55 word stories

Everyone is writing a 55 word story. It is good timepass except that I am not very good at counting beyond seventeen.

There are many questions that bother me, though:
Why a 55 word story? Why not a 54 word story? Or a 291 word story?

But I have two such stories, myself.
Three maybe.

He sat in class gazing out of the window at the playground.

Teacher Mohan caught him and said, 'Say sorry ten times'.
So he stood up and said ' Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry '

Teacher Mohan was part psychotic and hit him over the head harshly, screaming ' Can't you count, you idiot??!!! '

He walked towards the edge of the cliff, but slipped and fell screaming " help help help help help help help help help help help help help help help help help help help help ".

It was a long way down.

He sounded like a barking dog in a comic strip, with a typo in the baloon.

Here's my attempt:

George Bush stood before the world today and admitted he was a failure. Conservatives seemed to have ignored all this and pretend it didn't happen. Bush and his lies have worn so thin that even a man without a conscience is finally admitting his faults.

Now he must step down before ruining anything else, dammit.

everyone's writing 55 word story? Hell...how didn't I know? I don't remember being in coma, nor has anyone told me so, to have not been aware of this fact.

To answer your question from your last posht - it looked like french with the "le," "C'est" words, which I have heard somewhere, but don't know what they really mean.

Well, I have read thru every single post of yours... becoz of several reasons...
1. I had a lot of time on hand (between answering frantic calls from demented individuals)
2. The posts are really funny and I wanted to check if they are consistent in their funniness (well, they are!)
3. I had nothing better to do :D
