An Excellent Hilarious Pair of Short Stories

These are two outrageously funny short stories. The narrator, Dick Hill is excellent. It s very short. I paid very little. Thank You,

When good things happen to bad people & vice versa

Fun, from the pulpit tales about expecting certain outcomes based upon nothing more than stereotypes and “fake news.” This is a great conversation starter for your grade school kids, after a quick listen.
