Thought I'd share an interesting encounter I had yesterday. I stopped by a very busy but great little coffee drive through kiosk, as I approached the window the barista recognized me and asked if I wanted the usual. I responded yes and I would like a slice of banana nut bread if it was fresh. As she turned around to retrieve the banana nut bread, it was a apparent that she was wearing a breast cancer awareness/ support tee shirt, black with pink lettering.

Her back was to me I read the slogan on the back of her tee shirt which said, " some are real some are fake, some are big some are small, save them all" As I was processing this information she had two slices of banana nut bread slices in each hand and she then said to me " would you like to squeeze them for freshness". My mind obviously was still processing other information and I burst out laughing to her amazement. She inquired what was so amusing? Not to have her think I was perverted, I asked her to have her other female co worker read the back of the shirt and have her repeat the same question about squeezing them for freshness. Together they had one of those "Ah Ha " moments and both burst out in uncontrollable laughter. I thanked her for the latte, treats, and laughter then left a hefty cancer donation, and went on my way.

Although this was a lighter moment I support breast cancer awareness and cure.

But, did you squeeze them for freshness?

Got all excited today. I got to use My 3.5 Xm Slicer this morning during an arrest. We were assisted by some US Marshals and our Defendant was hiding in a tent in the woods behind his house. After several verbal commands, the suspect refused to unzip the front of the tent, so I whipped out my Xm(Old Faithful) and sliced open the back of the tent. Suspect apprehended ;) One of the Us Marshals had never seen an Xm-18 in person, so he checked it out and asked a lot of questions about the knife and the maker. Have a feeling he is going to buy one soon. Sorry had to share, was all excited I got to use my slicer during an arrest ;)
 
^ That is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing that story. I am so jealous. The only thing my XM has done today is cut a few zip ties while unboxing my daughters my little pony. Haha.
 
There is never a need to apologize for sharing a real life experience with us...I enjoy reading every one of them.

Good on ya for sharing the know that is XMs with the Marshal. Likely he buys one and his buddies will follow.
 
My motto is simple, " Always carry an XM AND Save the B00bies" ..... Both are among my favorite things in Life.

Quite possible.
My sons came home from a charity tournament last summer wearing "Pink" t-shirts proudly proclaiming...
"Save the B00Bies" on their backs.
Walked right by their Mom, "Hi Mom".
I reply, " Just hold on a minute there Gentlemen, what the hell are you wearing?"
"What"
"Don't what me, you know exactly what what I am referring to, Now What is going on?
"We were raising money for breast cancer awareness and find a cure."
"OK and whats with the slogan?" (these conversations tend to drag on, I wasn't texting/googling/twitting,facebooking or skyping any of this so, getting a straight answer is painful sometimes)
"Sister knows about it"
I say, "Sister Immaculata (that's her name, really) knows about Save the boobies and she was ok with that?
"Yes"
"Give me her cell phone number, I'm texting her now" (yes, Nuns now have cell phones and text message even ones named Sister Immaculata)
"Sister it's Pat and Vinces Dad, were you aware of the slogan on the backs of their t-shirts?"
response: "Oh yes, the whole team wore them, aren't they adoreable?"
Thank you Sister, God bless.
"Ok you two, get out of here and don't wear those in the house in front of your Mom and Sister"
"So, I guess we shouldn't give them theirs?"
You heard me, scram.

Yikes, I am getting old.
 
Rubi, that's some funny stuff right there. Ah, how things change.. not always for the better. Actually, I resist change a lot of times..
 
I'm very much pro on the boobies and save/cure campaigns. That's about all I have to say about the topic. For more information image search can be your friend.:)

Funny post, Rubi.
 
Humor for today:
Not sure if I can make this funny in a story but... I imagine my reaction was funny.
Lunch time, was in the mood for Chinese (Food;)) so, I drive over to the Giant (sad but true, best chinese food around here is at the grocery store) anyway... as usual I drive in and scout out a safe parking spot away from crazy kids and rocketing shopping carts.
I parked next to this Ford (passenger side) nobody seems to get out of that side much these days unless your loading/unloading your inflateable doll for the HOV lane. That was a joke, I live in the Country. Anyway.
I notice a hand made wooden ramp looking thing screwed to this guys dashboard (still have no idea what that was all about) but it drew me close to have a look Holy Crap!!:eek: You ever seen the show "Hoarders"? the film crew was buried in this guys car!
FULL to the door sill/window bottom front and back with every imagineable piece of crap and garbage... there was even $10 and $20 bills laying exposed in the filth. There was a half a sandwich stuck to the rear bumper!
I go back to look closer at the ramp/rocket launcher/doo-dad thing screwed to the dash board and what pops up out of the passenger footwell and jumps up onto what would have been the seat if it was ever exposed to the light again? a frigging
Mouse. :eek:
Jeezus! I jumped back.... those of you who have been around here for awhile know me and meese have a history.
I thought I had been "baited" and was about to be hit, gangland by "HitMouse".
He looked at me - I looked back, one of us made a squeaking noise and he ran back under a 1999 issue of National Geographic !
Craziest thing I ever saw. I still went and got my lunch wondering the whole entire time different scenarios where this car would prove ... problematic; Police stop it and look in, it goes for an inspection and the mechanic has to actually "get in",
Stop for a hitchhiker and say "Hop in".
Wow!
 
Too funny Rubi, sure hope he wasn't delivering meats to that Chinese Resturant ! Amazing how people live, never see that in the animal kingdom.
 
Wow! Just when you thought you'd seen it all....

FO, the funny thing about chinese restaurants is that the get the most food violations out of the styles of restaurants a health inspector was telling me. So that wouldn't surprise me if he was delivering the meat to that place....
