A friend (age, late 50s) who likes to drink too much and I were talking. I happened to mention that thing where, when you turn 21, on the day of your birthday if you show your driver’s license to the bartender, you can get a free drink, and lather rinse repeat at various bars until unconsciousness.
She apparently had never heard of this and got very excited.
I had a woman co-worker at a former job that was an inch or two taller than I was. She would always refer to me as ‘shorty’. Didn’t bother me a whole lot, but it was day in and day out. Finally, when she called me that in front of 4 or 5 other workers, I said “You’re only calling me that because I have clothes on.” She turned beet red and never called me shorty again.
I’ve told this one before, but I like it, so shut up.
We were at Fleet Farm (farm & building supply place) and Mr. S was selecting a piece of trim wood for some project from the bins. He’s pretty particular, so it was taking him a while, and I wandered off to go look at something more interesting.
Finally he caught up to me, wood in hand. “Found one!” he told me proudly.
“Yes, I know. I saw the puff of white smoke.”
He cracked right up. Later he said stuff like that is why he’s with me.
