A Tale of Pirates
 I’m used to strange people by now, as you’ve probably guessed. But I must admit I was a little surprised when this occurance happened. I had told the old woman how much her bill was, and she pulled out her change, and handed it to me, saying, “There you be.”
 An old woman pirate? I tried not to give her a strange look. But I did watch her leave … and I noticed a bit of a limp, perhaps from some earlier fight.

Random Saying of the Day
 ”You the girl, man!”

Alas, winter is truly here. But this exchange still made me smile.
 ”My word, it’s cold outside!”
 ”It’s not cold; it’s just your imagination.”
 ”Well, tell that to my imagination!”

Craziest Story of the Day
 ”Thank you so much for asking to see my ID. I left my card unsigned for that purpose. I was on a business trip once, and I ate at Taco Bell for a week. (I’ll never do that again.) Anyway, I used the same card every day, and they never asked to see ID. So finally, I asked the girl why she never asked to see ID, and she replied that if the name on the printed reciept matches the name on the card, it must be me.”
