I Almost Kissed Her!
I'm in the check-out line with my ginormous box of Frosted Flakes (because it's on sale, that's why!) -- and other "necessities." The lady in front of me is putting her items on the conveyor. Seeing a bottle of wine in the mix the cashier asks for photo i.d. The woman, laughing, shows her driver's license photo and says, "I don't look like I'm 54, do I?" (What's the cashier going to say? "Well, ma'am, actually you look considerably older"?)
The woman is now on a roll. "I work out, and I run marathons. I even climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro when I was 52!"
Then she turns around and looks at me and my Frosted Flakes and says, quite seriously, "I can tell you work out too."
Made this old man's day.
