Sounds like it worked out for the best as it got them out of your hair

Their name was floated last week as a potential candidate for a leadership role I have open. That's gonna be a "no" from me, dawg.
 
I once meant to send out a potluck invitation to my department. I accidentally sent it to the whole company, and the next thing I knew, I was organizing a huge Cinqo de Mayo potluck and the CEO thought it was such a good idea that he contributed a bit of catering.

I was a new hire to the company at the time...
 
We were having an Easter sunrise service at the overlook.
It was still dark outside.
As my family and I were sitting on one of the benches waiting for people to show up, a man and two women walked down the path which is a little steep and uneven.
I turned on my flashlight and said something like - “Here this will help y’all see better.”
The man was carrying this rod and I realized he was blind.

Oh, the other day I was asking a couple if they wanted a hand with loading their vehicle and then I noticed that he didn't have one.

"Help! The dog is chasing a dead cow!"

Loudly, as my DH was on the phone with his boss.




Well. He was.


The cow was being dragged at a high rate of speed down the dirt road behind a pickup, probably on its way to the local dump. I was afraid the dog might run out in front of the truck and get hit. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Here's another one.

"Hi. We came to borrow your fee-fie- fiddly-eye-oh banjo!"

Oops I got to giggling and accidentally hit Post.

I blame the ex-DH for that one. When doing sheetrock work, there is a tool one needs called a banjo. It holds a roll of sheetrock tape and some gloppy material called "mud," which I'm sure has another name but it escapes me at the moment. You use this tool to tape between panels of sheetrock and as the mud dries it fills in and hides the gaps. You do it in layers, because the mud shrinks as it dries. Anyway, DH had a side job to do and he needed to borrow his boss's banjo. But he told ME the thing was called a fee-fie- fiddly, etc., banjo, pulling my leg a little. I quizzed him about this, thinking, surely not, but he's the oldest of six and knows how to keep a straight face when pulling a prank. So I believed him (we hadn't been married very long). Well, we got to the boss's house, and the man came out and the two of them chewed the fat for a while and I got impatient. So I leaned over and said to the guy, with a straight face of course because I didn't know any better, "We're here to borrow your fee-fie- fiddly-eye-oh banjo." The guy looked at DH, turned around and went in his house. And left us sitting out there for, like, 45 minutes. Finally DH went in, stayed a few minutes and came back out with the tool.

He never did set me straight. That poor man is probably still in his house crying.
