Like many of you I have a decent commute into the office
each day. I often find new ways to entertain myself. A healthy session of Pandora
on my favorite tunes was doing the trick. Well, that grew old. Next up podcasts
trying to learn more. Ok, sure nice, but yes that grew old pretty quickly as
well. Then I started waving at random people acting like they were my long lost
friend. Again only fun for a short time.
Well friends, this morning it all came to a head. 2 minutes
into my commute an SUV zooms past me on the right side. As she blazes by me I
noticed the lady driving is in the process of devastating a McMuffin while
driving. As she gets ahead of me I see her vehicle is proudly adorned with the propaganda
stating, “Have you tried that crazy wrap thing?” I started to wonder does the wrap
cancel out the McMuffin? Well, holy hell people the number to call was right on
the back of her car, it’s time for answers. I dial the number, below is our
exchange:
Now…picture it. I’ve now sped up and I’m driving in the lane
next to her just slightly behind her so I can see her. As I’m talking I’m also
trying to sound very breath heavy in my speech like I’m very winded.
McMuffin Wrap Lady: Hello
Me: Yes, can you tell me more about that crazy wrap thing?
After saying this I see her get visibly excited, holy shit
she’s got a live sucker on the phone! I see her put her McMuffin aside, it will
clearly have to wait, her ‘business’ beckons.
McMuffin Wrap Lady: Oh YES! It’s amazing! (the pitch of her
voice actually elevates)
Me: Before you get going, I need to know how fast I see
results (while talking I begin to consume a banana making as much noise as
possible so she can hear it.)
McMuffin Wrap Lady: Results are instant, you’ll notice it
right away. (She’s on Bluetooth and by now she’s using her hands to talk) It is
just so amazing you will love it.
Me: Ok, good, because I need to get some results really fast
I’m afraid I’m about out of options here. I’m so glad I got your number.
McMuffin Wrap Lady: Yes, I am too. Can we set up a time for
me to come by to show you more?
Me: Yes, that would be great. Any chance you can come by
today? (now she’s really excited)
McMuffin Wrap Lady: What part of town do you live in? I
probably could come by this afternoon.
Me: Well I live in the northland, are you sure you have
enough in inventory to wrap me? I’m fairly large.
McMuffin Wrap Lady: Certainly it won’t be a problem, would
2pm today work?
Me: Yes, I think so, I’ll give you my garage door code and
you can just let your self in, I’m in the back bedroom.
McMuffin Wrap Lady: Excuse me sir?
Me: Yes, I’ll give you my garage code, just let yourself in
and come and find me, and would you mind swinging by subway and picking me up a
sub on your way? I’m also trying the Jared thing, you know before he got into
all the trouble…pervet!
McMuffin Wrap Lady: (lady now growing frustrated) Sir….I can’t
just let myself into your house. And I’m sorry I really don’t feel comfortable
stopping to pick up food for you, can you just do that yourself? I’m happy to
knock on your door and you can let me in. We’ve never met and I just don’t feel
comfortable letting myself into your home.
Me: Well, that’s the problem I weigh 684 pounds and I can’t
get out of bed. Hopefully you can understand my situation. If these wraps work
I’ll be so excited. I’ll need you to start on my legs first, they are very
swollen.
McMuffin Wrap Lady: I’m sorry sir I really think there has
been a huge misunderstanding here.
Me: No, I don’t think so. Please help me I’ve tried
everything. The subway diet hasn’t seemed to help me. I’ve also tried to get on
that show “My 600lb life” but they won’t call me back. I’m afraid I gain too
much more I’m really in trouble because they don’t a show called “My 700lb life”
McMuffin Wrap Lady: (By now she’s really pissed) Sir, I
really don’t think I can help you!
Me: (I change lanes and pull up beside her and I’m looking
right at her) I said ok, fair enough, do any of your friends sell that
Shakeology stuff? I guess I could give that a try. (By now I can’t hold back
laughing anymore. She finally looks over at me and I told up my cellphone. She
hangs up on me and flips me off and speeds away.)
Well, that was fun. Only 10 more minutes and I’m at work.
