This week’s photo prompt reminds me of a joke. The photo is
“Complaint Department Upstairs”
“Ha, Ha, Ha,”
Oh, sorry. Wrong finger. Wrong direction. OK, forget about it. Well, OK, I’ll explain it. You see, it’s the middle finger that’s supposed to be pointing up and then the caption reads “Complaint Department Upstairs”. Get it? Well then, file your own complaint! Complaint department is upstairs. Are we up to 100 words yet? No? Well complaint department is upstairs. Is this getting overly repetitive? Well, complaint department is upstairs…..Are we at 100 words yet? Well…..Take it up with the complaint department. It’s upstairs, buddy.
An Occasional Story or Magazine 
Humorous – very original take. Like the self reference and recursive structure.
Glad you liked it. I like the word recursive, which sounds a bit like penmanship.
Very funny. I don’t need to go upstairs about this one, but if I do in future, I will come back and ask for directions 🙂
Thanks for visiting. I don’t have any directions except “keep on the sunny side”.
Well, that’s just cuter than heck.
Heck, thanks a lot.
Very funny. In the Complaint Department, be sure to go to Helen Hunt! Ron
Helen Hunt?
No, go to Helen Wait!!!!!
Smiles to both you and to Randy’s response. I’ve felt like doing something similar before. 🙂
Smiles back. That complaint dept sign is an old joke. And yes, there’s no reason why these friday fictioneers things be so serious.
I have just nominated you for not one but two awards, if you go in for that sort of thing. Congratulations. http://bookmust.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/the-tale-of-the-leibster-and-the-gargie/
This was great. No complaints here. I kept reading it and reading it and enjoying the plot and characterization, the mood and tempo. It was a different and compelling spin on things. I kept wondering how to get to the second floor and what it might be like. The suspense was overpowering. This was great. No complaints here.

You can say that again!

Oh, oh. I think we have to stop meeting like this. Oh. oh I think….
😉 😉 😉 😉 ;-)…
That’s a good way to do it 🙂
I hope that’s not a complaint.
Hahaha! No complaints here
I hope not. Because Sunday is coming up!
Haven’t seen you for a while, Steve. Did you make it to 100 words? I didn’t count.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I think I hit 100 on the button. I’ve been busy, and getting a bit silly.
Ha ha! Good one Stephen 😀 This is how my entry would turn out, if I even attempted it!
Haha. This reminds me of how my NaNo writing is going right about now. Well, you know, some people need to be told many times where and how to do something!! What’s upstairs again?
The complaints?
I’m not complaining. That was fine!
Very clever!
Really? I thought it was terrible. However, I didn’t want to voice any complaints.
It was a good use of idea bankruptcy!. I found it amusing.
I’m trying to think of idea bankrupcy, and I can’t think of a thing…Ooops.
LOL That reminds me of the movie “Labyrinth” My all time favorite movie!!!! Do you remember when she goes up to the door and wants to knock on the knockers of the two doors?
No, what happens?
OMG you haven’t seen that movie! Ok so she has a choice between the two doors, one has a knocker through his ears and claims he can’t hear, he’s a pig BTW, and the other has the ring through his mouth. So she can only choose one door or the other. She takes the ring out of the door knocker guys mouth so she can understand what he’s saying. She makes the one with the ring in his mouth put the ring back into his mouth by holding his nose shut so he can’t breathe. She gets the ring back in and falls into an oubliette. It’s a funny movie. You should watch it, I think I have seen it like 900 times. 🙂
if you’ve seen it 900 times, does that make you a labyrinth? Quite puzzling if you ask me. Repetition is the father of retention. What part do you like the best?

Maybe it does make me a labyrinth. LOL. My favorite part is when she is in the woods and she runs into these funky red furry creatures that take off their heads and arms and legs. It’s funny…But I also love the masquerade ball part too!
