Mike’s open night

Mike peered out from the side of the stage, sweat forming on his brow. There were more people than he expected, and he was sure he recognised three or four familiar faces.

What was it they say? Think of your audience naked?

Mike scanned the expectant crowd and removed their garments one by one.

No more floral shirt for you, Mr. Levi. Say goodbye to your trousers, Aaron Aaronson. You donโ€™t need that dress, Mrs Rosenthal!

The congregation gasped as Mike walked on stage. Though his clothing was loose, his proud erection approached the lectern several seconds before he did.

    Mike’s ploy worked a little too well

  2. Anita

    It was literally “open” to imagination and interpretation

  3. Keith’s Ramblings

    Oh dear, he made a bit of a dick of himself!

  4. James Pyles

    Must have been some alluring young women “naked” in the audience. Yikes.

  5. Lisa or Li

    Oh my gosh, that made me chuckle.

    Self-help mechanisms are sometimes not suitable for everyone. Still, he’s going to get noticed that’s for sure.

    Oh my, Peter! I’m so glad I’d set my coffee down or I’m sure that last line would’ve had me spewing all over my keyboard. Well done.

    Shalom,

    Oh my! Mike has a vivid imagination. Thanks for the laugh. I like how you named everyone formally, gave it more of a punch.

    Oh, no! How embarrassing. It worked a little to well. Grinning!

    ohh.. well done! Yes, his plan to beat the stagefright gave the audience a start instead…

    Hysterical! But I think Keith wins the comments!

    Hilarious! Being a woman, it’s easier keeping my reactions zippered up!
