What's So Funny?
Russell Gayer, author speaker
The Dolly Madison Files
Drones have been in the news a lot lately. I don’t understand why someone who performs no work, produces no honey, and whose sole function in life to mate with the Queen gets so much ink. Sure, the old gal is getting up in years and has a few wrinkles, but still, it sounds like an easy job with great fringe benefits.
There are probably a lot of guys out there who would like to be a sex toy for Royalty. But from what I hear many of them object to being called Drones. They claim it’s demeaning and makes them feel less of a man. I say, “Get over it. Suck it up and do your duty for God and Country.” Perry, you go first.

“Listen to this.” Mario read the profile to Luigi. “Lovers have described me as old fashioned and uncomplicated. Soft to the touch and light as a feather. For an unforgettable night, drizzle warm chocolate over my tender flesh, add a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry”
“Sounds sticky. What else ya got?”
“Treat yourself to an evening of blissful pleasure. If you like firm peaches and ripe melons, I’m the dish for you. Naturally sweet, full-bodied, and guaranteed to temp, tease and tantalize. Let me fulfill your innermost desires.”
“I don’t know. I feel guilty cheating on Betty Crocker.”

Dear Luigi,
I suppose Little Debbie will be next…but somehow I don’t see her as being much of a Hostess. Don’t be a Ding-Dong, stay true to the original Queen. I’d hate to see you go off half baked for some creme filled tart.
shalom,
Aunt Bea

Dear Aunt Bea,
Little Debbie is headquartered in Gentry (40 miles away) and has already accused me of having peanut butter for a brain. My Queen is in her counting house hoping to sell some antiques and collectibles. Lord knows, we could use the money. Thanks for listening while I drone on and on.

Dear Russell,
Your story cheers me up no end as I have been unable to access my profile information ever sine the hack. I also learned that there are no real women on the site, only ones made up by ex-Friday Fictioneer writers and that no refunds will be granted. It’s a hard life.
Good to read your lunacy again.
Aloha,
Doug

Hasn’t it come out that the drones were really just communicating with other drones? Were these online ‘affairs’ or real human contact? Sorry, I guess I haven’t done my research. But I loved your take on the entire affair.

I’d love to know more about the person who hacked and spilled the beans. Somehow I think I might kind of like him/her. Nice one, Russell, taking the p*** out of a delightful mess.

From what I read, the hacker tried to blackmail them and they refused to pay. Now, people are suing the site founder over the security breech. Those who sneak around eventually get exposed.

I saw that business in the newspaper, but didn’t read it. At my age I consider myself beyond all that I guess. Sad to say many of us this age are more interested in obits. With all the web break-ins putting them at risk for that behavior, I wonder where people’s brains are. It’s possible they’re sitting on them I suppose. Hilarious as always, Russell. 😀 — Suzanne

I read the obits daily too. It must be what people over 50 do.
As to where those folk’s brain is located–it’s between their legs.

Well, Russell, I will do my duty for God and country, but mostly just for me. I don’t mind being called a drone, it’s been my life’s dream; I also hope one day to be a notary. As for Betty Crocker, I look forward to eating her delicious brownies as soon as possible!
