This phone conversation between myself and my best friend, John, is a week old, but I saved it:
Me: I stabbed myself in the wrist today. With a steak knife.
John: Oh no! Are you okay?
Me: Yeah. I missed the vein by a couple of millimetres.
John: How did you do it?
Me: I was opening a box of my novels with a steak knife. It slipped and I almost killed myself.
John: You know, they’ll sell for a lot more if you’re dead.

If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our very cool badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

I discovered you, and this prompt, via Frank H’s blog–and boy am I glad! You, and your kids sound so delightful–I’m smiling, on the verge of laughing out loud…mostly re the hand pressed to head to try to stop excessive thought-production Anyhoo, I’m joining the prompt today–and following you, lest I miss something great. God bless you! 🙂

I was literally JUST reprimanded for using a steak knife to open a box. I really loved this conversation you had with your friend!!!

Oh no. I might do something like that with the steak knife, (by accident). Opening a stack of your books is pretty fun. 🙂

That is funny! My dad loves John Wayne, so much he gave my brother his middle name, Wayne. I wonder if he’d pay that much. 🙂
