A Walk in the Woods

Since goblins have come out and into the world of work they have found many new employment opportunities. A spokesman from McDonalds said “ We like to employ goblins because they have a good sense of humour and they make the burgers look bigger”

A goblin is supposedly an imaginary evil, crabby and michievous creature , described as a grotesquely disfigured gnome-like being ....I know some people like that:) 

Two Wishes

 

A trucker walks into a diner with a full-grown emu behind him, and they sit in a booth.  A waitress comes over and asks them for their orders.

 

The trucker says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke, please,' and turns to the emu, 'What's yours?'

 

‘I'll have the same,' says the emu.

 

A short time later the waitress returns with the order.  'That will be $9.40 please,' and the trucker reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change and pays her.

 

The next day, the trucker and the emu come in again, and he says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke.'  The emu says, 'I'll have the same.'

 

Again the trucker reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.

 

This becomes routine until the two enter again on Friday evening.

'The usual?' asks the waitress.

 

'No, it's Friday night, so I'll have a steak, baked potato and a salad,' says the trucker.  'I’ll have the same,'  says the emu.

 

After they’ve eaten, the waitress brings the check and says, 'That will be $32.65.'

 

Once again the trucker pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.

 

The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer.  ‘Excuse me,’ she says,  ‘Do you mind telling me how you manage to come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?'

 

'Well, love'  says the trucker, 'A few years ago, I was walking in the woods and found an old goblin with his foot caught in a bear trap.  I set him free and he offered me two wishes.  My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.'

 

'That's brilliant!' says the waitress.  'Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!'

 

'That's right.  Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,'  says the trucker.

 

The waitress asks, 'So what's with the bloody emu?'

 

The trucker sighs, pauses, and answers, 'My second wish was for a tall chick with a big ass and long legs, who would always agree with everything I say.'

Some very clever wood carvings and this is a fun tabblo, but my favourite picture is the Emu, I just love the expression on its face!

Only you, Mike, can come up with these tales and comedy.That Emu is priceless.
Moabjeeper said at 12:43 p.m. on Mar 28, 2009:
LOL Mike. Nice going.
Wildthing said at 12:50 p.m. on Mar 28, 2009:
I thought the carvings of the goblin and the snake were too good not to take pics of, even though it was a dull, miserable day. I have no idea why the tabblo turned out like this:) I must take photography more seriously:)

Happy Birthday!
Wildthing said at 5:08 p.m. on Mar 28, 2009:
Thanks, Ira. This is a pretty silly tabblo, but as it's my birthday, I felt like doing something light-hearted.
SnowWhite said at 5:24 p.m. on Mar 28, 2009:
Love the effect in #1. I must say, I am surprised in the definition of a goblin my name didn't get a mention! -- maybe you are being kind to me, as it is your birthday and I did you such a wonderful tabblo. LOL . Question - would the goblins be able to lift a supersized meal??
Tanglewire said at 5:31 p.m. on Mar 28, 2009:
Great Story and pictures Happy Birthday
Wildthing said at 5:33 p.m. on Mar 28, 2009:
Goblins are strong little critters with supernatural powers, Sno'. They would have no trouble lifting a stack of Big Macs'. And as you know the Birthday tab was much appreciated. Time we opened a bottle of Gallo, or two.
Wildthing said at 5:36 p.m. on Mar 28, 2009:

Happy Birthday, Mike! I had mine on the 23rd. Very good shots, and smart writing, as always! have a great week.
Wildthing said at 5:02 p.m. on Mar 29, 2009:
There was no plaque or any mention of who had carved the goblin and the snake, Deb. Perhaps some bored troll whittled them to pass time:) A belated Happy birthday to you too, Fabio.

Great tabloo Mike. I know a few Goblins myself. One of which is my husbands ex-wife. She would make a goblin look good. That was cruel, but true. Great job Mike. Rhonda
Wildthing said at 10:30 a.m. on Mar 31, 2009:
You mean, she's mischievous, evil, or works at McDonalds, Rhonda??? :)
Sirnicolay said at 9:31 p.m. on Apr 5, 2009:

Wildthing said at 5:24 a.m. on Apr 6, 2009:
Thanks, James. I decided a long time ago that everything you choose to do, including photography, should be fun. Serious can be sad.
Chaitiamma said at 9:03 a.m. on Apr 6, 2009:
