AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!
Okay kids.....quiz time.
What is the single most effective way to push a near crazy person way over the edge
of
sanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you figured it out?
Take your time....it's a little tricky.
Okay.......give up?
Here's how:
Open up a store, like, say Sam's Club.
Fill it with good stuff.
Allow lots of people in, including some almost crazies like myself.
Right in the center of the store, place a music player.
Crank up the volume, so everyone in the place can hear it very, very clearly.
Then, play Jingle Bell Rock.
Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and....
You get the picture.
I was trying on sneakers, about 3 aisles over from the music machine. I had to try on several pairs. As the moments passed by, and the song repeated, I began to go faster, agitated, nervous, semi-frantic, hands beginning to shake....
I looked around, wondering what was happening to me...
Suddenly deb appeared, looking a little like I felt, her eyes, crazy wide...
I said, "Where is it??? Where...:
She said, it's over there, I just passed it by, I couldn't see a switch, it's up high on a shelf, THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO!!!
I said, "show me!!" " Quickly, please!!!"
It began again. I felt my resolve begin to waver as I got closer and closer to the source of the Madness...I was scared...what if I fell down, and couldn't get up, and I had to wait for the ambulance while that song played, over and over......
There it was!!!!
Unbelievable that a box that smaall could cause misery so large!
I looked it over...
it was up high!
It was out of reach!!
The song began again!!!
My heart beating near to bursting, I saw it..the cord, the electric cord...
I COULD REACH IT!
And, as I pulled that plug, and blessed silence enveloped the aisle, a woman with an astonished look on her face broke out in tears of gratitude, and gave me a huge high five.
Mission accomplished.
Please. Don't try this at home. I am still a little woozy.
YOU GET THE POINT!!

I am amazed that you didn't promptly get escorted to the door... although maybe all of the staff were also with tears of joy...
Darling...you saved my life today. And, not just my life, but the lives of countless hapless Sam's Club shoppers of all ages, races, and proclivities..
You are truly My Hero....
That was dad ...as I am sure you all know....mom
