Default DS gave me a laugh today
I follow my son on twitter and facebook. He works at a high end jewelry store and posted this.

Just had a model as a client who was filling out her paperwork and knew today's date, but asked me what year it was.

I know it is a true statement. You can't make stuff like that up.

A few years ago a very well-dressed, well-coiffed young woman got out of a ve-e-e-e-ery nice car, came into the Post Office with a postcard in her hand, and asked, "How much is it to mail a postcard?"

I answered, "twenty cents."

As she was getting the two dimes out of her purse, I took out the stamp and was ready to hand it to her when she looked at me with big (blank) eyes and asked, "oh...how much for the stamp?"

I didn't know what to say. I still don't.

Had a rather impressive man in our jail once, who was used to the finer things in life. When pulled into my office for the medical entrance exam, he wanted to give me his medical card, and asked what his co pay would be for the exam. When the guard showed him to his cell, he said he would "remember him later, as his money was locked up for now." as if he was going to tip the guard like a bell boy.

HA HA My phone locked up and I had to call Verizon... of course I was given the recording that I had to call back form another phone in order to troubleshoot mine... so I called back on DH2Bs phone and then forgot my own phone number when the guy tried to pull up my account. Could not for the life of me remember my number....

It was a DUH moment. Only had this same number for over 5 years... one would think....

Well, that's understandable, Legzz. How often do you call yourself!?

I've had to ask a few people what year it is...and I can never tell you the date. I always have to look it up.

I blame the MS, but it could just be natural forgetfulness.

when I write a check at a store, I normally have to look up and say "where am i?" or else I will write Walmart on my check for a Target purchase and vs versa.

I never quickly remember my own phone number. I never call myself.
