Once upon a time Wanda and I went to the movies. We walked in to the theater that held, at the time, two people. We often do what we call "brain sucking" which is having the same thought or saying the same thing at the same time. We started talking about the movie while looking for seats. After walking up and down a few rows we settled in to seats directly in front of the only people in the theater. It was a joke, it was funny, we got up and moved after a laugh with those other people.
Saturday early afternoon Wanda and I went to see a movie. We took advantage of senior rates, five bucks, sixty two and over. The feature started at 12:10, we arrived about 11:45. We walked in to an empty theater, completely empty. We had our pick of any seat in any row. Wanda and I selected a couple of seats and sat.
We were all alone for about five minutes. Two girls came into the theater, looked around, and sat down, RIGHT BEHIND US, and they weren't kidding. I felt like I had someone breathing down my neck. Oh, I did have someone breathing down my neck. Why would someone do that? We waited a couple of minutes and moved. Just before the many trailers began another couple came in. They did not sit directly behind, or in front of, anyone.
I had to call my mail order pharmacy the other day. I usually reorder on the web site but it was down. I went through the tell us who you are and prove it menu. Then the tell us what you want and when you want it menu. OK, now on to the payment options but first, "sorry, we can not process this transaction at this time." Why didn't they start with "SORRY?" I called back and talked with a real live person.
Speaking of phone orders, I heard Wanda place one on Saturday. When she had to supply her credit card information her voice dropped to just above a whisper. I realized I do the same thing. When we had a hard wired land line we always used it for credit card transactions. Now we lower our voices.
She said, "My lunch pail."
He heard, My legs are pale.
