“Pretty soon I’ll be free of this crap,” Edward said to the guy standing in line next to him.
“Oh yeah,” the guy said. “How so?”
“I’m retiring soon,” Edward said, “and then this rat race will be over and I won’t be rushing to the airport and standing in long check-in lines and having to deal with this bullshit anymore.”
“Lucky you,” the guy said. “I can only dream about being able to ditch this hassle. So where are you headed?
“I’m on my way to Los Angeles,” Edward said.
“No kidding?” the guy said. “Me too.”
“Really? What’s taking you there?” Edward asked.
“Well,” the guy said, “I run a company that puts on beauty contests around the country and I have to screen a bunch of prospective contestants before Saturday’s pageant.”
“You mean like the Miss America pageant?”
“Kind of,” the guy said with a smile on his face. “It’s the Miss Porn America pageant. It’s little more kinky than Miss America. And why are you going there?”
“I’m surprising my granddaughter,” Edward said. “She’s a budding actress and is auditioning for some show there.”
Edward thought for a second. “Oh my,” he said.

I spent much of today with family and friends, but I wanted to get my Sunday Photo Fiction post in before I called it a day. I also squeezed in these one-word prompts: Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (free), Ragtag Daily Prompt (dream), Scotts Daily Prompt (screen), Your Daily Word Prompt (pageant).
This, That, and the Other 
Oh my indeed! Brilliant :O) x

Both are going to the same place and his grandaughter is into doing porn. But the fact that she is not embarrassed to invite her grandad, she is proud of what she does.
