MY BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

Aloma's CANDLE heats up Norine's THERMOMETER. Janet is sitting on a CHAIR in the shower with a CLOTHES PIN holding the shower curtain closed. The doorbell rings and there goes the phone. Janet slipped on the BAR OF SOAP and grabbed the shower curtain. The CHAIR flipped over and tumbled out of the bathtub. That's when the CANDLE went out, plunging Janet into darkness. The TEMPERATURE dropped and Janet was cold.

All of Janet's friends were waiting for her in the kitchen. It was a surprise birthday party. Suddenly the door swung open and somebody turned on the lights. Surprise!! She grabbed the shower curtain and wrapped it around herself. She used the CLOTHES PIN to pin it closed. Saved by the PIN!! .

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MADAM LINDA

The day began about 5 a.m. when the ALARM went off. Madam Linda rolled her 300 pound body out of bed and landed loudly on the hardwood floor. She stumbled to the bathroom. She vigorously searched for her AFTER EIGHTS to give her the strength to start her day. She knew she was late for her swimming class, so she quickly inhaled the box of AFTER EIGHTS, packed her bikini and GOGGLES in her SPORTS BAG, and started out the door.

Realizing that she was still in her baby dolls, she attempted to re-enter the apartment, but she was locked out. She looked in her purse for her keys, but realized that they were not there. She pulled the COMPACT from her purse to check her make-up because she realized that she would have to see the landlord whom people described as an earthbound Adonis.
