Too much of a good thing?
By

Bill unlocked the front door to his apartment and stepped inside, finding his roommate, Fred, sprawled out on the sofa in front of the TV. "Hey," Bill said, "what's up?"
"Nothing much," replied Fred. "How was work today?"
"Well, it was ... weird," Bill said slowly.
"Really? Weird how?"
"It started off on the train this morning. The fare inspectors came through, and there was a woman in my car who hadn't bought a ticket."
"And did the fare inspectors spank her?"
"No, they just wrote her a citation."
"Hm." Fred looked perturbed.
"Then, later on, I was having lunch with my boss, and the waitress brought him the wrong order three times."
"Did your boss spank her?"
"No, he just complained to the manager."
"And the manager spanked her, right?"
"No, he gave us a different waitress and my boss got his lunch free."
"Wow. That is weird."
"Then, to top it off, this afternoon our delivery girl was a whole hour late making her usual pickup."
"Surely your boss spanked her, didn't he?"
"No. He called the delivery company, and they didn't charge us for today."
"Jeez." Fred sat up a little straighter. "Now that you mention it, some weird things happened to me today, too."
"Really? What were they?"
"Well ... I was meeting students with Professor Peterson today, going over their term papers. This one woman hadn't even started on her paper."
"Wow. Did the professor spank her?"
"No, he gave her an incomplete and told her to have it in by the end of next term."
Bill shook his head in disbelief.
"He caught another woman plagiarizing her paper completely."
"And did she get spanked?"
"No, he just failed her and reported her to the Dean of Students."
"Will the Dean spank her?"
"No, he'll probably just suspend her for a while."
"Boy. Talk about your weird days!"
At that moment, the apartment door opened and Glen, their neighbor from across the hall, stepped in. "Hi, guys, what's up?" he greeted them.
"Nothing much. We were just discussing how weird our days were," said Bill.
"Really? I had a pretty weird day myself."
"Oh? What happened to you?"
"At rehearsal today, one of the actresses kept missing her cues and forgetting her lines."
"Did the director spank her?" asked Fred.
"No, he just told her to shape up, or he'd get a new actress for the part."
Bill and Fred exchanged looks.
"Then, while I was getting fitted for my costume, the assistant slipped and tore the sleeve off my coat," Glen went on.
"Did the costumer spank her?" asked Bill.
"No, she just told her to fix the mess and be more careful."
The three men shook their heads. "All these women misbehaving, and not one got spanked," said Fred. "What do you think it means?"
"I hate to say this," Bill responded, "but I think it means we've been watching way too many spanking videos!"

This story is laugh-out-loud funny, and completely unpredictable. It makes fun of spanking genre conventions in a classy and gentle way. A real pleasure to read and re-read.

Read it, it's good. This author has come up with an original take on things that resonated with me and gave me a good belly laugh! This would fit well in the satire category, if we had one.

This is a very nicely done little story. At the start, I wondered what sort of weird world we were in, then I realized the truth. The author has neatly exposed the rather obsessive nature of the kink sometimes, this is just the opposite of the classic startle game. Well done.
