“Do I need to point out the obvious, George?”

“I’d rather you didn’t, Martha, but seeing as how I’m a captive audience, I have no choice, now do I?”

“None. Clearly you’ve managed to get us lost …. again.”

“Nonsense! I know exactly where we are.”

“Of course you do. It’s the same road we’ve been on for the last hour.”

“I’m rather fond of this road, Martha. I believe the beauty of the straight line is lost on most people.”

“You are a blathering idiot, George. The only thing lost is us. Just admit you made a wrong turn 100 miles back.”

“Never! The only wrong turn I ever made, Martha, was the one down the aisle on our wedding day.”

“You are a beast and I loathe you! Turn the car around, George.”

“I will do nothing of the kind. I am the master of my steed and I say “Onward!”

“What you are is a master asshole, George, with about as much sense as that cactus.”

“And you, Martha, are a bellowing cow in the throes of labor.”

“You do realize we’re going to die out here, don’t you, George? The vultures are already circling overhead.”

“Oh, don’t be so melodramatic, Martha.”

“Look! There seems to be some sort of rest area up ahead. Stop and ask for directions, George.”

“Over my dead body, Martha! Over my dead body!”

    1. Yes! You are most certainly supposed to be laughing! I’m thrilled to know you enjoyed this story, Michele. 🤩

      George and Martha are a deliciously dysfunctional duo based on the characters from Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. This is my second go-round with these two; if you’re interested in the first one, I provided a link in the NB¶ above. They are an endless source of entertainment for me. There’s a fine line between comedy and tragedy; G&M barely balance on the edges. It’s a good thing they have me as their safety net! 😁

      Thanks for a great comment.
