It's Double Nickles For The Birthday Boy!
Happy Birthday Bill!
Double Nickles: The Big 55! And was he ever excited. He now can shop at Eagle Quality on Senior Discount Day, (every Thursday) for a 10% discount. Here he is perusing his first adds…..
As soon as I returned from my trip south I called Eagle Quality and talked to supervisor Janessa to let her know what a big deal this was for Bill. She jumped right on board and created “Eligibility Requirements” for being “allowed” to shop discount Thursdays.
As soon as Bill left to do the shopping, I jumped on my bike and headed over to give the check out clerks the heads up. When Bill came through the line they were to act like there was a problem. Whether he was a “legitimate” senior. The guy working the isle that Bill went through was great. He called the supervisor and she came over with the official guidelines that he had to read and sign in order to become an “official” senior discount customer. It was at about the third clause when he realized he’d been had…..
Janessa was great humoring my quirky idea of a gag.
Here’s a copy of the “official” guidelines. One of them was:
“Your wife will know you’re a senior citizen when she wakes up to find you sitting in your bathrobe out on the deck with the pellet gun in your lap waiting to lay into those pesky squirrels raiding the bird feeder.
Happy Birthday Billy! I love you!
