HUMORLESS
Humorless people exist
Fran Miller came into my
Store to pick up prescriptions
For his wife, Norma. He
Usually grumbled about
The price and this day
Our lights were off.
What’s the matter, Steve
Didn’t you pay your electric
Bill. That’s a great line, Fran
Did you think, it up or do you
Have writers. He turned and
Headed for the door. Frank
I said, I was just kidding. He
Kept walking and again I
Said, Frank I was just kidding.
The last thing I said to him as
He was walking out the door
Was, Frank. He never came
Back. His wife never called
To apologize for his behavior.
I never saw him again. The other
Customers who were waiting for
The electricity to come back on
Just shook their heads and laughed.
