Luella had been certain she had mailed out her completed tax returns in early April...until she found them wedged above the passenger side sunvisor in mid-May when she decided to let Carl drive them home from the Realtor's office.
Lester thought he was having a great day - he worked from home and was doing great, filling orders and prospecting online for new business, feeling productive and sure his employer would notice and that a raise was no doubt in the works. When his cell started ringing and it was the ringtone he reserved for his boss, he was smiling as he answered. He greeted his boss with an enthusiastic Hello! that oozed charm...his smile faded though as his boss explained that the company released the quarterly performance reports today, which had revealed that the division he was part of was bleeding money like a stuck pig and thus was being shut down and every employee was being let go, effective immediately.
Mayetta had been trained to use the forklift. She had demonstrated considerable skill with the forklift. She was a trusted and relied upon forklift operator.

Diego liked to dance, and he was good at it. He was happy to dance at his brother's wedding reception with anyone who cared to join him, and was happy to exhibit his skills a solo performer if no one was willing to. He was graceful and had excellent rhythm and could improvise floor work like nobody's business. He was enjoying himself immensely right up until the moment the pants on his rented tuxedo split right down the middle revealing that he had gone commando that afternoon.
Cathy had purchased an expensive bike and an expensive bike lock with which to secure it. She rode her expensive bike to her favorite hangout and secured it to a lamppost just outside the bar with her expensive bike lock. The large truck that slammed into the lamppost made the bike, lock, and lamppost quite the modern art masterpiece.
