Another Cold Quote For Tuesday
“Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the
yard on a cold night, she can still survive.”
Ah yes, my little chickedee. I bet half of you reading this have no idea who W. C. Fields is/was. Feel free to click on the link above to find out more.
Something about yesterday’s wind blowing thru just made it so freaking cold. I had to run out to get a key made during my lunch hour and it started to hail on me as I walked into Wal-Mart. I don’t like Wal-Mart and yesterday’s experience didn’t change my opinion. After I aimlessly wandered back and forth around Customer Service for 30 seconds, I was finally directed to the auto section. I guess you do need a key to start most cars and so I walked the 6 miles thru assorted dishes and toys and stereo cabinets and women’s clothes to the auto department/oil change area. I see the sign for keys to be made. So far so good. I even see a NASCAR branded blank key that I could have made into my very own racecar home key for only $5! Yee haw!
Only one problem. Nobody behind the counter. One customer was already waiting. Maybe it was their lunch break? I watched myself on the flat screen monitor hanging above my head and resolved to double my efforts to go on a diet. Was my backside really that big? Must be an optical illusion. As I waited for 5 more minutes, 2 more customers walked up and proceeded to wait with me. I imagined walking behind the counter and picking up the intercom phone and shouting “Code 9 Code 9 Assistance needed in the auto department STAT!” And then I remembered that I hated Wal-Mart and there was a Home Depot about a 1/2 mile a way and why am I even in this store?
Went to HD. Got the key made in the same amount of time that I wasted at Wal-Mart. Sometimes I am not a smart man, Jenny.
And no I don’t think you should throw a woman out on a cold night. At least wait until it’s above freezing.*
