Mildred had time on her hands, the sunset cruise of the islands surrounding the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa didn’t began for a few more hours. Surely one Long Island Iced Tea wouldn’t spoil her enjoyment of the cruise. the Face of Everyman had heard that kind of twisted rationale before. It was all he could do to keep from speaking up.
Billy-Bob had been practicing all morning, much to the perturbation of the Face of Everyman. Billy-Bob had entered the 4th of July watermelon spitting contest at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa holiday festival. He had his eye on the National Championship.
Joe Bob always got the hiccups when he knocked back a shot of Tequila with jalapeno flavored dried meal worms. the Face of Everyman had tried to warn him. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa meal worm hatchery had developed a really hot variety. It ranked near the Carolina Reaper on the Scoville Scale.
Aubrey knew that he had one too many Raspberry Nastoikis but he was sure that he could make it back to the roost before sundown. Seeing his state, the Face of Everyman offered to let him stay the night at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. It was the least he could do. He and Aubrey went way back.
Elrod came to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa with an appointment with the Face of Everyman. He wanted a keen assessment of his mustache; it didn’t seem to be growing in properly.

Return in three weeks if there is no improvement.
Slime-ball was withering under the unwavering glare of Miss Rowena. She wasn’t about to bathe with this jerk around. She would appeal to the Face of Everyman except that he never did what was expected of his managerial position. She might suggest that the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa recruit a new leader. “A new broom sweeps clean.” Mom used to say.
Dimitri of Flood Control was pleased to report to the Face of Everyman that the flood gates at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa had held and waters were receding. With that good news the venerable sage decided to take a well deserved nap.
Few birds thank the Face of Everyman for his efforts to give them a good diet. Max took the time to acknowledge an additional ration of suet hanging from the apple tree. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was trying during these difficult times.
The Interns from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Film School had done everything right except . . . wipe off the lens. Droplets of fog created a dim image of an otherwise excellent piece of photography. the Face of Everyman was unlikely to exhibit this blunder by eager students. He saved it as “a teaching moment.”
Archimedes personally stopped to thank the Face of Everyman for serving a superior brand of suet. Things were looking up around the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.
