Skimming doesn't begin to describe it, Cathy.

Just one story I later heard: Some friends had taken three lambs to that place. Got a phone call to come pick up their meat. While they stood there, watching him package some of the scraniest, nastiest looking lamb in the world, their 7 year old daugter wandered in the back. She came in yelling, "mommy, mommy, Flopsy is out back."

Sure enough, he had their animals in a pen, and trying to pass off this crap as theirs.

A gonif of the first order!

I Hope They Reported That Creep! People Like That Need To Be Closed Down, It's No Different Than A Jeweler Who Would Swap Out A Really Crappy Diamond For A Good One When All You Did Was Bring Your Ring In To Get A Few Prongs Tightened Up!!! I Guess There Are Dishonest Types In Every Occupation, But Who Would Ever Suspect A Butcher - Damn!

Aren't You Glad You Learned To Do Your Own Butchering?!!!

I always try counting to ten when I get behind those ladies who wait til they get all rung up at the register before even getting out their checkbook and balance their account before moving their butt. Been behind more than one old man who holds up line to put in a wad of tobacco or light a cig in a non smoking store before moving on out of line. They never say anything to them cause they figure they are leaving. We have two smaller grocery stores here in town and you have to watch your step in front of the place cause all of the old men spit out wads of tobacco before going inside. Its extra gross in the summer with flies.

I did meet a nice older lady at the store about a week ago. She had like 15 bags of flour in her cart and I was behind her. I started helping her unload them and commented she must bake alot. We struck up conversation and she invited me to come to her house sometime and she would teach me her biscuit recipe. She lives right on the way to my father in laws. She was telling me she breeds yorkies on the side. She was delightful.
One lady told me it was awful when you get her age and have to make a list before going to the store. I said its worse when you make the list and forget it before you leave the house like me.

But anyway: Every once in a while it is fun to pull up old threads just to re-read them. This one was one of my all-time favorites:D I especially loved Janie's last line on the previous post: Quote "I said its worse when you make the list and forget it before you leave the house like me."

That one really cracked me up Janie!!!

I was fueling up one morning at about 5:30 when the tanker pulls in to fill the underground gas tanks. I was talking to the attendant. All of a sudden the attendant yells to the driver of the tanker about where he had run into a herd of deer. The attendant is pointing to the top of the rig and the cat walk on top of the tanker. The driver must have been going at a really good clip because he had 3 deer that had flown over the front of his truck through the air and they tangled in the catwalk. 2 were still thrashing around.

A friend of my wife comes bye one morning. She drives a little Suzuki jeep. She asks if I can check it for her because it's making a real load noise as she is driving down the road.
I went out and was looking underneath it as I walked up to it. She had obviously backed out of her driveway and ran over a garbage can. I couldn't figure out how the can could be up by the front bumper with the opening facing the front. She drove the 10 some odd miles to our house with it under her vehicle. To this day I still bust her chops about her road kill collection device.
