How frequently does the letter "s" appear in:
I oozed into the bar looking for sympathy. “Hey Fra- you're not Franco.” Some old guy with a dead rat stuck to each cheek was behind the bar. “Where's Franco?”

Last line...story of my life, lol.
Are you sure this guy would know the correct plural of cactus? I was assuming he wouldn't...
But you're the evil editor...
This guy? I thought it was you. Unfixed. (Although he did know how to spell frijoles, so it's not like he's illiterate.
I would be a poor replacement for Franco. You forgot to close your parenthesis.
:)
Wow, Mother, you took this somewhere absolutely different.
Fun one.
Very funny. Good idea and lots of fun. BIG laughs.
Very funny — and I especially liked the rat & cactus lines...
Actually, now that I look at it, I screwed this up in a variety of ways. EE did say *I* was supposed to go into the bar. But this idea popped into my head so I kinda ran with it. What really bugs me in retrospect is that at 1 am there would probably not be a whole lot of light for Manuela to eclipse. Doh! Anyway, I'm glad I managed to give some of my fellow minions a laugh...
EE just gets more evil with every exercise, doesn't he?
