🤡 F‑O‑O‑L‑S, Galore

Judge: bangs gavel, slipping slightly on oil “Order! Order in this… slippery madhouse!”

Defense Attorney: “Your Honor, he’s a changed man! The storage house will be emptied, and my client will surrender all 300 metric tons of Wedone baby oil.”

Crowd: gasps; a spectator slides past three rows like a human curling stone

Judge: “Three hundred metric tons? Are you mad?” dodges a flying gavel

Defendant: “Mad? Perhaps. Enlightened? Absolutely. Also… very slippery.”

Bailiff: blows whistle; slips and spins like a figure skater “All rise… for the parade of F‑O‑O‑L‑S, Galore!”

Narrator: “And so, the courtroom erupted into a spectacle of epic foolishness: juggling clowns tumbled over banana peels, a marching band played upside-down, the baby oil formed a small lake in the center aisle, and one ambitious spectator attempted to kayak across it in a courtroom chair—all exaggerated for dramatic effect.”

Crowd: cheers, laughter, applause, and at least two heroic bellyflops

Judge (resigned): “I… I yield. Let foolishness reign… F‑O‑O‑L‑S, Galore!”

Scott L.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
