Prompt ….
This week’s photo prompt is provided by loniangraphics. Thank you.
Dr Desert – a renowned xerophytist, conducted a detailed ecological survey of a little known area in the depths of Sahara. He lived there for one year eleven months and 22days exactly; and discovered this particular species of cactus.
I have borrowed this excerpt from his famous interview that was aired on the Discovery channel.
J – Congratulations, Dr Desert on your great discovery.
D – Thank you.
J – What propelled you to find this rare cactus?
D – I like my whisky on rocks.
J – What will this cactus be called?
D – Cactaceae glaciem.
J – Do you plan to follow up your research?
D – Yes!
J – How?
D – I am going to genetically engineer this cactus into producing ice-cubes.

Welcome!
Ha! I like your humorous take on the photo, and the dialogue was a nice change in format 🙂
Happy that it entertained. Thank you.
Hahahaha! He wants the cactus to produce ice cubes because he likes his whiskey on rocks! LOL! Cute story, YS!!
Glad it made you laugh. Thank you, PJ.
My pleasure, YS!
hahaha! This is a novel idea , a unique take. very awesome!
🙂
Thank you for the generous comment.
Fun take on the prompt! And yes, I can see how a cactus that produces ice would be worth searching for, especially if you already have the whisky and the glass ready.
Especially if you are deep in Sahara. 🙂
Thank you for the read and appreciation.
I am sorry to inform Dr Desert that my research indicates that any ice cubes produced from this cactus will taste like cat pee.😉
This simply enhances the work of Dr Desert ….. he has to modify the cat-pee gene too. 🙂
Thanks for the interest.
Brilliantly different – love it! Except that I prefer my whisky neat. Thanks for the grin and tonic!.
Click to read my latest tale!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the read and the appreciation.
I love the doctor’s plans for his discovery. Lots of fun.
🙂
I tried to do this one differently. Thank you.
A fun read, Yarnspinnerr. Cactaceae glaciem sounds a very impressive name – and I hope Dr Desert manages to get it to produce ice cubes. I can foresee every household wanting this new cactus if he does. 🙂
Just used the botanical name for cactus family and latin for ice. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
Well, that was a surprise! Fun, too!
