The Nan Nan Lady

[Danjo]

I need to learn how to speak that at my grocery store!

The secret to speaking crazy is to just quit using logic for a few seconds. Any more than that and you risk being lost forever. And Thanks for the welcome.

At my store if a bagger accidentally drops something breakable, damages an item (esp. produce) while bagging we will gladly replace it. Hey accidents happen. I would assume most stores do the same thing.

Yeah We do that too, But I didn't break anything.

You see, the problem is, in some languages in computer programming, NaN is an object that means Not A Number, and is used for errors when you process something that is not a number as a number.....

Unless you're playing around in old C. Then it will try to process it anyway. I have seen (1 + "Dog" = Answer) come out with a result. I think it tries to do an ASCII conversion somehow. The worst you might get is an overflow error if the result is bigger than the defined variable. Sadly, straight C isn't used much anymore as it evolved into the Object Oriented C++. I always enjoyed it though. It was a sloppy language that forgave a lot.

Well about the time Marcel takes a big bite out of the banana, the train goes into a long tunnel. A few seconds later, Marcel says quietly "Jerry, you try your nanna yet?" Jerry answers softly "No, why?" Marcel responded "Don't! I took a bite of mine and went slap blind!"

Man, you are just too trusting of people who tell you stories they claim happened to them.

Yeah but Jerry Clower tells it better.

You guys have missed what I think is the SCARIEST part of the whole story:
This lady got to the store somehow. So unless she came on one of those Senior Daycare Busloads they do in this area, She's out there on the road somewhere driving a CAR.
