I'm in this gift shop in downtown Hell Saturday afternoon. The one next door to my favorite homemade ice cream/sandwich shop (read: the only one in Hell). I've been stopping in the gift shop a lot this month because they have the cutest Halloween decorations and I keep hoping they'll put them on sale.
So, I'm standing there.... chatting with the woman who runs the place and the bored teenage girl who was unlucky enough to work this particular Saturday....I'm kinda looking at stuff, there are a couple of other shoppers looking around too.....
The woman who runs the place (let's just call her "Psycho")
says to me: "I'll let you have whichever of those ornaments you want if you'll let me have your car."
Me: "Huh?!?!?"
Psycho:
(to the room at large) "She has the cutest car! We just love it!"
I should say that in downtown Hell, you can park right in front of the stores. That's how she knows what kind of car I have.
Me:
(kinda laughing, but meaning it): "It'd take a lot more than these ornaments for me to hand over my car."
Psycho:
(without missing a beat) "I thought of you the other night when I was watching that show
Hereos.....remember that part where the cheerleader is on the autopsy table? Yeah, that part made me think of you!"
Me: "Huh?!?!? Why? Why would that remind you of me?!?!?"
Psycho:
(to other shoppers) "She has the cutest car, y'all. Oh, don'cha love that doormat? I love it too!"
Me: "Ummmm....
why did that autopsy scene remind you of me?
Psycho: "Oh, you know. Because you work with DNA".
