Drabble by Kevin Fagan for July 25, 2023

Hilarious Norm?

Has he ever been in deep water?

At least he’s close enough to jump in and save them if he sees them drowning.

Ahh yes, the zinc oxide on the nose only- before sunscreen was invented – still getting skin frozen and cut from those days on the chair.

So that job he had at the hardware store a while back never panned out?

I’m more afraid of widths.

The hiring manager is as incompetent as Norman.

I don’t think he could pass the test!

Sounds like he’s in over his head…

Ok I’ll hazard a guess at the storyline. A swimmer gets in trouble, Normal tries to help and gets himself in trouble. Echo or Wendy happen to be there and rescue both of them. Or maybe a new female character that Norman gets infatuated with.

The water wings don’t inspire much confidence either.

As long as he isn’t afraid of depths, they should be all right.

Got to admit that chair doesn’t look very stable. It has something in common with Norm.

Considering how he’s been portrayed, I sincerely doubt that Norm would have passed the Red Cross certificate that life guards need toward their qualifications… Swimming he might have done, but all that studying for the other, I don’t buy it at all…
