Hey Vanderbilt, you see anything?
Yes sir, there’s someone in distress.
Where?
Co-ordinates 0001300000
What does that mean?
1 o’clock sir.
Vanderbilt, you idiot that’s the Statue of Liberty.
Oh sorry sir.
Vanderbilt, how did you get this job?
My number came up sir.
Really?
I’m sorry sir.
Now keep your eyes peeled for Moby Dick.
Sir, did you say Moby’s dick?
Vanderbilt, don’t be a smart arse.
Yes sir.
In fact the next dumb arse thing you say I’ll throw you overboard.
I’d rather you didn’t sir.
Why Vanderbilt?
Well there’s a bloody great whale following us.

I was laughing out loud, great job 🙂
Thanks Helen, sometimes the prompt begs for humour
Laughing here, too. Just a little grammar note. When addressing someone directly, such as “Vanderbilt” or “sir” in your piece, the name should be separated from the rest of the sentence by one or two commas depending, of course, whether it’s at the beginning/end of the sentence (one comma) or in the middle (two, one on either side.)

Thank you Janet, good to see you again, better that you have not lost any of your touch. Glad you enjoyed it.
Luckily I do not mind grammatical errors and focus on the story….very funny! Great job.
Thank you BA, as always your comments are most welcomed.
Great turn around on this one. So cleverly written. Great job!
Thank you so much. Very kind of you.
This was really funny, I like very much – well done you 🙂
Thanks RM. I am glad you were able to smile at my work.
🙂 the story mind
Hilarious!!!
Hello Ted, thanks so much I am glad you found it funny to read.
That was great! This is the second FF I’ve read in the last couple of minutes to make me laugh – just the thing early on a foggy Thursday morning 🙂
You can’t get better than a good belly laugh first thing on a foggy morning. Thanks d for your comment.
Dear Summer,
Run! The great white’s looking for Captain Ahab. Fun dialogue. A note: I believe “some one” should be “someone”. And it gives you an extra word. No charge. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
Drats, I shall pay one back next week….Thanks for reading Rochelle…..so you do count…hmmm……there’s no getting away with anything is there….
Vanderbilt is a great character. I can’t tell if he’s stupid or just playing dumb to mess with the captain, but either way it’s gold!
Thanks Adam. Thanks for visiting and your comment.He is a character I may use again somewhere.
A flare for the obvious, that Vanderbilt has it by the bucket! Funny.
Hello Honie thanks for your comment and for reading my post. Please call again.
A wonderfully funny twist on the photo prompt. Well done!
Thanks Jan, thanks for reading glad it gave you a laugh.
LOL!!! I’ve got Tim Conway pictured for the part of Vanderbilt. What a great character! I think you need to keep him around and pull him out for some future stories! Oh gosh,, look at that! It’s 0001300000! Where does the time go? HA! 😀
Thanks Linda. I did have fun with him and 100 words does limit the potential fun that is possible.
Oh I know what you mean. I could do these fun little challenges all day long! 😀
Hehe! He’s a little bit hopeless, isn’t he! 🙂
Thanks Freya, yes he is not the brightest.
Just too too funny. That’s all. How fun, cleverly done I might add! 🙂 xx
This was a lot of fun, one of those stories you think of early in the morning.Thank you for reading
This was the first one this week I laughed out loud on… 😀
Thanks Bjorn I am happy that I could give you a laugh
Great dialogue. You’ve got me smiling, too.
Thank you Patti. Happy you enjoyed my take this week.
Oh, great one! I think Lady Liberty is in distress after everything she’s been through. Loved the humor in this.
Thanks Amy, glad you enjoyed it.
Dear Summerstommy,
A great tongue in cheek piece. Moby’s what? Great line.
Aloha,
Doug
G’day Doug, thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed it.
