for everyone

A few weeks ago, our son started working at the local driving range.  He mans the cash register, gives people their buckets of balls and does a bunch of other stuff.  To get to the driving range, you have to go through the club house, past the cash register and out to the range.  The reverse is true when you’re done.

Last night, so he says to us, two old ladies were leaving the course, and walk right past him.  Trying to be friendly, he waves to them and says “Have a good night!”

They keep on walking, not even acknowledging him.

As he recounts the story to my wife and I, he says “Well, I thought to myself, they must be a couple of assholes” (I loved how he just slipped that right in there, without even a pause,) “so I waved my hand again, and said slightly louder “Thanks for coming guys, have a good evening”

No response.

The guy next to our son, Alex, says “Don’t worry about it, they’re old so they’re probably senile”.  This is why I don’t hire young guys.  They’re insensitive morons.

So, even louder, our son says “Really appreciate you stopping by.  Come back real soon.”

Nothing.

The ladies put their bags down, turn around, and come up to speak with Alex.

With their hands and unintelligible words.  They’re deaf.

Our son said one of the older guys at the counter started to laugh at him, and he just had to walk away.  It had been one of those kinds of days.

Years ago, I went to visit my sister who lived in a boarding house. The place was owned by an old lady who collected antiques. My sister warned before meeting the landlady that she had a glass eye and was kind of sensitive about it - so try not to notice. So, for the next thirty agonizing minutes I tried not to look while, at the same time, figuring out which eye was fake. You couldn't help it.

Only after we left did my sister confess to messing with me. Her landlady didn't have a glass eye.

That's the kind of family I grew up with. LOL

That's funny.

At our company meeting, I was talking with someone that had this huge mole on their face. I couldn't help to think of the Austin Power's movie where Fred Savage was "Agent mole", who of course, had this huge mole on his face. It took all of my willpower not to stare at the mole and yell "moley moley mole!"

People say I look young, not that 45 is old or anything like that. I like to think that it's my ability to laugh at myself, and those aroud me, that keeps me young.

45+45+45=135, which is about equal to the number of balls in a large bucket at the driving range.

The circle of bloggyness strikes again!
