We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'it's open!' His reply: 'I know, I already got that side. '

I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.He said, 'NO, it's not.' Four is larger than two.'We haven't used Sears repair since.

I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.She sighed and went to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my request.
> > > I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but we could not do that kind of thing.'The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.

Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.

Tami and I went to Starbucks and the girl asked for my name. I said "Call me Ishmael" She said.."I don't know how to spell that".....I said "T H A T". .Go for the obvious if the subtle doesn't work.

Pulled up to the drive through at Taco Bell the cheerful girls voice asked what I would like to order. I said that I would like a bakers dozen of regular tacos and that would be all. After a long pause she came back on "Is that like ten?" :lol: :lol:

That was like me telling a customer that I evicted Mickey, Minnie and the kids from his mower's engine. He had just a plain look on his face. I had to say Mouse.

Btw none survived the gallant at my place. Every one was eaten by the yardbirds.

These things do make me wonder how our offspring are going to survive when we are gone.

They are the chickens here not people; although, I have seen articles on the British and other places eating large rats.

I also have a couple Emus that sallow whole Bluegill perch that are four inches height, I had fence them off from the fruit orchard as they were swallowing whole medium size peaches.
