Thursday afternoon Colby came by work in order for us to go to Bingo. We haven't been in months - got out of the habit after the Arizona trip. Anyway, he wanted to go to Goodwill to try and find some 70s looking clothing for the Paris homecoming - the theme being the 1970s. He found a brown jacket and pants combination that he liked, but he pants were too big, so Colby ditched the pants and got just the jacket and a weird brown-yellow shirt. The cashier silently rang it all up with no problem, until she noticed the tag on the jacket. Hitherto silent, she blurted out in a nasal yet stentorian voice, "This jacket has pants!". The next five minutes or so were spent convincing her that he only wanted the jacket - she was adamant that "This jacket has pants - I can't sell this jacket without the pants!" over and over, even though I (being the adult, lol) assured her that Colby only wanted the jacket. She finally consented, but reluctantly - and continued to remind us that "You know this jacket has pants - I'm not supposed to sell this jacket without the pants". Apparently, this rule has been drilled into the Goodwill employees minds - never sell a jacket without the pants!
BTW, we went to Bingo afterward, and Colby hit Blackout - winning $350 (he split it with some old Bingo lady behind us). This will completely pay for the diamond mining trip next week as well as part of the New York trip next summer. The nice thing is that Colby paid me back the cost of buying the cards, plus he split the winnings with me - since I took him to bingo, he said. No argument there, lol!

dang why didn't you just take the pants too? You probably ran the poor ladies' stress level way into the red LOL What would happen if everyone bought the jacket without the pants - there would be all these jacketless guys wandering around never mind all the ones running around with no pants! For heavens sake STOP the madness!
