No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk (or Water)

Yesterday, I needed a new filter and light for my fridge. I decided I would take both with me to Home Depot to make sure I got the right ones. I began with the light. As I unscrewed it, it slipped through my fingers and onto the tile floor and shattered. Hmm, wonder if that little silver part is enough . . . I detached the filter with very little incident, but since I was in a hurry now (didn’t count on having to clean up broken light from my floor), I didn’t drain all the water out – just popped it in a plastic grocery bag.

Well, that filter drained itself in the bag during the drive to Home Depot, so when I grabbed it to get out of the car and run in to the store, it spilled water all over my shorts – in all the wrong places. I decided the mission still had to be accomplished, so I marched in there and got my light and filter – chuckling out loud every few seconds when I thought about walking around a store with wet shorts.

If anyone had been paying attention – which they probably weren’t – to a laughing girl who appeared to have wet herself . . . well, you get the idea. (Incidentally, the lighting guy who helped me find the fridge light was pretty amused by me bringing the little silver thing along – but hey, it worked.) By the way, Home Depot is a pretty cool store.

I'm going to start calling you Miles Davis. You will only think that joke is funny if you have seen Billy Madison. But if you haven't seen it don't watch it; it is a stupid movie. But if you take my advice, then you will never get the joke. And if you never get the joke, then I will never call you Miles Davis. Well, I guess this makes this comment completely useless. Nice.
