Glass Bottled Milk

Ok I have another story to tell. I used to work on the 78th floor of the Empire State Building which is something like 110 stories in height. (Yes that is how we spell "storys" {floors] here).

It was a Saturday in the winter cold. The tourist elevator (lift) and the tenant elevator were COMBINED! (UGH YUK EW!)I was not in the mood to be in the office on my regular day-off.

So I am ascending to my office when two toothless hicks with overalls, flannel shirs and mohegans start chatting me up.
It was a man and his wife/daughter/cousin, or all three at once, proabably

(It's WAY TOO f---ing early for this, ok?)

~Y'all work in this here tall buildng?
*(Hold me down I'm going to vomit) Yes sir, I do.
~Every day?
* Monday through Friday, usually.
~ I don't know how y'all survive in this here vertical city.
*It's what I know. (Wow, I think to myself, they teach the word 'vertical' in the third grade. Impressive!

After a few minutes of this baloney (it's a few minutes to get to the top), I get an idea. Armed with a plan, I begin to act agitated, and search though my pockets. I was looking for a mint, but I coudn't resist.

~What y'all looking for mister?
*SH-- I left my F---in' pistol on the kitchen table again. G-d Damn it! Oh I'm sorry did you say something?

I'm not sure why, but there was silence the rest of the way up. IMAGINE? The stereotype is all NY-ers are violent, aggressive, rude, mean and carry heat. (Well four outta five ain't bad!)

Of course, I was sure to say "Thank you for visitng our city and I hope you enjoy your stay" as I stepped off the elevator. Can't be considered cold and rude, can we? *LOL*

And BTW, this is the only city in the country (as far as I know) where if someone threatens to commit suicide by jumping off a tall building the crowd would actually shout "JUMP,JUMP, JUMP". (jsut dont mess-up my commute).

Do you think anyone cares? Get a grip. At least a nice new rent-regualted apt will become available. LOL

You are one in 8 million. NEXT!

ROFLMAO...

Thanks for the tips on the revolving doors.. I might be headed to new jersy in may of next year and new york is on mist...
I keep my wallet in my rf pants pocket, near something else as i have lost 7 or so in my life (yes i am absentminded)i also keep my cellphone there, so i can feel them..Keys go in the other pocket.. I doubt someone would take my wallet with out me feelin it..

Sounds like your new found friends are from down this a way... I frequently get asked where i was raised, because i have a norther accent (listen to me saw cough-fee, not cawfee)

I wish i could find the hanging chad joke thing i used to have... I loved it...

Then again my answer to a few was " well at least i am a still a hangin and not a flattened chad"

How did we manage to get off the topic of milk????

Does any one know the diffrence between mile in a clear bottle vs the yellow bottles? This has always baffled me..

exploder321~

supposedly milk in the yellow plastic containers protects the flavor and nutrient content of the milk..Personally, Nothing beats a fresh cold glass of milk from a glass bottle. For those of you that have never tried milk in glass bottles, try it..there is now going back to plastic...

As I recall, some B vitamins are destroyed by exposure to light. So that's the reason why milk cooler boxes on porches used to be made of insulated metal - the metal will block all light.
