This one comes from my percussion buddy, neighbor, and softball teammate, Jerry McClellan. Jerry writes:
ā…logging in to the Fitness Center trying to build myself up to meet the demands of Sam the slave driver/coach,Ā and my card would not work… a usual problem… āno name on fileā … ātry it againā … bleep, bleep, buzz … rejection. Whereupon the staff worker behind the counter says flauntingly, āThat’s the wrong card.ā So I suck in my pride, put away the debit card, and swipe the Sun City card and proceed to take it out on the Shoulder Press…. With my luck, now all the machines will display our balances and PIN numbers….ā
Now for something different, which I call, āBeen there, done that.ā
Ever put a cup of coffee on the roof of the car and drove off with it still up there? Or, worse yet, left a folder with lots of papers in it?
Ever walked into a room and stood there trying to remember why you came into the room?
Ever left a doggie bag in the car overnight during the summer?
Ever lose your car in the Grant Park garage or the Woodfield parking lot or the Soldier Field lot?
Ever have your cell phone take a trip in the washing machine?
Ever left groceries in the car with the trunk open in the garage and the garage door open for several hours?
Ever left the freezer door in the garage open over night?
Join the club, geezer!
Iām still waiting for one from you. I know you have āmoments.ā Send them to me at greengeezer9@comcast.net. I look forward to hearing from you.
