Me: I have a Roundup Multi Purpose Sprayer that is defective.
Customer Rep: Ma’am, we’ll need the exact name of the item. Do you have the box?
Me: No, but it’s the Roundup Multi Purpose Sprayer.
Customer Rep: Ma’am, we’ll need the box so we can have the exact name of the product.
Me: Hold on. I’ll run out to my garage and get the box. [Long pause … ]

In some quarters, bookstores may be considered dinosaurs, but odd customers are evergreen, as these requests to bookstore clerks prove.
"Can you tell me who the author of Shakespeare is?"

"What type of pie is Herman’s?" I asked the waiter.

"Because Herman called in to reserve it."

Good morning everyboomie.
I hope you've all had a great Easter weekend.
My weekend starts today. Not exactly sure what I'll be doing though. With our wind we've been having, and our wild temperature swings, I've just had a full blown sinus infection and a sore throat move in on me.
They came with about a weeks worth of luggage.
I'd give you all three guesses as to what I would rather be doing today.................and the first two don't count.
I'm going to add that to the list of things I hate.
I hate growing old, and I hate being sick.
Being old AND sick is a huge pet peeve. HUGE!
If I don't make it through the night, have a happy day everyone.
