I saw on
Facebook a long time friend and co-worker is retiring, Sybil "Honey
Pot" Bonner. Actually it was on
Anna's facebook news, not mine. One of
Anna's friends was congratulating Sybil for retiring. Her picture was included in the post.
I have not
seen her in many years and wondered several times was she still with the Postal
Service. She is also closely related to
another long time friend and Postal co-worker Herman Wigley.
Back when
Sybil, aka "Honey Pot" came to work at the Sprayberry Branch Post
Office, after I got to know her, and friends enough to kid her, I called her
"Honey Pot" and she felt complemented.
And to
further tease her I told her of the joke I saw one time a Virgil Partch (?) 's
cartoon of one lady telling another woman that her husband, retired from the
Army, loved her so much he was always calling her Honey Pot. In Army-talk Honey Pot means toilet, aka
latrine.
So, then she
started calling me "Honey Pot".
Our pet nick names for each other were Honey Pots.
