We live in a little town called Placid . The word Placid means..
1 : serenely free of interruption or disturbance: and we the people of Placid aim to keep it just that way. Being , just a little town we the people of Placid feel that we need to keep things simple for instance in Placid we have just one Gas station with just one Gas station attendant, we have just one fire station with one truck and yes a singular fireman.
We have just one Market and so forth.. there just is not a lot of room for extras.
I few months ago a nice young couple by the name of Douglas stumbled upon our little town of Placid.
Well, the story goes like this, the Mrs., was so taken by our serene little town that she begged the Mr. to relocate right here in Placid.
Not knowing where to start the headed to the City Hall..where they were greeted by Mrs. Filmore the clerk.
"May, I help you folks?"
"We were just passing through your little town and the Mrs. was so impressed that she thought that we might just relocate here permanently", replied Mr. Douglas.
"Um. Well , we the people of Placid would be happy to have the two of you stay on.. but first I must inform you that we don't have rooms for extras. do tell me what it is that you and the Mrs., do."
" Mrs. Douglas is a School teacher K through 12 and myself a Doctor."
" This Could be a problem we already have a town teacher and a town Doc , we don't have much need round her for extras as I already explained, however we do happen to have a couple of openings.. Young lady by the name of Mary Wiggins up and moved away a few weeks back and ole Hank Mills.. passed way few days ago,God rest his soul".
"Honey, I really love this place, you have been so stressed lately, I'm sure we could do just about anything, we are two well educated people.. and imagine.. how nice it would be to live in a place like this.."
"Do you think we could find a place to stay?" asked Mr Douglas.
"Well like I said Mary's done moved out her place is for Sale, lovely little place"
"Well, baby cakes, if you really think this is the place for us.. then I'm sure that we will find a way to fit in".
" So, then you two are decided, great I have some paperwork for you to fill out and you can move right in..I can't begin to tell you how happy we are to have these positions filled so quickly.. I can't even begin to tell Mrs. Douglas how grateful the men folk will be to see that Mary has been replaced, and Mr. Douglas,Mr Murphy, down at the Placid Pub will be wanting to see you soon as possible ..hold on , for a sec' I'm going to ring up Mayor Phil and give him the good news, Hello Mayor Phil, This is Millie Filmore , I wanted to tell you we have filled the positions of Town Drunk and Town Hooker, I know I thought it would take longer too..."
Mrs., Douglas turned to Mr. Douglas and smiled, "I'm game if you are".
