Desk Sergeant Richard Gough, addressing the sloth of bears waiting to use David Sheppard’s caboose, tells the assembled men to not wear condoms.

“No condoms. No pulling out,” Gough stated. “No exceptions.”

“Most of us are toxic,” one of the bears reminded Gough. “Will that be a problem?”

“That’s exactly why most of you are here,” with a laugh, Gough said. “No pulling out.”

Sheppard, waiting with his ass in the air, will be getting a lot of unwanted gifts.

“I hope you’re ready for gifts,” after entering the cell, a bear said. “You’ll be getting a lot of them.”

A drabble consists of exactly 100 words. The read time is short. Please remain with the article for at least 30 seconds. I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment, highlight anything of interest, and clap.
