One-Liner Wednesday – Pro tip

49 Comments

I had to get a COVID test today (aka a brain scrape), and it wasn’t that bad. The difference? The guy who administered it told me it would take ten seconds and he counted out loud to ten. It’s nice to know for sure there’s an end in sight … as nice as it can possibly be when you’re having a swab (aka a searing-hot poker) shoved into your nasal passages (aka a place no one should ever be allowed to explore).

Pro tip: ask the tester to count down the seconds.


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 lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!

5. Have fun!

  15. Excellent tip! It could work for a lot of things. Just the counting alone would be a distraction, even more so if one counted in a foreign language.
