Back in college days, I worked at a golf course and thought
I might be funny. One day there's a phone call for me,
so I go to pick it up. Being a wise guy, I said, "Ace
Mortuary - Tom speaking!" Silence at the other end.
"Hi Tom, this is Mr. McDowell (the head of the electronics
department at the college). It's funny you should mention
that, because Mr. Whitfield (the older lab technician
at the college) has died, and his wife asked if you could
be a pall bearer at the funeral."
big gulp
I accepted and carried one corner.
Mr. McD and I could laugh about it (much) later.
Sometimes doesn't pay to be a wise guy.
...WOW!!! Funny how these things happen sometimes!
Like Tweeter, I pretty much don't try to get too chatty with my clients anymore, or comment on their house or possessions... During the last fever pitched election period, I made some Pro-Obama comment to a customer, and later wandered past his home office which was adorned with autographed pics of the home owner with Reagon & both of the Bush's! LOL! (gulp).
