Cheers for posting Don. This is just a daft idea that I found funny, don't know if anyone else will. I have a strange sense of humour haha.

Strange sense of humor is right, though I love the avatar. Nothing wrong with the ole in-out.

This was a quick read and pretty humorous, the Johnny Cash song mention certainly led me a in a different direction so the ending was surprising. Not sure if it was intentional or not but I loved Trevor's "Got it covered" pun, though his repeated use of the word "honey" was sort of annoying.

If I were you, I'd change the title of this one to "Sue's Tale."

That's it, and I can't imagine this review was helpful in the least. I enjoyed the read though.

Cheers Ian. I was gonna have a play on words with the title 'Sue's tail' but didn't wanan give the game away. Never even thought about having tale spelt correctly. I like that.

The "Got it covered" pun was intentional, nice spot. The Johnny Cash song is in for that exact reason, so again pleased that worked.

It's not supposed to be anything more than a daft script that might raise a titter so pleased you enjoyed it and found it humorous.

PS; My Avatar is the best shot in movie history haha

Hey Ste,

I think Ian's title is more fitting lol. This was quite amusing and I have to confess, I jumped to different conclusion. Still didn't disappoint though, good short.

A like a good play on words title, in fact most of my scripts are just that. One of my first scripts was set at a funeral and called 'the big stiff' but didn't relate to the size of the corpse.

Hey Ste,

Interesting script.  I think I might have felt Trevor's pantomime reaction if I was in his shoes.

Nice script.  For me it wasn't laugh out loud funny, but humorous.

All the best.

Hey ste,

Yep, this was strange.
Curley Sue?
I immediately thought of Shirley Temple...
then you had me thinking something else...
then the crazy ending...

It was cute... different...

Thanks for the reads.

Quoted from alffy I think Ian's title is more fitting lol. This was quite amusing and I have to confess, I jumped to different conclusion. Still didn't disappoint though, good short.

Yeah, I prefer his title too. I was wanting people to think the obvious, and then have a twist ending. People with tails man, mental! haha

Quoted from Javier Interesting script.  I think I might have felt Trevor's pantomime reaction if I was in his shoes. Nice script.  For me it wasn't laugh out loud funny, but humorous.

Yeah, me too mate. I wanted Sue to be so rediculously attractive that the unfortunate medical condition could be...overlooked.

Quoted from Cindy Yep, this was strange. Curley Sue? I immediately thought of Shirley Temple... then you had me thinking something else... then the crazy ending... It was cute... different...

I think you summarise it beautifully Cindy...in fact, that should maybe have been my logline haha.

Pleased it's raised a smile or two, that's all I hoped for.

ps, if this quote thing's worked I'll be amazed!

It was cute.

Happy to see you didn't go for the obvious ending.   You gave us the impression that you were foreshadowing the obvious ending - which was a crafty move on your part.

I had trouble picturing exactly where the tail was attached and think you should be a bit clearer in your description.  Was she lying on her back with the tail attached in front (which would be very weird) or was it doggy style with her tail attached in back?

Anyway, I enjoyed the read.

Cheers,

Michael

I don't know about this one Ste.

Hehe. It was funny at some point. I thought she was a male like in my script Amy's Party. But no, she had a tail, like Goku in Dragon Ball hehe

It read fast that's a good thing of your scripts, God how many times i told you that hehe.

Cheers

Cheers Michael/Nik

It's an extension of the coxix(sp?) bone. An unborn baby has a tail for the first few weeks but then it changes. There are rare examples of people being born with tails though, this is just an exageration of that. Could probably have desbribed it a little clearer though. She was on her back, but the tails was visible from the back, like a dog wanting its belly tickled haha

Quoted from Nik I thought she was a male like in my script Amy's Party. But no, she had a tail, like Goku in Dragon Ball hehe

The tail's in the tale!
