The story below was inspired by the annual 750 words competition of which it is NOT a part (being several months late or even more early). Most of my Tales From the Club stories run to around 7000 words, so this little quickie is written as a lark. I hope you enjoy it for what it is.

I was spelling Ron as bartender when Matthew and a perky little brunette strolled in. As they approached the bar, she'd break into giggles followed by "The look on his face!"
I looked at Matthew until he said, "John, Selma; Selma John. Two Manhattans, please, my good man."
"My good man your ass, and you don't get drinks until you tell me what's so funny."
"Alright, already, but at least pour as I spill." That seemed fair; I started mixing.
"Well, you see, I minster to the needs of my flock as they arise." Matthew has a store-front church with an unusually high percentage of lady parishioners, to whom he did a lot of ministering on the side.
"And."
