Had a weird one while ago - I'm sittin here eating a bite (at work)
I'm only one here today (feel sorry here, please)

door eases open, and this, let's say, real citified looking young man
sticks his head in - I get up and tell him come on in, he does...

tells me "We're tryin to get to the lake"

I, without cracking a smile, say "me too"

Looked like that threw him a loop, so I smile real big and
say "you need directions? which lake?"

to which he (ducks head and looks at floor) says "bay springs"

Ok I tell him, "up here to the 4-way stop and hang a left, then
about 15-20 miles you'll see brick store on the right at Burton,
there'll be a big sign there to the right, that way...

He kept standing there looking real peculiar - asked him if
that was good enough, could he find it, he says "yeah"

We stand there and look at each other for seems like five minutes,
he leaves. I look out the door, he's gettin in a pretty nice, new little
mini-van with, I think, an older woman at the wheel.

Ya'll that know me will remember that I'm a little
slow on the uptake sometimes :D Maybe he was wantin a handout???
Who knows - but we GOT to get that gate put up!

I told a salesman
other day, "we shoot every third salesman, and the second one just left!"
He still asked me if I wanted to look at the books he had such a smokin'
hot deal on :p He tried to hand me the first one, but I'm "ON" to that trick,
you take what they poke at you, then they just keep on stacking them
up and up, all the time gettin louder and louder, and making the deal
better and better... Yah right. The last one that got that over on me,
I told him he better take his books now or he could take 'em out of the floor:D
