church and state

The angel rolled in to the seventh grade classroom at eleven seventeen, and told a dirty joke.

This made the angel an instant hit with the seventh graders, except for the priggish ones, but did a great deal to diminish Mrs. Richardson's enthusiasm for reducing the barriers between church and state.

this could go on and on or you could just have the first line stand alone - all by itself - and it is wonderful, powerful in it's own perfect way and it moves...

(hmm this could be a good scratch fiction tag, but that's mean you'd have to share and even if you don't i may... um... borrow it... or something

I agree with mysfit. You haven't posted a topic in such a long time, we may need to classify that first line as one.

hey, you can pick up my shiny object any old time and run off and disassemble it. feel free.

that said, if you want a topic, I have one for you... see the blog proper.

(I try to exercise some restraint in posting them, because I don't want tag-fatigue to set in (and it's easier to post a tag than to write myself, you know, so there's always a temptation). if you ever get thirsty, just agitate, as you did here... the squeaky wheel gets greased on thissyer blog.)
