So much fun. I'm going to use this line on my husband: “Listen. If I have to pay attention every time you start one of your ramblings, I’ll need a second [husband] just to wake me up when you reach the point.”

Now that’s a social experiment I’d love to hear play out. Thanks for reading, Lynn!

"Consider me a pork peddler."

"I always have."

LOL. Great lines in this one. Old Dale really can't see the ale for the bladder. Can he? Haha. I think the squire deserves better. Awesome stuff as always, Ricky.

What a way to put it: can’t see the ale for the bladder. Haha. Squire is either loyal to a fault, or times were just too tough back then to walk away from a paying gig. Probably a little both.

Thanks for reading and highlighting pork peddler! Great to hear you enjoyed it.

I bet they could use the bag of silver to buy information about this Robin Hood fella...😏

Another great entry!

Knowing these two, not sure they’d figure that out.

Thanks for reading!!

I guess pigs barked back in those days, eh? Or did they get shingles?

Hahaha. I’m not well researched, so guess it could be a little of both. Thanks for reading, Dave!

Clever plan!

Just didn’t accomplish their goal this time.

But seems like a plan that could work if attempted again!

Though their goal is overall a difficult one, seeing as Robin Hood’s a pretty smart fellow.

Excellent storytelling! 💯
