Last month I went up north for an Air Show… we got dinner at my favorite pizza place (Old Chicago Pizza, Petaluma, CA). This late 40’s male showed up who was just coming by to say hi to my friend. He sat down and starts talking about the graduation present that he bought for his daughter… he said, “I was in the store picking out her pearl necklace…” at that point everything he said become background buzz because I was trying very hard not to laugh. I made the mistake of looking at my other friend whose eyes said that he also was trying not to laugh. Let’s just say that I was kicked out of class quite a bit for my inability to control my laughter at “inappropriate” times.

I totally apologized once I got myself under control… my friend who also laughed said, “Oh well, we are all going to hell anyway!” and the man who gave his daughter a pearl necklace said, “I’m not” and got very red and offended.

Ends up he’s a chaplain.

Yeah.
