Uhh… thanks? I think?
So I don’t usually blog about stuff that happens at work, but this is just too good to pass up.
At one of the locations at the store, one I don’t goto too often, the manager is a retired Marine sniper. He had a problem with the speakers on his work PC and couldn’t get them to come back on. He told me that whenever I got a chance, to head over that way and fix ‘em.
So a few days ago, I cruised over there and tinkered with the speakers for a few minutes, and got them blasting music once again. As I turn to leave, he says, “Hey Eric, thanks man. You ever need someone shot, you let me know.”
Priceless.
Just for the record, I will not be redeeming this favor, evar.
One final note, he has a bumper sticker, here is the artist’s (me) dramatization of it:
FL: How much does the water in a hurricane weigh? These guys make a guess, and it’s probably more than you’d guess.
Link was interesting, but I didn’t like her conversion to elephants. I can picture a ton just find thank you very much! She didn’t even give her final calculation in tons, just elephants… not that I can’t multiply…
Could you have her shot for me special E?
That was great! Totally unexpected in a hardware store. Though, I guess his comment fits the bill of how common it is to have GA residents with guns.
I lol’ed, even in my little cubicle at work. Thanks for sharing!
i personally love “is this person kidding or not?” statements… makes me think of george michael on AD - “yeah, heh heh, heh, but, not really… right? heh”
I just thought you should know this is the best story I’ve read all day.
