This Week's Ten Word Challenge is: officer, candid, drowning, turtles, sugar-coated, prospecting, shame on you, recliner, luggage, brains

And for the mini: paragon of virtue, cats-in-the-cradle, swamp, sprinkles, garbage

"Look
officer, let me be candid with you. You are drowning here. the turtles club needs the Magic parrot and we haven't sugar-coated the attempt to try to enslave him. The Dragons want to make soup of him.. Shame on you, go sit in your recliner, and I will get the luggage packed, Mr. Brains You are no paragon of virtue. The games the kiddies were playing were cats-in-the-cradle and spin the bottle,,, And they filled the bottle with swamp water and made sprinkles with powdered garbage." Sallyie was so befuddled that she did not make much sense. Just then Phrog arrived.

Phrog came in, put his briefcase down, and walked over to the kitchen table. He opened the newspaper to the obituary section and started to read.

"Why did you start reading the newspaper at the obituary section?" Sallyie asked.

"Because," Phrog said, "I wanted to see who croaked today
.

Ph, my! That has to be the WORST joke ever! But it did make me smile at the end of a long and rather sad day, so it's ok really. What on earth was Sallyie going on about? And what will eventually become of the magic parrot?

I think Sallyie was smoking something while Phrog was out! Non-sequitur is her middle name!

Argh...the joke.
