No lie, I swear.
At 10pm tonight our doorbell rang. Now, perhaps M & were fools to answer the door at that time of night. But call us curious - because hardly anyone EVER rings the doorbell, and if it was some kid or prank I'd chew 'em out, but what if it was a neighbor in trouble? We live in a very small development, a cul-de-sac, so it's possible somebody needed help or something. Not that we'd likely be anyone's first, second or even third choice around here -- we just don't know anyone well.
But nope -- it was some guy dressed up in a full on 6 foot tall Gumby costume. Really.
And get this .....
He claims to have been selling pillows.
The deaf chick asked M "what? huh?" because that just can't be right -- but no, he says that's what the guy said, and he went off politely and quietly when we declined to buy pillows from Gumby dude at 10 o'clock in the friggin' evening.
Huh ...

A 6' tall guy dressed as Gumby selling pillows in a residential community at 10 p.m.? Hmmmm...is it possible you're still indulging in the alcoholic nightcap thing? :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! One might think that perhaps I swallowed one of Michael's percocets instead of the advil I was looking for. But no, this was not a drug induced vision.
ReplyDeleteand in retrospect .. we SOOOO should've called the cops. I mean, c'mon -- who on earth sells pillows for gawd's sake .. and why on earth would Gumby be a selling factor? But I have this feeling the local cops would also think I'd been hitting the sauce!
