“Keef?” he asked. “I’m drivin’ you to the airport”.
I jumped in.
“I’m Widdy,” he said heading off in the wrong direction.
“Unusual name,” said I as he drove the opposite way down a one-way street.
“Short for Widdershins,” he said, attempting an anti-clockwise circuit of a roundabout.”
“Why Widdershins?” I asked as we entered the park via the exit.
“Something to with me being born bum-first,” he said directing me towards the wrong gate.
.
By the way, widdershins means in the wrong or contrary direction, or anticlockwise!
Don’t think i’m “weddy’ to have “Widdy” drive me anywhere!
Wealy wise Wiwi!
Love the graphics Keith. Hilarious take.
I’m pleased! Thanks, Sadje,
You’re welcome 😃
Very clever loved it :0
Thank you so much!
HA! We cannot escape our destiny. 😉
…try as we may! Cheers, Susan.
Well, sometimes getting on the wrong flight may be the best direction … 😉
I’ve wished I had once or twice!
🙂 The son of friends of mine asked his parents for a end-of-college gift – a ticket to the place of THEIR choice, as a surprise to him. He didn’t know where he was going to until he reached the airport. (His mama did, of course, so she made sure he had rain-gear in a bag she handed him at the airport… they sent him to the Scottish Highlands for two weeks. He had a (cool misty rainy) blast.
What a great idea! I’m sure he had a wonderful time. Before my daughter moved to Scotland a few years ago I’d never been there – it’s like a very damp Heaven on Earth!
Ha ha! I like how you mess with the prompt image too. You are clever! 😀
For me, that’s half the fun! Thanks, Sunra
Love your take on widdershins. Makes me wonder: If you take the wrong turn often enough, then surely you’re bound to end up in the right place.
Now that is a very good point, you just take a little longer! Thanks so much for dropping by.
Mr. Widdershins, I presume. I used to have a saying, “You can’t be lost if you don’t care where you’re going.” Might apply here. Another of Keith’s clever and witty creations.
I like that saying! Thanks so much for your kind word Mr. Billershins!
You’re welcome, Keith.
If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.
Very true, Peter!
Happy chuckle here! 😊
