Berserko the Clown

by

Berserko the Clown ran into his old clown college professor at a New Year's Eve party.

"Hey, Teach!" Berserko said, extending his hand.

"Berserko! How the hell are ya?" he responded as he clasped Berserko's hand.

"Doing well," he replied.

"Did you ever kick that gambling addiction you had? Man, you used to stand on street corners and bet who was going to run the Stop sign!"

"I'm all done with that now," Berserko said proudly.

"Really? I'll bet you $1000 you can't go a day without betting."

"You're on!" Berserko said.

"You lost," the professor grinned.

"Damnit!" Berserko yelled.

    Sorry for being MIA lately. Was a little under the weather over Christmas (though thankfully not with you-know-what). I'll catch up on everyone's postings as soon as I can.

    WELCOME BACK! Christopher. We’ve missed you! Sorry you were under the weather; hope you are recovered now. In the meantime, over here, Frenchie and I had Covid... and my poor wife’s problems (non-Covid related) will be the subject of a drabble series as soon as I feel she’s better. But that’s another story... good ole Berserko... stooopid as ever!

    Oh my goodness. I hope you and Frenchie are better now. Give my warmest regards to Mrs. H during her convalescence.

    And thank you. I missed being here as well but I just didn't feel like even reading anything, much less writing.

    Thank you, Verity. I'm afraid I slipped away again. I'm still trying to adjust to the new year. I used to love wintertime but I must admit I've found this one to be rather depressing. Hopefully I can shake myself from this gloominess soon.

    Sorry to hear that you’re feeling down, Christopher. Having myself suffered from the so called seasonal affective disorder, I know how debilitating it can be. Mrs H used to say to me that the cure could be action... i.e. get stuck in to some activity and you’ll find that the sheer process of doing something about your lassitude will change your outlook. That’s her theory anyway... and I have to admit that it has worked for me. Maybe Jake could help?🤞(....but right now I need to take some of my own medicine, drabblewise🥴)

    Thanks, everyone. I'll be back eventually. Still in a bit of a funk.
