The Universe righted itself

[Boomslang]

Incredibly ancient lady who looks a lot like that bearded grandma in Moby Dick comes in today and wants to write a check. Her drivers license is expired. She doesn't have her new one on her. She is told we cannot accept the check. Her response?

"WELL THEN DROP DEAD!"


Later that same evening (which was this evening, but that doesn't sound quite as dramatic) a little old man comes in with a bouquet of wildflowers for us. I put them in an amber vial with an aspirin and thanked him profusely.

It all balanced out.

Was customer 2 married to Customer 1?

"WELL THEN DROP DEAD!"

I wonder what her reaction would have been if after hearing that you just collapsed on the spot?

"Later that same evening..."

From the title and what the "ancient" lady said I thought for sure you were going to say she died LOL! Sorry I got a morbid sense of humor

"WELL THEN DROP DEAD!"

First thing that popped into my head was Tim curry in Three Musketeeres saying, "You first."

Odd, but glad all worked out for the OP.

That's what I was thinking. It would explain the flowers.

I had the same thought.

Probably get upset b/c she wasn't being served.

Sorry lady, you can't have it both ways. Besides, telling someone to drop dead went out of style by first grade.
