Yesterday at the hardware store
The guy said “You have to wait while the computer is warming up.”
The guy said “I been nearly twenty-five years in the hardware bidness, and I ain’t never seen it stay so cold for so long.”
The guy said “You look a lot like my daughter.”
The guy said “No matter how many extension cords you got, seems like you always need another one. ‘Specially if you got company coming.”
The guy said “She moved down to Florida where it’s warm, my daughter, and can’t seem to find her way back up here to visit her old dad.”
The guy said “Heavy duty, that’s the way to do her. I bought that same extension cord myself. Last one I’ll ever need to buy.
The guy said “She called last week, wished me a happy new year. Said it was cold there in Florida, below freezing at night. I said Florida people don’t know what cold is. I know what cold is. I know what it is.
The guy said “There we go. Computer’s ready now. That didn’t take too long, did it.”
