I MADE THE PAPER! I MADE THE PAPER!

I was in the salad dressing aisle when I first saw her. The young lady had a clipboard in her arms, and a camera around her neck. I put it into another gear...and quickly ducked into the bread aisle. WHEW...that was close.

5 minutes went by. She was waiting in front of the frozen shrimp. Nowhere for me to run this time. I was a prawn in her little game.

"Sir...I'm from the Tri-county News...would you mind if I asked you a question?"

"Is it political?" ( I hate politics.)

"No."

"Do you have to take my picture?"

"Yes...but with my camera skills... I'll make you look like you're 60 again."

"I"M 59...YOU LITTLE CAMERA-WIELDING WENCH!!!!"

After me settling down, and her picking up her camera...we continued.

In case you can't read it...the question of the week was...Would you ever consider plastic surgery? I wanted to mention 2 names...Kenny Rogers and Bruce Jenner. But...I didn't. My answer? "No...I think you deal with what God gave you, and try to be content." Amen.

I was getting out of the shower when my wife Lisa yelled. " Hey Tim...you're in the paper."

"How bad is the picture?"

"It looks like you could use some plastic surgery."

Nice.
