KFC

So I know.  I shouldn't be going to KFC.  Let alone bringing back fried chicken and mashed potatoes for MsE (both of us with high cholesterol but you know sometimes you just need a fix.  Anyway. . . )  I'm at KFC waiting for the chicken when this 80+ lady walks in.  Puts down $2.02 on the counter.  The cashier goes immediately to the green beans and starts dishing a small take out dish.  I say to her "you must be a regular?!"  "Oh yes dear.  I come here every day for green beans."   The server then asks "have you gotten your tattoo yet?"  "No not yet."  I turn and look at her with a raised eyebrow and she says, "We'll I'm 84 and I've lived a long life.  I might as well get a tattoo on my shoulder and I'm going to jump out an airplane!"   I say "I don't have a tattoo but I did jump out of a plane.  Got terrible whiplash.  It was fun but I'm not sure I'd do it again."  She says: "You only live once might as well!"  and off she went.   80-something and going to get a tattoo and parachute jump.   You go girl.

What a great story. Woowee, getting old does have it's privileges. So when are you getting that tatoo? MsE? You definitely need a fix now and again.
