FINGER LICKIN GOOD
I stopped by Wendy's today at the drive through. I asked for an order of finger chicken nuggets. The order taker said, " I'm sorry but only the chili comes with fingers."

Nazis in the Post Office
I asked this lady to describe how the postal clerk treated her. She said he was just like the "Soup Nazi" in the Jerry Seinfeld show. I cracked up and we both had a good laugh.

Me Thinks You Stinketh
I recently had to have a cast put on my foot again. I was suppossed to have it changed in a week because by that time it would start to smell quite stinky. I asked my manager if I could be a few minutes late while I was getting back from having my cast changed. She refused the request saying that we were too busy and scheduling wouldn't let me have the time off. I decided to wait until my day off the next week.
I went to work for two days and my manager made a big deal out of pulling me into the conference room and told me she was sending me home because my cast smell was upsetting those in surrounding cubicals and not to come back till I got rid of the smell. I got permission to use vacation pay for my absences and went home. I may come back after two days off. They couldn't afford to have me off for 10 minutes but they did without me for two days. Go figure

Sound Canyons
Lately I couldn't help noticing that all the freeways and major streets are begining to be lined with sound barrier walls. This is a bad deal for us drivers because everywhere you go it is like driving in a roofless tunnel. The view has been taken away and it is like Martha Stewart being in prison with a car instead of a soap on a rope. Why should the rights of a motorist be taken away because people who built their houses next to a busy street started to complain about the sound. Wouldn't quiet electric cars be a better solution?

Study in Black
Sign of Spring
One of the new signs of Spring is that the side walk in front of the building at work is full of people pacing back and forth talking on their cell phones. The good news is that one can eat their lunch in the lunch room without having to listen to the "cell phone yellers."
On the way home a guy jammed on his brakes in front of me on purpose as I was trying to turn left in front of oncoming traffic. I followed him into his apartment complex and pulled behind his car and asked him when he got out of his car why he slammed on his brakes like that. He admitted doing it so I called him a butthead and told him to grow up. He then called me an AH who needed to learn how to drive.
