re: #241 wrenchwench
Sometimes I read the obits just because I enjoy names, even (or maybe especially) when I don’t know whose name it is. These are a first and middle name:
Every day an old white man walks into the news store, takes a look at the paper rack, and shuffles out without buying or even touching one. After a year of this the confused owner asks him:
“What gives with the constant pilgrimage to the newsrack?”
OWM: “I’m just looking at the obituaries.”
Owner: “The obituaries are in Section 3, you old fool.”
OWM: “Not the one I’m looking for.”
