Well, you know what they say, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs and a good beginning makes for a good ending so it's in for a penny in for a pound.... but enough of these Clichés have some fun and let's see what this week conjures up.

Wow, that was quite the marathon session, RIgirl. Well done in catching up. I've enjoyed these one-to-one sessions between them both. I like the way you've taken the relationship to a new dimension, and hopefully they'll both understand each other just a little better from now on.

KT: I'm with the others. Woah. That was ... cold. RIgirl: Yeah, the guys are going to wonder what the hell happened when she doesn't put up with their crap anymore.

RI girl: Seems like a cliche, but it's true that in most jobs, especially those traditionally thought of as "masculine", you need a woman to exercise some civilising influence, like Jun is doing

Just a little snippet..... ========== "Stop beating around the bush." Security Chief Anderson said to the image of G-Force flickering on the monitor, "I want your progress report without all the hemming and hawing!" "We've talked to practically every Tom, Dick, and Harry under the sun, Chief!" Mark replied. "We can't make heads or tails of it." Jason added. "It's like talking to a brick wall!" Tiny proclaimed. "Talking," Keyop added, "in circles." "We've talked ourselves blue in the face." Princess added. "And your efforts have been neither here nor there." It was more of a statement than a question from the chief. There was a pause. Chief Anderson closed his eyes and thought for a moment or two. "Well, this isn't a mission fraught with danger....return to base. Get some rest so you can resume tomorrow, fresh as a daisy. Anderson out." Once the monitor was completely black, Jason said, "Well, I guess it's a foregone conclusion." "And what's that?" Mark asked. "Even if you play your cards right, Ambassador Tacaño isn't going to pay the money he owes from the last poker game!"

Hehe so painful

I agree, that hurt!

EW: I liked it! But if Anderson was playing cards, he should have remembered that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush ... *snicker* Daniella: You're right, there are jobs where woman bring a bit of civilized to certain jobs, but they have to be careful or else they will always find themselves being pushed to the side because of that civility -- the men start to think that just because one is civil, one cannot also be down and dirty when need be. Jun just needs to remind them every once in a while that she can hold her own quite nicely, thank you very much. KT: I'm glad you enjoyed it! ChrisW made me laugh by assigning "points" at the end of each one. I hadn't thought of it like a tennis match when I was writing it, but that's what it seemed like in the end!
