Humorous Smilies

[IceWizard]

*** True Story ***

Some years ago, I had several big dogs, Newfoundland ...
They got older and finally started to pass on..
My favorite (Bear) was the last one, I took him up to the woods
to bury him.

Before I left, I went to the local hardware store (Handy Dan at that time)
and went to get a shovel. This college level guy asked if I needed some help...
I couldn't resist ..

I said, "Yes, do you have shovels, I mean a good shovel. One that the handle
won't just break off easy."
He said, "Yes, they are ...."
I said, "Just show me."

He took me a few isles over and showed them to me and I went through them
checking the weight and handle strength. I picked out the fiberglass handled one and
instantly asked him if they carried the big garbage bags. The really thick kind and big.
I said, "They ones big enough to, let's say, put a person in size and thick enough
that say, fingers couldn't just poke through so easily?"

He said, "They are on .... "
I cut him off and said, "Just show me."

A couple of isles over, he showed me where they were.
I picked out a huge lawn and leaf bag, extra thick, took one out and held it
up by my side to see how big it was ... It was a big bag...

Then I asked him where the duct tape was.
He just said come with me, they're over here...

I picked up a big roll and instantly turned to him and asked,
"Do y'all carry lime? You know to cover smell?"

He said that it was on the other end of the store on isle (some number)
and he couldn't go out of his dept.

I siad, "Okay" and when I started to walk off, I turned and looked
right at him and said,
"If anybody ever asked you about this, we never had this conversation."

And went on and got the lime...
I didn't go back there till Handy Dan was sold ...

I often wondered if he ever told anyone about that day ...
