Ever wash a down comforter and it smelled like wet dog? It happens. That's how you know it's thoroughly dry!
We do a lot of down comforters at work so I wasn't surprised when we took in a down pillow. When it was dry, I took it to Amanda in Assembly.
I have to tell you this! Everyone at work has been laughing about it for a week!
I put my nose close to the pillow.
Sniiiiiffffff "Mmmm..." I exclaimed dreamily. "Smell it."
Amanda takes the pillow from me and completely buries her face in it.
She jerked back and shouted, "UGH! UGH! EWWWW! That is NASTY!!"
Hey, I didn't tell her to stick her whole face in the pillow!
She shoulda known better.
She's been harping that she'll get me back. I'll hold my breath. Wake me when I pass out!
Aw, it's all good. I'm always playing little jokes like that at work.
After a long hideous day I was pulling out a load for the next day around 2:30 pm and called Martha, the pants presser.
I nodded toward the pants I was neatly laying out. Her mouth dropped to her knees and she said in the loudest voice humanly possible, "Is that for TODAY?"
I silently nodded.
I could sense that Martha was about to quite literally explode so I smiled.
She threw a fit! "Misty!" (that's me) she laughed. I burst out in laughter, "You were about to crap your pants, Martha!"
"I was! I was!" she laughed.
I always assume that the pressers hate me most times because I bring out all the things to be pressed such as the all famous:
The Irritating I Don't Have Patience For This Stuff
and
The End of the Day, How Could You Do This To Me Stuff
and
I Just Ran Out! Don't Bring Me No More Clothes Stuff
Hey, I was a full time presser once. And even though I press now an again, I couldn't resist with Martha.
It was funny. I guess you just had to be there.
