30 Days of Writing Minus 2 - Whatever, Dude

Whatever, dude


Dear Abby, Dear Abby,

I’m at the border

The patrol man sees my papers in order

He chats me up and I don’t want to be rude

But quickly drive off saying "whatever, dude"

Signed, In the States


Now go visit Nicky and Mike and see who else created something for you to read...

    I have a border story - we were heading back into the states and the border patrol detained us for about 2 hours. They went through the camper and took our eggs. We insisted they were American eggs, they were even in a Costco egg container, but no, the eggs had to stay in Mexico.

    Oh I would never dare say "whatever, dude" at the American border. They'd send me back to Finland faster than I could say "whatever, dude."

      Throw in some umlauts, and I suspect you'll be fine.

    I have a border story, too. And I'll be sharing it later in this challenge. Lucky you.

    You are a brave, brave woman. Border patrol dudes do not usually like being brushed off! :-)

    I am absolutely loving these... so clever, and you nail it every single time. Not a single bad one in the bunch!

    You're so flippant to the border patrol. You're just a blogger without a cause.

    Ha! You're lucky they didn't pull you over to the "garage"! Reminds me when I went to visit Dufus and the lovely Mrs. D and had the ax under my car seat.... good thing my dog was charming.
