As I was walking out the doors to the post office today, the woman in front of me stopped just outside where a bed of flowers was laid out, examined them, and plucked one she apparently was fond of and stuck it in her hat before walking away...
I was dumbstruck. It's like she never considered for a second that doing so would be incredibly rude... I mean, if I just casually helped myself to HER flower bed, how much you wanna bet she'd call the cops on me?
Is there some gene in human DNA that activates when you turn 60-something that makes you just not give a flyin' fudge about the rules anymore? Or is it okay if it's property of DaMan (tm) that you mess with? I mean, vandalizing a post office flower bed is a FEDERAL crime isn't it?
I don't care if she's 70, they have medical orderlies in Leavenworth, don't they?
