For Don
Every Easter we would get together so the little ones could hunt for Easter Eggs. We would also have a kite flying contest. My brother-in-law Don, loved flying kites. He always had to have the best kite, and the most string. He would even have a "back up" kite in case his landed in a tree or flew away. Every time we fly a kite, I think about Don.

A Little On The Blooper Side _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge? To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know? He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask." Happened in Birmingham, AL. __________________________________________________ The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!" She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS. __________________________________________________ At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker who was leaving the company due to downsizing, our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a bunch at Texas Instruments. ___________________________________________________ I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office no less. ____________________________________________________ When
my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car,
we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the
service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the
driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I
instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was
unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "it's
open!" To which he replied, "I know - I already got that
side." This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS! |
