ERRANDS "Yes," I told the salesman, "I want that for my car. Does the number on my door Begin and end with 'R' Well, I don't know for goodness sake; I'm only on an errand My husband said to pick one up, and get an extra bearing. I don't know what the voltage is, Or which way it is mounted; I only know it looks like that, And that it's really wanted. Yes, I know the model, And the color, too, But I don't know which diapole, I'll leave that up to you." The kindly salesman shook his head, And had a little chuckle; While I felt just inches tall, And thought my knees would buckle. But that's OK I made it through, A smirk upon my face, And plans to send my hubby out For some Satin, Bras, and Lace. Joyce Guy 7/29/97Don't you hate it when you have to run an errand about which you know little or nothing then have the salesperson ask pertinent questions?
