Vocabulary Story - October 29, 2004

Mr. and Mrs. Corpulent had planned an extravagant trip to Borneo. They had hired a private jet and at noon on Saturday they were borne to Borneo. Due to the fact that the Corpulent’s were extremely corpulent, their plane didn’t make it to Borneo. Fortuitously, they landed safely on a lovely island somewhere near Borneo. Mr. Corpulent, who was rather swift in his thinking and reasoning skills, realized that the island was home to the world’s largest mini-golf course. Mrs. Corpulent, who was an avid mini-golfer, was thrilled. She never really wanted to go to Borneo anyway.

The Corpulent’s made their way, slowly because of their size, to Ali Baba’s Fabulous Mini-Golf Course. Mrs. Corpulent went to the first hole and set up her shot. The insidious clown head stared at her. She hit the golf ball with such force that she made a huge divot in the Astroturf and rent the clown head in half. Just as this was happening, Mr. Corpulent noticed a truculent storm heading toward Ali Baba’s Fabulous Mini-Golf Course. The portentous sky began to hail. Mrs. Corpulent began caterwauling that her game of mini-golf was ruined. To recede Mrs. Corpulent’s cries Mr. Corpulent mentionedthat there was a caravansary nearby. Mr. Corpulent hailed a golf cart and they made their way to the caravansary. After twelve days of continuous rain the Corpulent’s were finally able to play a round at Ali Baba’s Famous Mini-Golf Course.
