New Pants
I had to buy new pants today. My work pants got a big hole in the knee and that wasn’t giving off the classiest impression. I was running short on time so I went to Target on my way to work. I walked into the store and headed for the men’s department. I found a nice pair of black pants and made my way to the fitting rooms. The lady at the counter gave me a room and I informed her of my intentions. “If things in here go good, I’ll be wearing these out the door.” After receiving an awkward look from her I closed the door and preceded to try them on. I know you’re expecting something funny at about this point, but it was rather uneventful.
The pants fit like they were made for me and I went back to the counter. “Were all good!” I told her. She informed me that she needed to get somebody to walk me to the front. “No problem” I told her. She made a page on the loud speaker and within a few minutes a teenager arrived to be my escort. I thanked the lady and David and I departed the fashions department.
I asked David, “ya busy?” He shrugged his shoulders and I told him I needed a few more things. I began selecting some of the most obscure items I could think of that I actually needed or might need in the future. Antifreeze, one apple, condoms, a family pack of mac and cheese and a magnifying glass. I assured him that I was finished and we made our way to the registers. Throughout our adventure we engaged in some small talk and eventually he said, “Bet you never been escorted through a store before.” I half chuckled and replied “Well actually…”
That story is the real story and I will post it after the trial.
