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. π
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.
Chrihst… Sister would never get anywhere with all of that lip balm!
so i’ll just pucker up
and say DUH!
ida never guessed…
