My assignment is writing a lipogram excluding the letter ‘e’.
First frustration, followed by my head hurts. I lack the discipline, perhaps the vocabulary.
I would rather be at the dentist having a tooth pulled.
Inspired, I use a pair of pliers to excise the ‘e’ key from my keyboard.

Barry I thought that was a clever story! I think we forget, sometimes, that it is supposed to be a STORY. First I had to look up lipogram, so I learned something too. There is something fascinating about writing 50 word stories. Let us continue.
Thank you so much Catherine. Sorry to make you work for the meaning of the title.
