• Ugh! New job keeping me busy...but here's a little bit of revelation for you. Perhaps some of you have shared this moment with me and didn't even know it.

  
  

  You ever get the feeling that your sense of humor is wasted on most? You know the feeling, something said at just the right time that strikes you as FAR funnier than those around you...example? Sure, why not.

  
  

  I'm standing in line..no, check that. I'm checking out at a Randall's on my way home from work. I only have about 4 items, so the checker rings them up and just as I'm swiping my ATM card, someone must have knocked a reciever off of one of the phones while it was activated for the PA system, because this loud screeching tone began to drown out even the considerable amount of supermarket white noise so present in our modern shopping facilities.

  
  

  Someone behind me, probably with fingers in thier ears though that's just a guess because I never turned around, exclaims 'What's that!?'

  
  

  Now, less like Fozzy Bear, more like...hmmm...Bob Newhart, while keying in my PIN, not even looking up, serious as a Vulcan with Klingon version of the clap (I know, geek alert...) "A garage band fire alarm." <hit enter for end of PIN>

  
  

  Nothing..not a grin, not a groan...nothing. From anyone within earshot. Ah well, at least my humor isn't lost on me...that's a start right?

  
  

  ...or could it have been the spray cheese, tampons, ant killer and plastic party whistles in my bag.

  
  

  Nah.
