Well, not exactly gone-Harry turned into a chair. Can a marriage survive when one of the partners is an overstuffed recliner? (Originally appeared in A Baker's Dozen)DICK AND JANE MEET BARRY MANILOW: It is Labor Day. DICK and JANE-most any age-are in their backyard grilling hotdogs.

Three conniving judges of a local art competition, each with their own devious agenda, select the winning entrees for a forthcoming exhibition. (Originally appeared in Tales From Darkest Suburbia)THE DUMPLINGS: (1M/1W) Sid and Sylvia Dumpling, an unassuming suburban couple whom neighbors would say are likable and friendly, take their food very seriously. Some might say too seriously. Haute Cuisine plays a disproportionate role in their lives as they go on a quest for that ultimate gastronomical ecstasy. Very few appreciate the subtleties of the palate as much as Sid and Sylvia Dumpling.(Originally appeared in Tales From Darkest Suburbia)THE BUTCHER'S THUMB: 1M/1W. A kitchen table, 2 chairs, a butcher's block. Hank and Millie Slaughter are having a conversation concerning the butcher's severed thumb and the evening's menu. The question is, who's really the butcher and whose thumb is it anyway?

(Originally appeared in A Baker's Dozen)SISTERS OF LITTLE MERCY: (3W) No Set except a small table and 3 chairs. A bit of nun-sense about three nuns who are banished to Little Mercy, Colorado-an abandoned silver mining town high in the Rockies, to do penitence for conduct unbecoming the wives of Jesus. Their misfortune turns into a fortune found in the outhouse when Sister Mary Madeline discovers an unusual light shining between her legs.(Originally appeared in A Baker's Dozen) THE GAZILLION: (1W/1M) Rosy is waiting for her plane to board that will begin her journey around the world. Smith wishes he had never sat next to her as Rosy terrorizes him in her own inimitable style. Both have something to hide.(Originally appeared in Tales From Darkest Suburbia)
