Turnsh out alsho

Well it turns out that SOME people can follow my train of thought. 
Anonymous, for example.  So astute.

Turns out also that my pants were right- I HAVE gained weight since the bathroom scale was relocated to a place other than the bathroom.  So says the  master scale at WW.  ugh 6 pounds!!!

And finally, I have met someone, a delightful someone, a joyful, cheerful someone with a lateral lisp. Alert readers know that one reason I love Zippy so much is that when she was a child, she and her evil friend affected the lateral lisp until the friend's mother finally tchashed her out of the houshe with a yardshtick.

It is also why I love my friendsh Shushan and Sharah, whose last names are Shandersh and Shadler. It is why I love shoups, shtews and fricasheesh, and shlotted shpoonsh.

So this guy is working the express lane in the early morning shift at the supermarket.  His name, my friends, is Ellis.  He is reading groceries like they were tea leaves: "You're having a cookout!  A barbeque!  At school...? Looks like hotdogs, hamburgers..."  And my total was $36.67. 

If you read the above with a mental lateral lisp, you'll see that Ellis and I were meant for each other.  Sherioushly.
