HUMORLESS

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.
