    It takes all types of friends to make the world go around. Hunt's play is funny as it is clever and with a bit of surprise at the end that will satisfy everyone who's watching.

    Oh, that's funny. Randy Hunt's funny dialogue pits Henry and Tony against each other in a war of words..."potty words" in fact. Will Tony get Henry to break, or will Henry convince Tony that his language choices are just fine? "Fiddle Faddle" is a silly-goofy time.

    Ha, this is a fantastically funny short play, I f(bleep)king love it! Having told my stepsons never to swear in the house, especially not in their mother's presence, I can totally relate to this piece, for they would say I was fricking annoying for imposing this pooey rule!
    Personally if the 'bleeps' are not quite perfectly timed that would make this play all the more funnier!
    And the last line is genius! Bleeping marvelous!
