When I misplaced my thesaurus I was lost for words. I walked past a junk shop with piles of old books in the window so I popped in hoping I might find one.
“Have you a thesaurus?”
“A tortoise? No dear, there’s a pet shop next door”.
“No, a book, a thes…au…rus!”
“Sorry dear, I’m a little deaf. Let’s see”.
She moved things, dropped things, disappeared behind things then reappeared clutching a tatty tome.
“There dear, a book on dinosaurs, there’s bound to be something in there about tyrannosauruses”.
Actually, it was quite an interesting book, so I bought it!

Good one Keith
Thanks, Sadje!
You’re welcome 😇
Cute
Thank you!
Very clever!
Thanks so much, Tessa!
Oh how fun, Keith. This sounds like a great intro to a movie!!
Hollywood here I come!
Awesome. 👍
Hilarious
Thanks, Beth!
Love it!
I’m pleased, thanks, Mimi!
Love it! That’s a true book worm.
Indeed! Thanks so much.
I smiled and then smiled again.
…and I smiled at your comment, thank you!
Sometimes what you don’t expect proves to be what you wanted.
That happens more often than not!
Haha! Love this. So true, how talking to someone with hearing difficulty can make a conversation hilariously confusing. It happens to me at work often in aged care. Nice one, Keith 🙂
I’m pleased, thanks so much. I bet it does!
You are welcome, as always a good chuckle!
Dear Keith,
You had me at “a loss for words,” you clever fellow! Delightful as always.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I wondered if anyone would notice that – but I knew I could rely on you! Thanks, Rochelle.
I enjoyed reading this, well I am still laughing. But, seriously are we heading back to the age of the dinosaurs, if not physically then mentally?
Thanks, James. With the way things are in the world, a reboot sounds like a good idea!
‘Lost for words’ – wonderful!
A pun I couldn’t resist! Thanks, Liz.
Good to be flexible and dinosaur books who can turn down?! Surprised she didn’t point you to the nearest Toy-R-Us as well 🙂

Good point, there’s one two doors down!
Keith, you always get me laughing with your stories (unless you are writing in another genre, of course!)
That’s what I hope to achieve (nine times out of ten!)
When you least expect it.
That’s often when the best things happen!
Thanks, Keith. It’s been a rough week, and I needed a laugh tonight!
I’m delighted to have been of service Linda, I hope things are on the up again.
Oh, this made me laugh. Thank you VERY much.
That’s so kind of you Alicia.
Close enough. It’ll do. 😀
Absolutely, thanks Tannille!
As always your humour is ‘The source’ of much jocularity 🙂
he didn’t find what he was searching, but it went well in the end. it’s like traveling, when you get lost, you’d likely discover something new. 🙂
Ha Ha , love the humour.
Well written and well (voice) acted, Keith. The world of retail with hearing loss is confusing, but it as a customer or owner.
Thesauraus is a dinosaur! Enjoyed it very much, thanks
Fabulous! Funny as always! 🤣
You go in looking for one thing and come out with another! Definitely been there! Well done.
That’s life! Cheers, Heather.
I had a feeling she thought the request was for a book on dinosaurs … good piece.
Me too!
