We went to a Super Discount Warehouse type of store today.
Of course we checked out some of the free samples. At one free sample kiosk little pancake
samples were being handed out. The
pancakes were slightly bigger than a silver dollar. I think they were pushing a pancake mix. A dignified elderly lady in an electric
wheelchair was having a hard time handling the pancake and the syrup squeezer
both and keep up dignity at the same time.
A man, also elderly, who appeared to be clumsy - he acted like Rodney
Dangerfield , trying to do the gentlemanly thing said , "Here, Ma'm let me
help you with this." He gently
reached down and picked up the syrup squirt container, that looked like an
ordinary catsup squinter container, aimed it down towards the little pancake
and squeezed.
The syrup squirted in her eyes and hair.
He immediately started apologizing saying he didn't know
that it would do that. He also suggested
she go to the restroom and get a wet paper towel and wipe her face .
Then he took his shopping cart and hurried away.
A floater free sample relief clerk covered a big smirk on
her face and walked away coughing.
