I just happened to get this in my email today. It seems appropriate to ad to this thread. I had a good chuckle over it.
-A guy shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him
around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him.
She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and
said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look
so much like my late son." He answered, "That's okay."
"I know it's silly, but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave the
store, it would make me feel so happy." She then went through the checkout,
and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Good-bye,
Mother." The little old lady waved and smiled back at him. Pleased that he
had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his
groceries
"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk. "How come so much ... I only bought
5 items." The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd pay for her
things, too."
Do not trust all little Old Ladies
