Life With Cliffy
My travelling partner has taken to entertaining me with impersonations of Jack Nicholson (in As Good As It Gets) and Cliffy, from Cheers. If you know Jim you'd say...What???!! He seems like too serious to do that. Well he's really a "closet expressive" as a friend once said. Anyway, yesterday we were shopping the supermarket aisles and he starts talking like Cliffy. There was a guy stocking the bread shelves who overhead, turned his head to sneak a peak at us, smiled, looked again and laughed. I just went along with Cliffy and pretended that this was normal. What a riot?
In this same store, a Safeway, the clerks were obsessivly helpful. Can that be? Every single clerk that went by us said, "Hi how are you can I help you did you find everything you need???!!" Jeez...then when we're checking out the checker looks at the tape printout and says "thank you Mr. Wise"...and the packer...get this...says.."what is your last name?..." so I told him and he says, "Well have a great day Mrs. Weise"! I couldn't stop laughing at that one. We figured they must have had a management reorg and everyone has a new role to play!
Every day is something new, weird, wild or wonderful!
