"Pass me that beef stew MRE, Joe."
"Sure. Can I have the freeze dried peaches?"
"What is this high school? We trading lunches or something?" A mortar landed nearby and sent dirt and debris over their heads.
"Do you even remember high school?"
"Half the time I can't even remember my own name or if I like Wheaties or hot buttered grits."
"I remember high school," Joe said wistfully. "Oh Karen, I miss you."
Len looked around, "Who the freak is Karen, you pea-head?"
"She was the love of my life, back in high school, lovely girl, very sweet, only..."
Len sighed but had to ask, "Only what?"
"I was a fool, Len, a stupid fool!"
"That's really not surprising." Both men cringed as another explosion hit close.
"I just couldn't get past her one tiny flaw."
"Which was, and be quick before I kill you myself."
"My family, we own a dairy farm, see, and she was...she was lactose intolerant!"2007-10-01T19:05:24Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/9406Comment on Remember Karen in Wartime<p>lol. a cow kermitgorf? wow.<br />neway, i luvvv the ending! hilarious!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/9406?basename=153612007-10-01T19:05:24ZOne Time, One Chancehttp://ficlets.com/authors/one_chanceComment on Remember Karen in Wartime<p>he…a cow.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/9406?basename=149082007-09-28T22:20:47Zblueyedwonderhttp://ficlets.com/authors/blueyedwonderComment on Remember Karen in Wartime<p>I was scared for a sec that Karen was a ...cow… great job. great original setting. congrats on the win.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/9406?basename=141952007-09-25T04:01:02ZSKermitgorfhttp://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorfComment on Remember Karen in Wartime<p> HAHAHAHAHAHAHA . i love that. and congrats on first place!!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/9406?basename=141792007-09-25T01:47:10Zblueyedwonderhttp://ficlets.com/authors/blueyedwonderComment on Remember Karen in Wartime<p>“Beef Stew MRE ” – haha. Having eaten MRE ’s during my stint in the Air Force, that one wasn’t too bad. Chicken Ala King wasn’t bad either. What was bad was the calories – something like 4,000 calories in each MRE . Yikes! Were you in the military? You sure seem to know your MRE ’s. Nice writing as always… You’re one of my favorite writers.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/9406?basename=123462007-09-15T23:06:12ZYodaOnCrackhttp://ficlets.com/authors/yodaoncrackComment on Remember Karen in Wartime<p>That’s hilarious!!
