The Problem by Gee Whillickers

What a charming story.

Of course, not being a Canadian, I had to look up what a "donair" was. Never heard of it. But now I'm hungry!

I had to look it up too. It looks like a gyro. Good eating.

A 'donair' is almost intelligible to UK residents as they are generally referred to as doner kebabs here. I did have to look them up a while back when an American TV programme referred to 'gyros'.

The story though is a complete giggle - it's both funny and cute.

I wonder how far they deliver? http://www.halifaxdonairandpizza.com/

Thanks guys.

And yeah, donairs are amazingly delicious when done right.

[Jeff Ellis]

Totally delightful. Thank you Gee, for making me laugh.

A little gem. Thank you, Gee.

Nobody ever said what the problem was, but everybody knew - even both Curt's parents. Also neither of them was at all worried about Curt's intimacy with Rob, a.k.a. "something else". All entirely feel-good and chuckle-worthy right through.

Yup, that was the challenge. Writing about it clearly, but never, ever once in the entire story actually *mentioning* what it was or even anything too related.

Thanks for your comments!

Don't worry we'll get you guys properly cultured eventually,

Decided to revisit this story in a brief respite from working on Cole's catalogue.  He has been cracking the whip mercilessly.  😎😎😎

Anyway, the story is here.  And a good article about donairs is here.

Now back to the salt mines . . .

There has been merciless whip cracking, and I have the bruises to prove it.

...and there I was thinking I'd read all of Herr Willickers stories. What other doozies have I missed?
