My dear little grandmother would be 101 if she still lived & she would totally freak if she knew what went on in the world today. I can't believe what the kids do & I'm not that old. As I tell my kids, "I didn't just fall off the banana boat. " I do know more than you think I know. And anything you can think of has already been done maybe twice.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Great comeback!
It amazes me how many people can't compute how much change to give back when you give them a penny or two after the money drawer is open. I actually had one take out a calculator; she didn't believe me when I told her how much to give back.

I laughed at this one, too. The comeback was great. :lol: :lol:
And even though I'm 50 years old, I did not know what a dressmaker's ham was. I'm thinking not many guys know this. I know now, though. We need to remember that ignorance is not a bad thing. Stupidity is. Not knowing something, because you've never experienced it before is OK. Knowing better and still acting like an idiot is not OK. At least, this person tried their best to help, based on their limited knowledge and experience. And I'd bet if they were shown a dressmaker's ham once, they would remember what it was from then on. Afterwards, if they had some initiative, they may have looked it up on the internet to become more knowledgeable.
