Be Careful Where You Aim Squirt Bottles




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.
