Like a good neighbour......
The next door neighbor came by to return my pie pan and thank me for the "wonderful pumpkin pie" I made him. "I had no idea you were such an amazing cook!" We got ta chattin', ya know, an' he mentioned he was on his way to a local store to buy some caulking. The neighbour could not have been happier to suddenly be in what was apparently the beginning stages of a lovely new friendship with the guy next door that he had seriously misjudged.
We arrived, walked around, put a few items in the cart and went to check out. The guy paid for his stuff and then I paid for mine. He wanted to make a quit pit stop in the washroom and I graciously agreed to man the cart while he drained the ole lizard. Quite serendipitously there was a display of AA batteries near the washroom and I quickly threw a pack into one of his shopping bags while the clerk wasn't looking. Praise Allah that the store had no cameras.
The neighbour comes out after doin' his biz and we head toward the exit. I told him I hadda stay as I just spotted a friend I hadn't seen in years while he was in the washroom and he was gonna give me a ride back home. Told him the friend had gone to the back of the store to buy some lumber. He was kinda disappointed but said his "so long" and headed out the exit, setting off the shoplifter alarm.
Kokphuck was redder than a baboon's azz as the clerk phoned the cops. The silver bracelets never looked better on anybody than that schmuck.
