How I keep it exciting.

The clerk at Trader Joe's was making chit-chat while scanning my items. He asked if I had any exciting plans tonight. I said, (and I am proud of how dead-pan I was) "Doing coke off the back of hookers."
His eyes bugged and I thought he was going to have a stroke. Attempting to maintain professional standards and not openly judging. The person behind me nearly choked on their beverage.
I smiled politely and said, "I am a pretty boring married Mother. I am joking."
The clerk said, "I know." But the tone in his voice kind of showed fear.
I just want to give customer service people good stories to share in the break room.

hahaha see if I did that, they'd just scream and accuse me of being a creepy old man (and I AM!)but they'd expect it from me. You, of course, are not a dirty old man. It's good to shake up the public from time to time.

I like to tell people I'm engaging in satanic rituals with goats. It's amazing how many people are willing to believe that.

Obviously you and I need to go grocery shopping together.

Oh I do that too, it is rather convincing when I am wearing my black trench coat!

You are my hero.

Hey you write porn.
We all have fun.

Maybe that's how I'll answer if anyone asks about my plans for the weekend. "Well, I'm going to go home and bang out about a thousand words about double penetration. Or so to speak." Heh.

Hee. You would be famous.

Tee hee :)
I'd love a customer like you, but most folk really don't know how to deal with the ones with a decent sense of humour. Pity

See I always always had a good time in customer service because of people like that.

You should add "with my husband" next time. And be ready to administer CPR. :)

Oooh good one. Will add.

I so admire you :).

It just kind of slipped out. I have been on the internet too long. It has ruined my brain.

see, i remember back when that WAS what you did on a wednesday night.

It was Thursdays and they weren't hookers. They were gentleman friends. THANK YOU MOTHER!

I created a similar sensation at a Mommy's group this morning: the conversation had turned to the artificial insemination of turkeys (don't ask) and I found myself making a reference to "turkey jerky"...

See that is how you make Mommy's group exciting.
