His Big Role
I noticed a young woman in the fabric department at Wal-Mart. She would finger a fabric, pull the bolt off the shelf and unroll a bit of it, then shake her head and return the bolt to the shelf. She did this over and over.

Finally she noticed me noticing her and said rather ruefully "I have to make a costume for my son's school play and I just don't know what to do."

"Oh? What role does he have?"

"A maggot."

Won't that be one for the scrapbook!

I am glad it is her and not me.
