  • Looking to Laugh

    Laughter is really good medicine. I spent Saturday afternoon with saintvi finding some geocaches. We enjoyed ourselves. We found caches and were very pleased with ourselves. As we were leaving the area, there was a Halloween Store and I asked if we could stop. Of course we can. The conversation went something like this:

    Me: We need to stop to see if they have any severed limbs for Sparky's Halloween costume.
    Saintvi: What kind are you looking for?
    Me: Any kind, legs, arms, hands. Do you have one?
    Saintvi: Not on me.

    At this point I was highly tickled. I congratulated her on her quick wit and she admitted that she couldn't pass an opportunity to make a joke or pun. We proceeded into the store and looked around. The clerk with a scimitar embedded in his shoulder and a bloody scalp wound helped us find the non-zombie body parts. It was there that we found the last two arms.

    I sent the photo to Sparky to find out if it was what he was looking for. As we were walking away this exchange occurred:

    Me: I don't want to buy it until Sparky give me the OK. We can look around while I wait for him to text me back.
    Saintvi: Here let me give you a hand (as she hands me the severed limb). There are only 2 left...

    She caught me off guard and I laughed out loud. The store clerks and some customers looked our way briefly. Sparky was taking his time responding. Our attention was captured by a large display of hats that included pirate hats to Rasta hats complete with dreadlocks and of course a large selection of animal hats. You should all know that I cannot resist a good critter hat. Seeing a lop eared bunny hat I reached for it.

    Me: Oooh! Look hats!
    Saintvi: Do you want to try one on?
    Me: Yes, here hold my hand.

    Realizing what I said, we both had a good chuckle. I might have totally lost it. Maybe I had to wipe tears from my eyes. It is possible that I attracted the attention of most everyone in the store. Maybe while wearing a rabbit hat. I don't care. I had a good time.

    I got a response from Sparky indicating he already had his severed bloody limb and at a much better price. (as seen below)

    So we departed the store. I ended up buying nothing but saintvi couldn't resist the fuzzy rat... A delightful visit all the way around!!!

  • You two have waay too much fun together! Glad you found your hand!

  • gruesome, but funny! :)

  • I'm glad you were able to have a laughing good time.
    Just yesterday I was mall walking and decided to stop into the Halloween store. I wasn't looking for anything grizzly, but I knew they would have hats and masquerade masks, so I tried several on. I even put on bunny ears, but felt that was for the wrong holiday. If only I had a friend to laugh with me, it would've been better, but I had fun anyhow.
