A LITTLE OLD LADY SOLD PRETZELS ON A STREET CORNER FOR 25 CENTS EACH. EVERYDAY A YOUNG MAN WOULD LEAVE HIS OFFICE BUILDING AT LUNCH TIME, AND AS HE PASSED THE PRETZEL STAND, HE WOULD LEAVE HER A QUARTER, BUT NEVER TAKE A PRETZEL. THIS WENT ON FOR THREE YEARS. THE TWO OF THEM NEVER SPOKE. ONE DAY, AS THE YOUNG MAN PASSED THE OLD LADY'S STAND AND LEFT HIS QUARTER AS USUAL, THE PRETZEL LADY SPOKE TO HIM WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE, SHE SAID "THEY'RE 35 CENTS NOW."
Rizzi darling, so glad you too have great plans for the weekend. Have fun with Jackie and enjoy your lunch. By the way, this was a hilarious post, my cousin is still laughing. Hope your weekend is filled with blessings.
