"Carl's Lounge" (Off-Topic Discussion, Traditional Knife "Tales & Vignettes")

I went to Costco yesterday, and got a double dose of soul-flattering unction.
On the way in, the gatekeeper asked me if I was here for senior hour, like she didn't believe it. On the way out, the other gatekeeper said, "Did she talk to you about senior hours?" I may have looked confused (that never happens) because her anaphor had no antecedent. So she explained it to me.
Anyway, I told her my age, she apologized, I said I love it when that happens, and she said,'You don't look more than twenty". Which would have been a third dose of flattering unction, except the way she patted my arm said, "Run along now, dear, and enjoy your dotage somewhere else".

Brilliant story Jer, I can relate!

It’s like the IT guy at work says: “The problem appears to be somewhere between the chair and the keyboard”

Also called an "ID Ten T" error.

Just realized how perfect of a Santa Clause you make! Hope all went well with the surgery and wish for fast recovery!

 

[JohnDF]

Yeah! Who wouldn't like a Santa Clause that passed out pocket knives.

It wasn't quite long enough to sell for a wig, Jack!!
The barber likes it, because he just buzzes it like a class-A
Army haircut - over in seconds!!

Charlie, you look a little surprised in the second photo, maybe the barber took a little more than you were expecting?

What happens when you drop your nice pocketknife on the ground? If it's a Douk-Douk I just lean over and take a picture before I pick it up. No harm, no foul!
