I had all these funny witty things to say in response to your brilliant entry, and then I read what Tom wrote, and realized, I have nothing to add to that. Tom is a genius. and very intuitive.<BR/><BR/>But in your quiet rage, I would like to submit: Sometimes God gives us encounters like yours==so frustrating, simply so that the retelling makes everyone else laugh good and hard. And othertimes, he does it, so that Tom can respond well.<BR/>Bravo.<BR/>Thanks for taking one for the team.

Postal Clerk #2 is sorting mail)<BR/><BR/>Postal Clerk #1: You know, it sure does suck being stuck in a boring, repetitive, monotonous job with no real prospects and limited opportunities for advancement.<BR/><BR/>Postal Clerk #2: You’re telling me. And the customers! I swear, if I hear one more request for free packing material, I’m gonna snap.<BR/><BR/>(Enter Annoying Customer)<BR/><BR/>Annoying Customer: HAY GUYS! MY NAME’S PAMY! WHUT’S GOIN’ ON IN HERE!?<BR/><BR/>Postal Clerk #1 (under his breath): Oh God, here we go.<BR/><BR/>Annoying Customer: SO I’M LIKE TRYING TO SEND A KNIFE AND SOME STUFF...YOU KNOW? BUT I DIDN’T BRING THE CORRECT-SIZE PACKAGE TO MAIL IT IN BECAUSE REALLY, WHO HAS THE TIME? YOU GOT ANYTHING?<BR/><BR/>Postal Clerk #1 (with infinite patience): Yes ma’am, how about a mailing tube?<BR/><BR/>Annoying Customer: GEE, I GUESS THAT’LL WORK! (quizzically inspects the mailing tube, inserts knife) HAY! WAIT A MINUTE! <BR/><BR/>Postal Clerk #1: Yes?<BR/><BR/>Annoying Customer: THE KNIFE’S JUST GONNA BOUNCE AROUND IN THERE! THAT CAN’T BE GOOD! YOU GOT ANYTHING?<BR/><BR/>Postal Clerk #1: Yes ma’am, we sell bubble wrap. <BR/><BR/>Annoying Customer: SELL? WHAT? BUT...DON’TCHA HAVE NOTHING FOR FREE? <BR/><BR/>Postal Clerk #2: We sell bubble wrap.<BR/><BR/>Annoying Customer (starts destroying postal service property): OH NEVERMIND I GOT IT!<BR/><BR/>Postal Clerk #1: Ma’am, you can’t really do that.

I've wondered about it all day. "Maybe she has REALLY short hair now," I thought to myself. "Or maybe she has some kind of metabolic imbalance, I should call her and talk about it." Or, perhaps, eating only spinach would make anyone's hair grow to an insane degree?<BR/><BR/>Good to know your are not bald or diseased.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316474880093459900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174231595640473111.post-56621910629754646082008-03-15T12:10:00.000-06:002008-03-15T12:10:00.000-06:00wow, in my irritation (i now say irritation instea...wow, in my irritation (i now say irritation instead of rage, to seem more adult) i was real unclear about that pile of hair. the embarrassing truth is that those are the pigtails i lopped off in october. they have been sitting on my dresser in a ziplock bag because i hadn't gotten around to sending them off, though i dont think it typically takes childless housewives five months to make a trip to the post office two blocks from their house. sigh.<BR/><BR/>i think i will just leave the ambiguity about the hair rather than editing it. i kind of like thinking some folks may come away thinking my hair grows at a rate of two and a half inches a month! mine is more like 3/4-1 inch, which is still really fast, according to my barber :)amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07726753843952520994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174231595640473111.post-81959147761133360182008-03-15T11:42:00.000-06:002008-03-15T11:42:00.000-06:00How can a post office- a place that deals pretty m...How can a post office- a place that deals pretty much entirely in paper and such- not have a piece of paper they can legally share? <BR/><BR/>Perhaps the most extraordinary part of the story, though, is your hair. I agree it may be reaching superpower proportions. That is a lot of hair to grow in, what, a month?Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316474880093459900noreply@blogger.com
