I am sorry I am late with my Life is Funny Post. It's a good thing Wendy is flexible. TWSS.
On Monday I went to Walgreens to buy Easter candy that was 50% off for this Saturday's CCD class. Our last class was three weeks ago. It was way too early for an Easter party, and if I am going to give the candy a week later, isn't it reasonable that I take advantage of the discount? I picked Reese's bunnies, chocolate eggs, and some weird Brach's candy I never saw before, but was quite reasonably priced.
Then I got in line, and noticed that a new cashier had been hired. AHhhhhh!!! A newbie.... (rubbing my hands together and laughing maniacally now...)
I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do, but I new an opportunity to be odd would present itself. I was not disappointed! You know how the computer spits out coupons for random things at the end of a purchase? Well, at the end of my candy (and ONLY candy) purchase, I got a coupon with my receipt for Clairol hair coloring.
Helenatrandom: Boy, BIG BROTHER is truly here, isn't it?
Cashier: Huh?
Helenatrandom: You're computer just told me I need a dye job! I know the ladies at Church have been telling me that for months, but how does the Walgreens computer know that?
Cashier: Uuummmm....
Helenatrandom: Even my personal computer at home knows better than to get that personal!
Cashier: Well....
Unfortunately at this point the cashier stopped avoiding my eyes, looked straight into them, and then laughed. I don't know what it is about my eyes. They always give me away. Always.
Not hysterically, funny, but kinda sorta, no?

Okay, is your font getting smaller or am I going blind?
Wow. That seems like it needs a TWSS.
Maybe you should just go ahead and dye your hair. You never know who's going to be telling you next that you need it.
I would love to say something appropriate and quirky...
but I can't read your microscopic font, so I am just going to assume you were profound and say: "Good post"
Ah...that's awesome.
Walgreen's always gives me cat food coupons. Apparently I'm going to become crazy-cat lady at some point, and the government knows it.
You'll all still talk to me when that happens, right?
I think it's funny :) I like the new layout..it's pretty!
Well, if the government says you need a dye job, then the stimulus should cover the cost, right? Or they could add it to the healthcare bill. I'm sure it would fall under mental health or something.
I LOVE how you tormented the cashier - just excellent! I also LOL'd when you TWSS'd your own line (which was pretty funny, btw).
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go dye my hair.
That is just funny & I'm sure you made that cashier's day! Way to shine a light Helen. :)
Dye job? Was that the hope and change everyone was looking for?
(I crack myself up.)
