Please Step to the Side

Doinking with a little insomnia tonight …

It’s been a while since I’ve got the pleasure of such fun …

No biggee. 🙂

So I’m going to try and get caught up on my e-mail … I’ve fallen behind again. Gene and Susan are next up on the queue … actually, Susan is taking major league cuts … I promise I’ll get caught up with all by the end of the week !!

Though I’m sorely tempted to pester Robin at work first … hmmmmmm.

Anyways … I go through a lot of metal detectors in my line of work …

Practically all courthouses and definitely all jails.

And I’m pretty good at it … I know how to empty my pockets quickly, pre-toss things in my briefcase … whatever I need to do to get throught the detector quickly and on my way …

I rarely get beeeeped.

But yesterday I got beeeeeped severely and repeatedly.

I had nothing that I thought would do it … phone, off; super power pen, removed; wallet, discarded; keys, left in my door at the office; Palm-os device, emptied from pocket; change, yes I am, oh … that? no, I have none.

But I still kept beeeeeping.

So Gaylord had to take the wand and move it over me …

Left nipple … nope.

Belt buckle … nope.

Now at this point … I confess … I was wondering … geezuz … did I forget to remove something … a necklace … I wasn’t wearing that stupid girdle contraptioooon after the liposcution … but was there anything girl that I had on that might be causing this …

When all of the sudden … they located the source of the beeeeeep.

My front right pocket.

Carmex … not the type in the little jar …

But in the plastic tube dispenser.

“My lip balm caused it?”

“Yes, chap stick sets it off all the time.”

Now that’s something I didn’t know.

And not sure I believe.

I think I’m going to check that out.
