Eat your heart out, Mr. Rogers!

I have the most hilarious neighbors on the face of the earth!  Yesterday I posted this status update on FaceBook:

I was telling my neighbor "B" last night how I ended up with a package of deli ham in my grocery bag yesterday. It must have been from the customer before me at the grocery store. She said "And you think you're ethically obligated to return the ham?".  I said "Heck no, I'm asking if you think it's still safe to eat!". Her idea of me is obviously way more noble than the reality of me.

Soon, neighbor "K" posted this update:

Bought a package of deli ham at a local grocery store last night, but they forgot to put it In my bag - probably ended up in the bag of the person behind me. Oh well, people are good. Someone will probably return it.

Followed by an update from neighbor "B":

My neighbor Lisa was nice enough to bring me over a ham sandwich...she keeps asking me how it is.

Say "Cheese"!

I am a wannabe photographer.  Recently, I took a photography course through the county and showed up at the local high school for my first class.  As the teacher gave his intro and described what we'd be learning, I noticed a woman looking at me from across the classroom and I could tell she was trying to figure out why I looked familiar.  During the break I walked up to her and said "Hi!  You have no idea how you know me, do you?"  And she said "You look so familiar but, I'm sorry, I just can't place you."  I said "Maybe this will help..."

I hopped up on the tall metal stool, put both feet up on the table and said "...how about now?"  She burst out laughing when she realized that she was my OB/GYN and had delivered my last child a few years ago.

I guess I know who to call when I need pictures taken for my memoir entitled "Looking Inside Myself".
