Interesting Combo

A customer was waiting in the air conditioned office while we cleaned his car. I directed his attention to the bathroom, water cooler and the TV. He turned on the TV and surfed a bit until coming accross the Family Feud to which he exclaimed in his heavy middle eastern accent, "I love this show!"

I turned and smiled.

When a commercial came on, he looked around and spotted the Bible on the window sill. He then announced, "I like that you have the Holy Bible here. I love reading the Bible."

He then continued his wait watching the Family Feud and reading the Bible during commercials.

Fo some reason I found this combination of activities utterly amusing.

Trash

I'm curious as to why at least once a week I find pair of tennis shoes/sneakers in the trash at the car wash. What is it about washing their car or vacuuming it that suddenly makes them come to the conclusion that these shoes have out lived their usefulness and must be discarded, here and now,rather than say, donate them to Goodwill?

"Squirrel!"

The title is a reference to the movie "Up," when Doug the dog first meets them, and is talking about liking them, etc and suddely spots a "Squirrel!"

I am mentioning this now because my boss believes I resemble that remark. With each passing day, I seem to have the attention span of a butterfly.

Tonight while talking to Sugar I was in the middle of a sentance and noticed, "Ooo look I got a package!"

To which she replied, "Squirrel!"

*sigh*

How Lovely to be a Woman

NOT!! I never knew it was possible to be bloated AND dehydrated at the same time. Oh Mother Nature wha a wicked sense of humor you have.

What Caused That?

We had a customer in with marks on his hood, roof and trunk area. He wanted the inside detailed which was fine. But he asked if there was anything we could do about the marks,etc on the outside. Sadly we told him, "No." Buffing was not going to help that damage at all. So the only question left was, "What happened? What caused that?"

The answer, "Goats."

Apparently the man owns goats. And goats will eat anything and can climb on just about anything... and they did.

Father's Day Cards

I went to purchase Father's Day cards this evening and was surprised at how picked over they seemed to be already. Then I realized... Fathers are in charge of purchasing Mother's Day cards, therefore 3-4 days prior to Mother's Day there will still be a large assortment available, due to the fact that men tend to wait until the last minute. But Mothers are in charge of purchasing Father's Day cards and therefore 3-4 days prior to Father's Day your selection is greatly diminished.

Don't Drink and

Um Vaccuum? I found like a case of empty beer bottles in the trash can next to the vacs at the car wash. What's more disconcerting is that they came out of someone's car. Which would lead me to believe they were consumed in the vehicle. If this is in fact the case, it would explain why a lot of people screw up when driving through the car wash.

Perhaps we need additional signage. Or do people not realize that cars and giant car washes count as "heavy machinery" that should not be operated while under the influence?

As a completely side not I am curious as to why people choose the car wash as a place to dispose of over used/unwanted sneakers. I see at least two pairs a week when I empty the trash cans into the dumpster.
