Thanks to Emmy L. Gant for the Photo Prompt this week!
Operation: Steak Fries
“I told you to use fresh offerings,” Major Flank said. “Looks to me, Comrades, like Lt. Shank failed the whole operation. Look at those teeth marks. Couldn’t take waiting all night till chow?”
“With all due respect, sir,” Shank said, “I would like to remind the company that I am a vegetarian. And a decent human being.”
“That remains to be determined,” Captain Loin said, “Shank was on duty while Lt. Rib performed the intergalactic call. Get Private Round in here; set up another offering.”
“Sir, Round was the previous offering.”
“Indeed. Well, Shank, time to see if you’re acceptable.”

Hello, Fellow Writers ~
I tried something different this week and went with strictly dialogue. Hope it works!

Hilarious, MW. The warning here is never enter a steak house if you’re a piece of beef. I caught on about half way through. Well done. 😀 — Suzanne
