Preview of this Week's Random Dozen and the Friend Who Shall Remain Nameless

But I'll call her, "Lois." And no, Lois is not me. But both Lois stories are absolutely true.

Lois had a gyno appointment. When she took her morning shower, she hurried so that she wouldn't be late. After toweling off, she grabbed her daughter's lotion and applied it before she dressed and quickly left.

At the office, Lois was completely prepped for the exam, and you know exactly what I mean.

The doctor walks in, greets her, assumes his position and appears to be taken aback.

"Well," he says, "I see that you got all dolled up for me today."

Stunned by this weird statement, Lois thought maybe she was one of the statistics who finds out that her gyno is a perv.

But then he explained that Lois was extra shiny all over, in fact, sparkly--unbeknownst to Lois, her daughter's lotion was glitter lotion.

****************
Another true Lois story:

Lois was driving through a DQ with two teenage daughters, and in the midst of ordering, became tongue tied.

After several attempts to pronounce the item correctly and be heard through the speaker, she slowed her speech and clearly requested:

"That's two Penis-Buster Parfaits." (Peanut Buster Parfait)

Her daughters are still in therapy.

****************

Not a Lois story but DQ related: Another "friend" whose name starts with "L" (wink, wink) was at a drive through and asked her kids what they wanted. Her 10 year old son reading the menu replied, "I want a brassiere burger." (Brazier Burger).

Who knew the DQ menu could be so racy?

5. Share a quote, scripture, poem or lyric which has been an inspiration to you lately.

6. This is meant to be a fun question, and this is a G-rated blog, but please share a “guilty pleasure,” something that you enjoy that’s probably not the most edifying, time-worthy or healthy thing you could be indulging in. Did I mention--G rating?

7. What Thanksgiving food are you looking forward to?

12. True story: Once, in a job interview, I was asked this question and told there would be no clarifying; I simply had to answer the question: “When you’re fishing, do you feel for the fish?” So what about you? When you're fishing, do you feel for the fish??
