Life's peccadillos can appear to be strange. |
"I'd like a Philly Steak Sub, but no Jalapeno peppers." The lady sandwich maker reaches for the Jalapeno peppers. "No!" I interject, "I would like the Halophenol peppers though." She drops the Jalapeno and snatches the Halophenol peppers. "Is that all veggies?" she smiles. "Hmm." I look over the selections, "Black olives and lettuce." "What kind of sauce?" she smiles... I think long and hard and, "Mayonnaise!" "It will take a few minutes to cook." she walks down to the cash registrar. I follow... "Would you like a drink?" she queries. "Oh? Yes! I will have a Coca-Cola." I smile back. "Your gift card has $18.00 left." she writes the amount on the back of the card. "Here's your sandwich." she smiles. I take the Subway' sub, "It was my Christmas gift!" The Lady gives a toothy smile, "You still have $18.00 on the gift card." "I think Christmas is fun." I reply with a toothy smile. "Too bad he was crucified." I ponder in the van as I pull away. "Maybe, it was all made up? Then, no one got hurt." I put on Glen Beck, "Israeli war with Hamas could never end." "Nope, lots of folks are getting hurt." I got a delicious sub! Bob Country |
