Mr. Peanut

One of my weaknesses in life is the salted peanut. I don’t know if they’re healthy or unhealthy; I like them too much to do research. I might find something bad about them, so I just stay ignorant.
 However, I was looking at Mr. Peanut, the logo on the Planters Peanut can, and I became somewhat concerned about the statement he is making. If you ran into someone on the street who wore a tophat, monocle, gloves, shoes, and nothing else,  I think we would call the police.
A quick assessment would suggest he must have bad vision in only one eye, obviously has some problem walking which calls for a cane, is a blatant exibitionist, and is delusional enought to be happy about it all.
I think I will just enjoy the peanuts and put the can away. Just Say’n.

  1. This could be turned into a series of modern day commentaries about commercial brand icons from the 50s and 60s; Charlie the Tuna, Chicken of the Sea Mermaid, The Jolly Green Giant, The Campbell's Soup Kids etc. #justsayin

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
