Gettin’ DIRRTY! Not Really, I Mean, Not Even At All…

So, I don’t normally air out my dirty laundry (or clean laundry for that matter) online, however I’m making this one time exception for humor’s sake. I’m having a cholecystectomy next week.

Employee of the Month

So, there is this new guy at work..or there was this new guy at work, at least, he won’t be there for long. I’ll spare you his name, but we’ll call him No-Condom Willy for the sake of argument. You’ll understand in a minute. Well, it’s Willy’s THIRD week. He already has 3 absences [...]

When a male LP apprehends a female shoplifter they cannot [...]

Old People and Near Death Experiences

So, remember when I made fun of hill hopping teenagers? Well, it’s my moment of truth, the REAL reason I was never one of those kids. The reason is, when my brother was 16 and I was 12, he nearly killed us being one of those kids..it was a Dukes of Hazzard moment. You se,e [...]

So Aaron needed a lawn mower, so we made a trip to the Sears Appliance store near our house. My hero of the day showed himself in a light beam of grumpiness, and this is how it went down:
Young Kid: “So, this lady bought a refrigerator and had it delivered. When it was delivered she [...]
