Stimulating
| Sometimes an idea for a story, poem, or blog entry arrives from an unsuspected source. That's the case today after the delivery of a water pump. The pump is a rechargeable unit designed to fit on top of a three or five gallon water bottle. We use them for camping, and it's always a hassle to pick them up and pour them, so I decided to invest in this portable pump. After the package arrived I opened it and inspected the contents, plugged the pump into a USB charger, and looked at the instructions. The very first line was a warning which prompted me to write this entry: Please do not use this product to pump alcohol and other stimulating liquids such as oil. An attorney, a cowboy, and a health-nut walk into a bar. The bartender asks, "What'll it be for y'all today?" The attorney answers, "Scotch, on the rocks, sir." The cowboy replies, "Bourbon, neat pardner." The health-nut, showing off that he only drinks healthy beverages answers, "A glass of cod-liver oil, and could you please garnish it with a stalk of celery." Sorry to the health-nuts, I mean no offense. But, I had never thought of oil of any kind as a stimulating liquid unless you consider how it would stimulate one's digestive track! Rest assured, we will only use the pump for fresh, clean water... |

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
