Friday Flash 55.....


(Circa 1962..A dark deserted NYC street at 3:00 AM. Two strangers approach.)

"Pardon me, do you have a match?"

'I use a lighter'.

"Better yet"

'Until they go bad'.

"X-55?"

'Comrade'

"You have....*The Plan* ?"

'Yes, I have *The Plan* with me. In this valise is *The Plan* for total
world domination.......'
Code Name: Amway!!!!!



I'm curious....Has anyone ever offered to show you *The Plan*?
If you or anyone you know has a plan, or has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then BOOK!!!
So from the most Multi-Level Marketing host from coast to coast
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!!

    Ah, the super secret spy stuff can be so disappointing. I bet 007, or Boris and Natasha, never sold Amway. A most sinister 55, Mr. G.

    I'm playin--just a poem, nothing crazy:

    Nobody ever tells me anything, and I quit planning after they always went awry.

    Mine is up, and I'm trying this link thing. HERE

    No, never wanted to go with the "Plan". Aren't all those plans shaped like pyramids? You can spot 'em a mile away!

    Ha ha, not to keen on Amway... but the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids is NICE! I stayed there once.

    It would probably be a lot of fun to be a spy...

    All except for that whole part about getting captured and placed in front of a firing squad or having to bite a cyanide capsule so they can't torture the secrets out of you.

    Other than that, though, tons of fun!

    Thanks for another Friday 55!
    Mine's here. :)

    So that's what Amway was really all about! Somehow, I'm not surprised.

    Altogether eerie! No one has asked me about The Plan, although in job interviews I was asked what my five and ten year goals were (an aggravating question for one with No Plan!!!).
    Have a lovely spontaneous weekend, G.

    Circles and arrows to success. However, it must be said that at one time Amway was second only to Microsoft in creating millionaires.

    oh dear god, yes, i've endured a presentation of "the plan." true believers can never quite understand why someone might not be interested.

    Ha- it's a good thing that one of them wasn't just a smoker, looking for a light! Though always a bit worrisome when world domination seekers happen onto each other!

    Here's mine. Hope you are well.

    ah, good... it's working again for me.

    O.M. Freaking God. I went to a meeting of The Plan once. At my cousin's place -- God love her. She ended up losing about a grand when all was said and done.

    WONDERFUL write, G-Man.

    I wrote a poem recently. It turned out to be about 55 words.it's here.
