So I'm driving by the local diner today and notice that they have a large sign up that states: HASH FLIPPED!!!
Is that really worthy of three exclamation points???

I'm in the center of town filling up my gas tank.
It comes to $49.00.
I give the grease monkey $60.00. Here is the conversation that followed:
GREASE MONKEY: "So you want $1.00 back?"
ME: "No...I want $11.00 back.
GREASE MONKEY: "Okay."

I was craving a lobster roll last night. I go to my new favorite lobster roll place to get one.
There are 15 empty bar stools around the bar where I plan to eat.
I order.
My food and drink get delivered.
Then lonely Joe the Bartender saunters up to me and starts talking.
I'm the only one there.
I pretend like I'm texting.
He talks some more. And more. And more.
He offers his name. I give him mine.
We are now chums. Or so he thinks.
He talks some more.
Did you know that he was once quite the hockey player?
I do.
He then shook my hand.
I don't really like shaking hands much.
But he's my chum....so I shake.
Now all I can think about is washing off Joe the Bartender's lonely germs.

Thats it.
I once accidentally tipped a cabbie $10 by asking for the wrong change. $1 instead of $11.
ReplyDeleteSo to sum up:
That's why I'm a writer/editor.
