“I want a divorce”.
Senator Trumpet lowers the newspaper, appraises his wife Strumpet’s hour-glass figure. Not too thin. Not too plump. Just the way the American public likes it.
“Why? Want to go back to the meth-lab where I found you? ” he needles her.
He needs her, when he runs for the “Round office”, to complete his presidential image.
Strumpet isn’t the brightest in the block but she knows one thing…Trumpet for President means disaster. She isn’t going to let that happen.
She cancels her gym membership. Eats cup-cakes for breakfast,lunch and dinner. She’s proud to serve her country.

Perhaps she’ll keep Hostess Bakery in business all by herself. Eating to obesity is an unusual way to serve your country, but if someone has to do it, I applaud their contribution.

ha ha. Maybe she will bail Hostess from bankruptcy. If eating cup-cakes serves the country I’m sure we will have many soldiers signing up for duty 🙂

Great pun play. Let’s hope she’s changed her image in time to put a spoke in Trumpet’s wheel.

Love it. Even a ditzy model type can see the horror of a “Senator Trumpet” presidency. I’ll happily donate all the chocolate cake she can eat to her cause. 🙂 Great story!

Alas, I could never give that good a reason for eating more than I should. That was original thinking, Ansumani. I loved her name when put together.I doubt any of the wives of the present candidates would go that far. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne

This is a funny story. Everyone can serve their country in some way – maybe not everyone would enjoy it as much as Strumpet is going to, however. I wish her well.
