Sniff Sniff


Home Depot
La Crescenta

I was buying a broken sprinkler for the lawn and was already in line to pay for it when the clerk behind the counter said, “Brandon (customer assistant) please go to the plants section. There is a dead rat for you.” It sounded really funny but the clerk wasn’t joking nor was Brandon taking it in jest. “How can I find it?” He asked annoyed. She replied, “Use your nose.”

Boxes & Lights


Foothill Blvd
La Crescenta

I raced for the Chevy truck when the lights turned red. Luckily at the time, there weren’t many cars to let me ease beside it on the right lane. “You dropped a box!” the window misted as my voice echoed inside the car. They felt my stare so they rolled down a window. I did too. They were obviously on the way to a storage facility nearby. I told them a box fell a couple of intersections behind. After the thank yous and pleasantries and where are you from, yadda yadda yadda the cars behind us honked! Green light’s on!

Suzie

Dollar Store
Foothill Blvd

Every time you’re at the counter, the counter boy or girl will (always) say. “Hi, how are you?" or "How's it goin?” The reply will (always) be, “I’m good, and you?” “I’m good.” The customer replies then look away. End of conversation. Boring! So, I used a different tack at a Dollar Store nearby: “Hi, how are you….” the counter girl said without looking. I replied, “Oh, hi Suzie.” She looked at me and asked, “Have we met before, how’d you know my name?” I said, “It’s at your pin. It say’s, Hi I’m Suzie….”

Roasted!

Mount Olive Party
La Crescenta, California

Bulgarian Evo said, “My favorite food is Cheverme, an entire lamb roasted on a spit.” I said, “My favorite food is Lechon, an entire pig roasted on a spit!” The story goes way back in China when a man lost his house to fire. As he cried over his misfortune he noticed a tasty smell coming from something red smoldering on the ground - the crunchy skin of a roast pig! To commemorate this eventful discovery, he burned his house every year, with some pigs of course…. Evo said, “But lamb is better”. I said. “Pig.” “Lamb!” “Pig!” “Lamb!”

Parking Slot

Foothill Boulevard
La Crescenta

A cart was blocking half of the way in, when an elderly came out of the car beside the parking slot and took it away. She leaned towards me and said, “An old woman left it there.” I said, It’s all right, I understand.” She went back to her car, backed away and left. What a gracious old lady, I thought to myself. Then I brought the cart back in the store. “She didn’t get away with it, did she? The parking clerk said. “What do you mean?” I asked. “Well, she was the one who left the cart there…..”
