A Little Bling

Yesterday Annie and Scott stopped in at a women's clothing store as they were having a massive outerwear sale that couldn't be missed. After browsing for a while and selecting about 6 items to try on, Annie made her way to the dressing room. After popping out to look in the mirror, Annie was greeted by a smiling sales clerk who proceeded to make sure "all the parts were in the right place." A little surprised by the rub down but determined to try on all the pieces Annie headed behind the curtain again.

When she came out the next time she was greeted by not one but two sales clerks and two curious shoppers. All thought she looked fabulous but was missing something. They all began to pilfer through the costume jewelry that was strategically placed near the dressing room area. After much discussion (and what appeared to be several arguments), they decided on some terribly huge and gaudy gold chains as the perfect accessory to the sleak black and grey number that she was modeling. A wide-eyed Annie turned to Scott who had covered his face to hold in the laughter.

After convincing the "help" that she didn't have enough chest hair to really justify buying the 1970s necklace, Annie finished trying on the items and quickly rushed out to meet her waiting husband with a frustrated look on her face. Reassuringly, Scott told her to look on the bright side ... "If Mr. T ever calls wanting to know where to find some new bling, you'll know where to send him."
