FF – Sergeant Jimminy’s Final Mission
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by C.E. Ayr. Well, I say story… just a bit of fun!
“That’s really pink. A real girlie boat! Does it have lace curtains?”
“You sexist pig! I’m calling the Political Correctness Police.”
Wee-wah-wee-wah screech
“Allo allo allo. I’m Sergeant Jimminy. What’s goin’ on ‘ere then?”
“He called my boat ‘girlie’ because it’s pink.”
“Whaaaaat? You scum! Scum! Get ‘im, lads.”
Aaargh! Thump! Whap!
“In the water with ‘im, lads!”
Splash! Gurgle! Drown!
“That’s that, then, love. You can always rely on me, good ol’ Sergeant Jimminy (wink wink). You get your cute little self onto your dinky pink boat and… uh-oh…”
“Sexist scum! Get ‘im, lads!”
Aaargh! Thump! Whap! Gurgle! Drown! etc
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Woohoo!

HAHAHA! I particularly liked the sound effects. Which I read aloud! I would definitely have lace curtains if that was my boat.

Sound effects are an important part of the experience 🙂
Lace curtains would be cool.

Political correctness takes all the colour out of life. The policeman helping the woman is in itself sexist.

“good ol’ Sergeant Jimminy” I am afraid I am very much like the Sergeant… But I recognize your right to wear “frilly things”. Doesn’t mean I won’t chuckle – a lot- when you leave.

I’m sorry, but why would you want a pink boat? It kinda looks like it’s been undercoated and not finished. Slap some dark blue and green on it and you’ll have a boat worth having 😀

Hi Lyn, Sorry to intrude, but if you knew the lady who owns that boat you would not criticise it!
It is a working fishing boat, and has served its time. I am laughing, of course, but this is all true!

No offence at all to the lady. I’m partial to fishing myself – I even caught a three inch Flathead one day 😀 How does she manage to keep it so clean with all the fish guts that must be around?
