I swear Boomhauer from King of the Hill just left my office!

He walked in and asked "are yall in here now?" He was wearing a hardhat, what appeared to be a scrubs top (tropical print) and some crazy looking blue jeans and he was holding another pair of jeans and some work boots and he sounded like Boomhauer from King of the Hill.

He was speaking English, but I didn't understand a damn word he said!

He was rambling on about some horse behind some ladies house that didn't have any water, but that if we gave him a couple of dogs he'd run out there with some koolaid?!?!

So, I stare blankly at him and he tells me, "well don't just sit there".

I told him my boss wasn't here and he said, "I know that!" starts to repeat the story, so I get up so as to "not just sit there" and he mentions the dogs again and kool-aid and walked out!

SO BIZARRE!

Now I am going to worry about the horse!!:(


Probably about once a week, I see where somewhere has left a note to the postman about accidentally dropping something into the mail slot along with their mail, like bank deposits, pay checks, etc.

I always laugh at them!!

Today, the joke is on me!

I now have my own note on the mail box:

Dear Postman,

I accidentally dropped my cellphone in with my outgoing mail. When you pick up the mail, please either call me at 432-###-5511 or bring it to suite 303.

Thank you!

No, he walked out on his own. I think he just wanted some free AC. :D

Don't worry. I doubt there is a horse without water. ;)

I recently had a guy come in and open a new account. We knew we were in trouble when everytime he would leave, he would steal our newspapers, magazines, brochures and anything else that wasn't nailed down.

He ultimately ended up applying for a loan and gave me about 4 pages of gibberish - front and back - with not one square inch not scribbled in. There were things like his grocery list, notes of things that he needed to remind his wife of and just a bunch of weird stuff. I spent hours just looking at it and trying to figure out what was going on in his head when he was writing it. It was interesting, funny, sad and scary all at the same time.

If I were in an office by myself though, I would have just been scared for the most part.

Did he get the loan?

They have a pond (with windmill), huge oak trees and grass about 2 feet high on appx 400 acres.

At my house they had maybe 2 acres, mesquite trees for shade, a water trough that had mossy water in it more often than not, and hay!!

THEY think they are livin' the high life!!:D

APPF - it didn't occur to me to be afraid of the strange man. Is that good or bad? :thinking:

one day while making a deposit for work, I drove all the way back to the office with the plastic thingy you put the bank bag in from the drive-thru at the bank.
My boss thought it was hysterical (I didn't find it amusing at all) the very next day - he dropped some stuff off at the Fed Ex drop off - and one of the things he droppped off, was his truck keys - guess who got the pleasure of going to pick him up.. I laughed all the way to the office.......... :D :D

Sounds like a pretty good life for a jackass. I know a few more I would like to send to Sweetwater.:cool:


Rita, in the case of my crazy customer, he was like a stick figure. Even I could have taken him.....

Your "guy" sounds a bit healthier, so yes, you should be afraid.;)

You would be surprised how many people do this...we call them canisters...and they cost about $80.00 to replace.

You DID return it, right????? :D

Pardon my poor memory. I forgot that it is all relative. Compared to Midland, maybe Sweetwater is the "high life"!!!:stirpot: :taunt:

awwww, your banker loves you.:D

When it happens here, I have my tellers think back on transactions, get on the phone and start calling folks to question them if they might be the guilty party. Believe it or not, Nine out of ten times, it works. Well there's that and the fact that there is absolutely NO other use for one of those things. :D

You aren't even gonna be able to stir the pot with that one!

It's darn sure greener and has nicer trees!!!

Oh.....and it's got Mrs. Allens going for it too!

The only downfall...it takes longer than 10 minutes to drive to the next "big" town!!:p
