The Black Dan Lake Proposal


Due to his aggressive behavior the wild man was out of the picture leaving Frank and Joanne in a peaceful romantic mood just getting up in time for the late afternoon delight featuring the beautiful sun setting show.

While working for the Recreational Equipment Incorporated Frank invented a mushroom shape snack bar called the Atomic Rei that in a second would give an energy boost to any royal King. This economic freehold allowed him social security before dropping the hint that it was time to buy the lifelong loving ring.

Before going to bed one night in his lonely rural city one bedroom apartment he decided to conjure up a jolting renaissance artistic vision after popping the Atomic Rei figurine into his mouth. Later that night Titus Seelster a biblical created character who was dressed like a Romanian Beauty Distributor entered the single man’s dream.

“I am the Spirit of Truth and this is my nice tri at giving you a charge,” she recited, “I see you as a winning ideal suspect for Joanne’s permanent commitment, I suggest take her to Black Dan Lake and get on your knees.” As the image disappeared Titus Seelster’s dialogue was not muted on the microphone,

“He’s Gratis N,” The volunteer proclaimed about her third appointment that opened the door for clarification from an off-stage voice,

“N, what?”

Awaking in a power play sweat Frank called upon a friend who had a cabin on the Sawyer County fishing hole shores and once the weekend reservation was confirmed the luring invitation was sent out.

Joanne’s attention was on the orange ball as it said good night but when Frank came up from the inside to take the formal pleading position an honest request was starting to take form.

Ameriman the winner of your heart?” Frank bumbled the spitted out question.

“What?” Joanne replied watching the velvet covered box appear,

“Am I a marrying man, the winner of your heart?” Frank repeated.

For a moment Joanne remembered when they met during a cheese convention and Frank who was bitter was passing out useless items to promote the importance to aging provolone.

“You were a winner when you were the Swagasaurusrex vendor with dreams of being the Atomic Rei creator,” Joanne knew Frank was a solid emotional and financial investment.

After completing the ritual Frank snuggled up in the seat and the two watched the stars arrive showing the clear waterway path confirming both came home with a worthy catch.
