Ever have one of those days where the people around you are just plain bonkers? Cause that was my time in the outside world to a "t", hmmm could it be "tee"....Anyhoo.
To start this morning off, I was eating breakfast at our usual diner with my parents when these two ladies sat down. When the waitress brought them for their coffee two creamer containers, one with half and half the other with non fat along with figuring out which one wanted Sweet and Low and which wanted Splenda along with two waters no ice, I knew then and there that this was going to be entertaining. These women were Sally from When Harry Met Sally, the on crack version. "Yes I would like my usual. Veggie omelet, one yolk only the rest whites. No mushrooms. Cheese this time sprinkled lightly on the top. American. I would also like the fruit bowl, no watermelon and easy on the canteloupe......." My mom and I were trying to stifle our laughter so hard, especially since she is sick and would get a coughing fit from it.
I tried my best to ignore their conversation, I swear but wow such blatant stupidity was hard to ignore when so close by. Snippets of conversation assaulted my ear. "I told the rabbi to shut up so I could speak. Of course I don't call him rabbi..." "Diamonds from China are pushing prices out. And they fall out....Cheap..racist remarks...." It was terrifying and entertaining at the same time.
Then, in Target, a cashier had been taken mental hostage by some very very odd man. We were one line over, but floating in the air were phrases about Saint Peter, a man dying with his two woman, God (of course), the laywer joke of not having enough sand if you only bury a man up to his neck, and a Chzeckoslovakian wife. And the poor checker was just nodding in confusion, wide eyed.
Makes me wish I was still in improv cause damn these would make beautiful characters!
