One Hot Day

Yesterday, my barber cut my hair right before I went to a job interview. (Tip #1--Never get your haircut in your interviewing outfit) While we were laughing about how long it took me to get the hair off of my clothes, another memory came back to me.

One hot and humid day, I woke up to attend a funeral at our original church. On this particular morning, I felt extremely lazy so I only ironed the front part of my shirt. For those who are having trouble picturing me, it is the part of the shirt that is visible when you have on your coat jacket.

Finally, we arrived at our destination. At first, we thought it was hot outside, but once we got inside the church; it felt like sitting in a sauna fully dressed. In my mind, I was hoping that they would shorten the service due to the overcapacity. Of course, you know that they did't. It seem as if they knew that my shirt was heavly wrinkled underneath my jacket, so they did everything that they could to get me out of that jacket. Sweat was profusely rolling down my face.

Then, an elderly lady sheepishly leaned over and slowly whispered in my ear,"Baby, why don't ya take off ya coat"? So you know what I had to do. With all my innocence and truthfulness, I look at her and said,"I am going to keep my jacket on because I feel just fine. Thanks for asking." By the time the funeral finally ended, I had to receive fluids intravenously. (Just kidding)

I will leave you with Tip #2--Always iron your entire shirt because you never know when you might be forced to take off your jacket:-)
