Do I See You Too? Would You Want To Know?

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood [whistles]. Have you ever wondered why some people look like they are about to explode? Uncomfortable? Me either...well, except for this one guy that I see from time to time. I don't know him, but I run into him at the same local grocery almost weekly.

He's always red faced and sweaty and appears to tremble when he's standing at the checkout. I saw him again yesterday too. This time we both made it to the parking lot at the same time, and I asked him if he was alright. He said he was fine and then asked why.

I told him that he looked like he was in distress. This guy was very overweight...about 45 years old. He said that he had been having a "little" problem with his blood pressure and that he was diabetic. I thought, "Fuck this dude. He may croak as we speak."

Early this morning I went back to the grocery to pick up a couple of items I had forgotten as usual. An assistant manager asked me if I knew Tom D. I said "Nope." He said he had seen me talking to him yesterday and wanted to let me know that he died. Seems he had returned to the store too.

He dropped dead before making it back inside. Probably forgot his Gatorade, cherry cheesecake and Ben and Jerry's.

Here's my point. Apparently, I see dead people. For a small fee I will look into your future. Who knows? With any luck I just may see you too. Have a great day because...

...It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood [whistles].

Wow that's creepy. Do me a favor and don't tell me if you think I'm about to drop dead. I prefer surprises

Holy crap! Spooky. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass - I mean, I hope I won't pass. Stay away from me!

That's just WRONG...now why am I laughing? ;)

Ann: I think you're okay for now, but I can't guarantee it. Good luck with that dropping dead thing.

Don said...

thinkinfyou: Thanks for calling me a man.

Don said...

Me-Me King: Maybe I can save you from a fourth husband. You know...if I can see him.

Don said...

Lori@NotAlwaysCharming: Why are you laughing you ask? Perhaps because, as you say, you're not always charming. That's cool. I never am. I'm a slug in a world of sunny days and salt.

Uh oh! Do me a favor and don't ever look at me. I don' need to know.

Don, why do I not see a future in your prescience? I think you may see people avoiding you.

Don said...

Buggys: I had a dream the other night with somebody named Buggy in it. You may be up shit creek.

Don said...

ettarose: Oh, you mean like you [shrugs]?

Hey, Don. My wife's doing her Christmas baking. She just got done baking gingerbread men. I see bread people. (hahahahaha)

Don said...

nonamedufus: Rhyme time huh? Well, chances are if I saw them they'd go stale overnight.

How's it going?

I like your site, it's hilarious. I have a humor blog as well and I'd like to exchange links with you. We need to spread some traffic around.
