The Greatest Pretzel Story Ever Told

About six years ago I'm at the Mall looking for the perfect Christmas gift for my wife (This Mall happened to be the only one around with an Orange Julius) when I decided I needed a break, so I go up to one of those Aunt Annie's pretzel places and order up one of the fresh hot soft pretzels. I love these pretzels more than my wife and yet I don't have to buy the pretzel anything for Christmas.

But I digress.

So anyhow I give the gal at the pretzel place $5 for a $2 pretzel and start to walk away. The gal shouts out "Sir...you forgot your change!"....I turn back and just say 'Keep it." I kinda feel good about tipping a counter person at Christmas and walk on to finish my shopping.

About twenty minutes later I realize I gave her a $100 bill and not a $5 bill.

Merry Christmas.

  4. Accidental or not, it's a great story and you probably made her Christmas.

    Doesn't change your retard status, though, just to be clear.
