Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for June 22, 2010

A mere paragraph or possibly two…

That much, huh, Broomie??

I’ve hoisted my flag!

Lessee now; 50 pennies, Gaylord, Irwin. and Nerwin…

Don’t will any of it to these blasted Spammers Broomie.

Hopefully, those pennies will cover her debts. Did she prepay her funeral arrangments? That’ll cost a pretty penny!

I fully expect that roll of pennies to spent long before Broomie kicks any sort of bucket!

Love that lawyers name. They all do, you know.

But this means Broomie has to be of sound mind.

\\//_

1500 years and only a roll of pennies! Come on citizens of the Enchanted Forest, Chip in. Do you really want her to stick around to make it an even buck?

I guess that’s all she has left over after paying alimony to all those ex-husbands…

Broomie, you could donate those pennies to him so he could buy a better suit.

considering how old some of those pennies might be, they may be worth an awful lot to collectors…

I’d advise putting the Estate in an interest-bearing Trust. At perhaps 12% per annum, that would be 2 cents a year each for Gaylord, Irwin, and Nerwin, without exhausting the principal. They’d be set for life!

Is that after lawyer’s fees?

Maybe she expects to live at least another 1500 years and the pennies are going to sit in a savings account accruing interest. Or she’ll blow it all on a meal at Miliways.

Maybe she told 50 people that she left them something in her will. After the will reading, her spirit will be laughing for a hundred years.

William Pursell, that’s exactly what happens to witches, especially if someone throws water on them. “What a world, what a world…”

Broomie leaves a… Boot to the head.
