Carly Spurling
Carly Spurling is a character who routinely pops up in my stories whenever I need a daytime TV host or local news reporter. I don’t even remember where the name came from.
So I just Googled the name, to see if one exists, and I found one on Facebook.
We have a mutual friend.
The world is weird.

The Ocean Hotel
Four men gather together for their 40th birthdays and deliberate on where to go. They decide they’ll go to the Ocean Hotel because all the waitresses are nice young women with plunging necklines and short skirts.
On their 50th birthdays, they decide they will go to the Ocean Hotel because the food was very nice, and they’ve still got the nice young women with plunging necklines and short skirts.
On their 60th birthdays, they decide they will go the Ocean Hotel because the food was very nice and they do concessions.
On their 70th birthdays, they decide they will go to the Ocean Hotel because the food was very nice, they do concessions and after dinner they can watch the boats out in the harbour, which is very relaxing.
On their 80th birthdays, they decide they will go to the Ocean Hotel because they’ve never been there before.
“Some people were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people dance.”
