At my new job we a have a general mailbox into which
people send requests for updates and changes. I am
completely serious when I tell you that today we
received the following mail.


1)There is a sing where the rotisserie chicken is
served stating that you get a 20oz soda with the
meal...but the cashers says that it 
is wrong & it should say 16oz...that's not a problem
but the cashers by the snack/entrence section have a
very nasty attitude about it.
2)Today(4/25/01) the was "Seafood Pasta Primavera" on
the menu but instead they had chicken parmesian--again
this is not the problem.  The problem is
those same damn cashers at the entrance--they charged
me for the seafood pasta which is $4.95 instead of the
chicken pamesian which is $4.95.  I explained the
situation to them but they just dont want to hear what
I have to say.  I'm really disgusted with the way the
cafateria is being run.

Frequently, I get a strip of coupons or other promotional
items from a little printer at the checkout of my local grocery.

Coupons emerge as a thank-you for purchasing a product, or
based on some other derived data.

Yesterday, after buying a couple pints of Ben & Jerry's
Ice Cream (my favorite bad-for-me snack food), I got the
following checkout coupons in sequence:

I had to go through a needle location biopsy recently.
This involves putting a 6 inch needle through a most sensitive
part of a woman's anatomy.  I had to sit there alone with
this thing pierced through my anatomy and I wondered, "Is
this how a whale feels?"  It occured to me, "I'm big, I'm 
white, I'm gay, and I have been harpooned!  That must make
me Moby Dyke!" My friends now call me "MD".
