Scenes From A Kitchen Store

It plays out like this:

(tall, older man comes into store and approaches the counter)

"Good afternoon, how can I help you?"

"Yes, I was wondering if you stock......."
(at this point, the man's voice trails off for a moment, as if he'd lost his train of thought)

"No, not anymore, ever since the whole restraining order thing"
(with the play on words girl realizes what she's said is SO unprofessional, she gasps and actually BLUSHES)

"Oh, I am SO sorry, sometimes I should think before opening my mouth"
(girl is falling all over herself trying to find a way to diffuse what could become a very awkward moment)

(man is laughing hard now)

"No no no, don't be sorry, I like that quick wit--you just made my day".

(still laughing, man buys a set of glasses with a carafe. The good ones. Bormioli. Made in Italy. Hand blown.)


And that's one I can take credit for.

But I really do wish I'd written the cougar joke.....

I Wish I Could Take Credit For This.....

....but I can't. It's too good not to share so here it is:

A cougar attacked a bicyclist today. Local Police are combing area bars looking for the assailant.
