
as it’s always the case, amazon wins again. 🙂
Don’t they always? Cheers plaridel.
Bummer, having to work for the evil dark lord instead of selling dope, Good stuff!
Sadly so! Cheers!
That was fun. If it doesn’t work out with Amazon, there’ll be other delivery options.
Lots of possibilities! Thanks so much.
Dear Keith,
If Amazon doesn’t work out there’s always UPS. Love the stoned frogs. Fun dialogue.
Shalom,
Rochelle
That’s an idea, all it needs is a lick of brown paint! I’m going to have a word with those naughty frogs. Thanks, Rochelle.
Bahahaha
Oh dear, plans of fools gold!
Great story, plenty of twists and turns here
Fool’s gold, absolutely! Thanks for your lovely comment, Laurie.
Easy come, easy go 🙂
That’s life! Cheers Ali.
How funny. Why do I think things often turn out that way for Micky?
I’m pretty sure you’re right!
A pot of fool’s gold at the end of that rainbow 🙂
Indeed it is! Cheers, Linda.
This was outstanding. Some pot-luck this 😅😅
Loved it, Keith. Happy weekend.
Pot-luck, I like it! Thanks, Natasha, you have a good one too.
😇😀😀
Hate to burst your bubble, Dude, but that isn’t cannabis. Gigggles… might be fun if it was, thought. “Welcome to the Pot House”…hehe… reminds me of the van my younger brother had… it always had a distinctive smell to it. LOL!
I’ll mention it to Dicky! As for the smell, it is pretty unmistakable! Cheers Bear.
True that. People often mistake the smell of sage for cannabis.
That’s so funny. I got a package from Amazon today LOL! Sounds like something I would do though. A weed is a weed unless it has flowers and even weeds do have flowers sometimes. I don’t know cannabis from a flower anyhow. Good job!
I hope it wasn’t delivered in that old wreck! Thanks for your welcome wise words about weeds Tessa!
Damn that plan has gone to pot. Or in this case not gone to pot. Fun story.
Potty puns, I like them! Cheers Subroto.
Very humourous piece, Keith. I particulalrly liked the wing mirror coming off in a matter of fact fashion.
Imd so pleased you like it, thank you, Michael.
Teehee! Don’t think selling dope was a good idea anyway; the police don’t like it – and your competition like it even less! BTW No way would that mirror have dropped off!
I quite agree Penny, good job it was non-weed weed! As for the mirror, you’re probably right – authoristic license!
Hey, it’s cash crop business. Thanks for making me grin as ever.
It is Anne! Thsnls so much.
LOL! That’ll be one rolling van, for sure, it will! 😉 Fun stuff! 🙂
Great story.
Thanks so much.
You are welcome.
