Goodbye Mom


I was walking through the supermarket to pick up a few things when I noticed an old lady following me around.
Thinking nothing of it, I ignored her and continued on. Finally I went to the checkout line, but she got in front of me.
“Pardon me,” she said, “I’m sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It’s just that you look like my son, who just died recently.”
“I’m very sorry,” I said to her, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Yes,” she said, “As I’m leaving, can you say ‘Good bye, Mom?’ It would make me feel so much better.”
“Sure,” I said. An odd request, but no harm would come of it.
As the old woman was leaving, I called out, “Good Bye, Mom!”
As I stepped up to the checkout counter, I saw that my total was $1027.50.
“How can that be?” I asked, “I only purchased a few things!”
“Your mother said that you would pay for her,” said the clerk.

Thanks for telling me officer..” “Well, now, not so fast,” said the cop. “Where did you get all that money? You didn’t steal it, did you?” “Oh, no, no”, said the old lady. “You see, my yard is right next to the baseball stadium parking lot. On game days, a lot of fans come and pee through a hole in the fence, right into my garden. It used to really annoy me and kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, ‘why not make the most of it?’ So, now, on game days, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my shears. Every time some guy sticks his dingus through my fence, I surprise him, Grab hold of it a...

A Bit Crazy

I'm a little bit crazy and slightly insane... You'll never meet anyone quite like me again. I do stupid things and say crazy stuff and one things for sure one of me is enough. But my hearts made of gold and it's in the right place. SO even though I am a raving nutcase, I'm there when you need me to comfort and care. For my friends I'll always be there!
