The group arrived at the summit and erected their flag in triumph.
‘We did it! What better backdrop than this!’ Samantha enthused.
Jerry sighed and collapsed against a rock. ‘It was worth the climb, but I’m exhausted.’
‘How high are we?’ asked Barb.
‘I have no idea, but the view……………. take my picture someone!’
An hour later, they heard movement behind them and turned to see a stranger coming over the edge practically on all fours.
‘Hi,’ he puffed. ‘Do you have a permit for that?’
Jerry looked confused.
‘For what?’
‘The flag.’
‘You’re kidding, right?’
‘I’m sorry, new legislation. Too many people coming into the country illegally and trying to lay claim to land by sticking a flag in it. So all flags must be registered and have a permit. Just got a Tweet from the White House about it. I can show you if you like? ‘

Oooh yes, gotta love the “tweet” 🙂
Quite. 🙂
Now why doesn’t that surprise me…lol
ha!
Haha, bureaucracy by tweet. Love it! 🙂
Somehow I thought you might! Have a good day.
My story had a different President making the flag illegal.
Hahaha! That pretty much is how the government works these days! Great story!
Thanks Joy. The twittering tweet of a twit.
Ha ha ha, could easily become a horrific reality sooner than we think. It’s surprising, or maybe not, that so many people took the same ‘immigrants’ route this time.
