thinking of a funny story my aunt used to tell me...she and one of her friends used to work in a pharmacy like in the 60s. Back then, they used to announce over an intercom the names of the people whose prescriptions were ready. They would get on there, in the crowded Woolworth's store/pharmacy, and say things like "Aretha Franklin, ARETHA FRANKLIN, your prescription is ready in the pharmacy"..and then they would watch and laugh at everyone looking around like 'where's Aretha?'...hilarious.

I was looking through an old phone book at my parents not too long ago from the 40's and some of the ads were pretty hillarious. Your story made me think of one for a pharmacy..."Herman's Drug Store, we have the best drugs in town!"
yeah, that is funny--best drugs in town lol. That would go over well now. The story I relayed about my aunt also always reminds me of the Laverne & Shirley episode where they're working in that diner and Laverne keeps getting on the mike saying "BETTY PICK UP" for Shirley--omg, that was so funny!! And I can always see my aunt and her friend like that on the mike.
A client just came in and his eyes have been swollen shut for a week and he can't see. The doctors can't explain it or fix it and the client is obviously freaked.
Me to him: Hey! Long time no see!

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Why is it that humans continue to test my patience ? Or is it my perception ? sigh...
