Overheard

Post by robinson46176 »

We were in our favorite eating place today (nice Chinese buffet just down the road) and overheard part of a conversation of the 5 folks at the next table. You know how you just hear part of it when one or two of the group start getting wound up and start using their cell phone voice.
Anyway, the first thing I heard was "Black & Decker" then the guy and his wife debating whether there were 6 or 8 stitches... :D
I didn't hear it but there had to be a story there. :)

Might be either a scary story or, hopefully not, a horror story.

6 or 8 stitches is merely 'scarey'!

I got 12 in Dec from a coffee mug!

6 or eight feet deep is 'horror'.:eek:

It was their 25th anniversary, and when he came home, to a well planned carefully prepared special dinner, with a fully set table using the best silver from their wedding, he gave her the box he had just purchased on the way home. She opened it with great expectation to find a BLACK AND DECKER TOASTER. He was lucky to only need stitches.:D :D
