This is my response to the Carrot Ranch’s 99-word challenge for this month about ‘wife-carrying’.
Mick picked his way carefully along the narrow track. As he reached Devil’s Elbow Cave, he planned to lay his heavy load down and take a rest. But before he could do that a man and a woman emerged from the cave. The man said “We’ll just relieve you of that burden, Mick.” Mick heard the click of the switchblade and saw the knife in the woman’s hand.
Seemingly acquiescent, Mick rolled the pack off his back, tore the top flap open and out stepped a woman holding a shotgun.
“You call that a wife? This is a wife.”

Nice! I got a laugh out of that, and you get bonus points for the Crocodile Dundee reference.

Glad you got it. Of course Crocodile Dundee’s real name is Mick Dundee, Mick being the usual Australian shortening of Michael (hence that other Aussie expression ‘taking the Michael’).
