A Funny Thing Happened.....

No James, I didn't. It's a joke that was passed along to me, but I found it rather hilarious...I'd have been the tall guy falling out from laughter...graydawg wrote:...Griff now tell me you didn't do that...
My supremely snarky comebacks only occur to me about 30 seconds AFTER the incident(s) have ended and it's too late to use them...(it's God's way of trying to protect me from foot-in-mouth disease, heh)!

I know all about the delayed comebacks, I usually get them a hour or more later though, I have been asked that question a bunch of times before, at walmart, while wrestling a 40 lb sack of purina dog chow,best I ever came up with, I have a cat that thinks hes a dog, but I will know what to say now, but my luck no one will ask me again.

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day by finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale slashed by 75 percent in the second. In the third, everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her mobile phone rang.
It was the ER doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition in the ICU.
The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible. As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever in the boutiques.
She decided to get in a couple more shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake slice, compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant. Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital.
She saw a doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's condition. The doctor glared at her and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your shopping trip, didn't you!? I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town, your husband has been languishing in pain in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it will more than likely be the last shopping trip you'll ever take! For the rest of his life he will require round-the-clock care. And he will now be your burden!"
The woman, overcome with guilt, broke down and sobbed.
Then the lady doctor began to laugh and said, "I'm just messing with you sister. He's dead. Now show me what you bought."

My FOURTH GRADE TEACHER Ms LATTIER did not think it was funny at all, and I SWEAR I did not do it. I was in the ALTER BOY ERA THEN. Who would have ever thunk that one out and I would turn into a bus dweller, and one of the few times I was innocent completely.
