Dwayne was well aware, as he took his seven heart medication pills every morning, that all he need do was to pop a couple more pills in his mouth and his wife could live happily ever after on their life’s savings.
“You know,” said Dwayne to Avril his wife, “all I need do is pop a couple of extra pills into my mouth and I’d be dead meat. Life is so fragile.”
“Which pills in particular?” asked Avril.
“These ones and these ones,” said Dwayne gesturing to a couple of little plastic jars of pills.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, Avril looked a picture of grief at his funeral. Currently she’s in Honolulu with her new boyfriend.

Dwayne would have been content that she moved on with her life. Good on her. Very happy ending.

It’s a children’s book about giving a mouse a cookie but not being able to stop there.

She was probably better off with Dwayne. He loved her enough to consider her feelings and share his thoughts with her. Sounds like this other clown was just using her to get to Hawaii.

I’d like to go to Hawaii – but first I must learn to surf.

You’re so bicultural Max. Aloha to you. An inspiration. In fact, with your deciphering the Beatles British accent I’m (almost) in awe! Your Beatles Week is a brilliant idea! I’m enjoying it very much.

Another time perhaps! I just might have enjoyed that! My favourite B’s song hasn’t appeared in the week yet and it’s a bit obscure!!
