You Guys Are Slaying Me..
My SO looked over at me and asked what was so funny, as she found me rolling around on the floor laughing away with tears coming out of my eyes!
Chawbaccer: "The girl came over and asked for ID, you have to be over 21 to buy ammo at Wal-mart. By the way, my age makes me over qualified to be mistaken for under 21."
You missed your golden opportunity. About that time I would have said.. "Well thank you there young lady. Seeing you feel I might not be 21, does that mean I'm young enough then that you'll go out on a date with me?"
zahc: "I once told the checkout girl, oh I'm not gonna shoot them, I'm a collector."
I love it.
TallPine: "is this for a rifle or pistol?" "I dunno ... how do you tell the difference?"
Now that one I've got to remember.
Missouri Mule: "I made a point of telling her she'd better enter the .223 into the computer as being for a handgun. Then as she scanned in the box of .45 acp she asks Handgun right? I said nope, magazine fed, air cooled, semi-automatic sniper rifle."
I'm still laughing over that one.
You guys keep it up now. I haven't had this much fun since I last time I went into Wally World and was asked for I.D. to buy ammo. Just like "Chawbaccer", there's NO way to mistake me for being 21.. 31, 41.. or even 51! It must have been the first time the young kid had sold ammo because he grabbed what I had ordered and started toward the front registers, so I followed.
At the front register I was asked for I.D., I went into my fake stuttering and stammering mode (while my wife got that look in her eyes.. "Oh Boy, here it comes!") as I said "Y, Ya, Yah. I think I got I.D. here someplace"
.. and proceeded to pull out about 7 or 8 various state pistol permits/licenses.
Talk about a rink full of monkeys. I had 2 cash register operators, the front line supervisor AND the assisstant manager all trying to figure out how I could have so many different permits/licenses from so many different states.. and still only live in one state.
I'm standing back there watching all this happen (with a big grin on my face)
while my SO is looking at me, rolling her eyes in her head as she silently mouthed to me "Had to do it.. didn't you?"
Finally the assistant manager just threw her arms up in the air and said something to the effect of.. "Just ring up his stuff and get him out of here!" She's still probably trying to figure it all out.
