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.

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

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

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"...
