Shelley: Love your stories. But do you mean meat smuggler instead of meat muggler? Muggler isn’t a word.

Hahaha, I thought it sounded catchy but definitely made no sense. Smuggler sounds a lot better! Thanks Shelley!

True Story: Several months ago we were lamenting the fact that customers don’t listen when we cashiers speak to them. To prove this point, one of the cashiers changed his greeting:

Smart Alec: “Hi, sir. May we step on your testicles today?”

Mr. Man: “That’s fine, thanks.”

Hmmm…

Thanks for sharing Becky!

    My BIL used to run a restaurant near Libert University which televangelist Jerry Falwell ran. He used to frequent the restaurant and smile and uhuhed everyone. One day he asked BIL how he was, so he told him something like his mother just died and he found out he has cancer…JF smiles real big, looks right past him and says “thats reall nice, boy.” We really should listen to what people are saying, trust me I’ve told my kids yes to things I would never had agreed to if I had been listening!

    Good one. A risky proposition to test, but sounds like it was worth it.

    This reminds me of a tale told about Abraham Lincoln. It is said that at one of those tiresome DC parties, he decided to say odd things when greeting people. One lady asked how he was, and he replied something like “I killed my mother-in-law today.” She said, “That’s nice,” and went on to the next person.

    Yes, we all could do a better job of actually listening to those around us. Perhaps the world would be a nicer place.
