Very nice tone and writing here. You used the words in just the right way, and somehow connected them together. Well, that was the point of the challenge, but you get it.

I like the biting wit of the roadside stand guy. Good stuff.

!st part I enjoyed, last part with the 2 words I shall look up later… haha didnt make much sense to me.. until I look the words up that is..

haha… nice work. i wonder if the people at dictionary.com are wondering today why so many people are suddenly looking up ‘avoirdupois’. anyway, you made the story make sense, which is no light accomplishment. good job.

Snazzy.

The avoirdupois is the only word that feels forced out of the five. After attempting this I have an idea how hard it is.

Very good job.
