24/7 Buhr

Perhaps one day some comedian such as Brian Regan will do a bit on the thought I had the other day. You are standing in the card aisle at any given store. Let's say you are buying a birthday card. You grab one that looks promising, only to find it to be the worst card ever written. Obviously not wanting that card you begin to put it back in its place. . . . only to find that you do not remember where you got it from. Even though you grabbed the card only seconds ago, it is quite impossible for you to recall which one of the thousands of slots you took it from. But you are saved, for in a stroke of genius, you decide to put the card facing backward in a slot that you know very well to be the completely wrong one. Unfortunately, that person standing next to you looks down and gives you that look that says, "Don't you even think about putting that card in the wrong slot". Not just the wrong slot, but you are putting the birthday card under the sympathy heading. After what seems like hours of searching, you find that perfect card. However, there is no envelopes behind it. It takes you almost twice as long to find and envelope that fits as it did to find the card and you leave the store frustrated and $6.95 poorer.
