The Confrontation
Two street-wise punks entered the fast food restaurant looking for trouble. With food loaded on trays, they turned to the seating area. One of the two nudged the other and nodded toward a table for six with an elderly lady alone. SLAM! She jumped when they slammed their trays onto the table. A sneer toward the young men said it all.
“Bobby, do you know who your father is?”
“Nope. You?”
“Me neither.”
Smiling, they were sure they had her goat.
Finally, the elderly lady spoke to the two young men. “Would one of you bastards please pass the napkins?”

Budget Costs
The detective leaned back in the seat, stretched expansively and roared. “Lazy fucking bastards!”
There was a sudden flurry of papers being shuffled, phones being lifted, and desk drawers being opened and closed.
“Aggghhh, not you useless lot,” he growled. “Not this time anyway.”
“Who’s offended the mighty Sergeant Prick, this time?” an attractive female police officer drawled.
“That’s Pryck … like dyke.” She’d rebuffed his many advances.
She merely generated a smug smile...pausing it for greater effect.
“Hrrmph, thought I’d a break on the Couples Killer...but the council couldn’t be bothered cleaning the CCTV lenses.”
