This morning I’m walking into my office building and I just happen to be a little behind a female office worker, let’s call her Shirly.  She walks into an elevator and the doors begin to shut.  I was a little surprised that she didn’t hold the door for me, so I stuck my arm between the doors as they were closing so I can trigger the safety mechanism to make them reopen again, which they did.

As I entered, this usually bubbly person has a look of fear on her face and tells me, “Never do that again!” 

“Do what?” I replied.

“You could have lost your arm.”

I then started to laugh and told her “Don’t be silly.”

That was when her eyes turned red and steam started to come out of her ears and the atmosphere suddenly became uncomfortable.  Shirly then decided to tell me, “I’m only trying to look out for you, when a person gives you advice you take it!  Have you not seen that article . . .”

“Yes, I know what story you are talking about, but I wasn’t going to lose my arm.”

“YOU DON’T KNOW THAT.”

“The doors never shut on me, I just tapped them to trigger the safety mechanism to have them reopen.”

She then walked with me about 100 or so feet as I made way to me lowly cubical  lecturing me on how when someone gives me advice, I need to take it and what she said wasn’t silly. 

I tried to tell her that I didn’t mean to purposely upset her and that she shouldn’t take anything I said personally, but I also let her know that I didn’t want her advice and I wasn’t going to lose my arm.

She responded with a tad bit of rage, “Well then, GOD BLESS YOU!”

Who knows, maybe I’m in the wrong.  My one-eyed wife could have been married to a one-armed husband.  Or maybe I ran into another women who feels like she’s the boss of everyone.

 

I was reading an article about President Bush’s speech at the NAACP.  This paragraph caught my attention:

Bush also recalled his visit in June to Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. While in Memphis, the two made an unscheduled stop at the National Civil Rights Museum at The Lorraine Motel, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. Bush and Koizumi emerged from a tour to stand on the spot on the motel balcony where King was slain.

So The Lorraine Motel, the spot where Dr King was assissinated is now the National Civil Rights Museum?  I had no idea, but it’s true, and what a great idea to turn a negative into a postive.  Here’s the link to it’s website.

Of course here in Dallas we made a museum out of the spot Lee Harvey Oswald shot out of, that is if you believe he’s the killer.  Now here’s something weird, you can reserve for a private occasion

Hold your next after hours event at one of Dallas’ most unique venues and provide your guests the opportunity to experience history. Located in the Dallas West End Historic District, the Museum offers over 5,000 square feet of event space for exclusive private occasions—dinners, receptions, and corporate events. 

WifeGeeding and I were married at SMU, just about a ten minute drive from this spot.  If we only would have held our wedding reception at The Sixth Floor Museum.  And in case you didn’t know, Dallas continues to mark the spot Kennedy was shot with an ‘X’ on the street.
