Today I attempted to do some banking for my business. I discovered that I needed to run home and get a copy of my license. As a joke, that turned out to be only funny to me, I grabbed not only a framed copy of my license, but framed copies of all my degrees. I brought them back to the guy at the bank and loudly said, "you'll want photocopies of all of this, and I'd like it to be noted for my application that I graduated Summa Cum Laude from college." Not a smile crossed his lips and the bank manager walked over to see if there was a problem. Doesn't anybody understand intelligent humor anymore?

Edward Reads a Book and Another Matter
Edward, the Pain in My Patoot hubby, just read a fascinating book entitled, "Helluva Town: The Story of New York City During World War II". The Amazon link is here. The book is so good that Edward and I both believe my vast readership would be highly interested. To quote from the fly leaf: "Richard Goldstein's 'Helluva Town' is a kaleidoscopic and compelling social history that captures the youthful electricity of wartime and recounts the important role New York played in the national war effort.'' This Goldstein guy has written other great books too!

I read Richard Goldstein's book! It was great! And I even went to a talk that he gave at the Century Club. I have him a laurel and hearty handshake.

ReplyDeleteThanks very much for your kind words. Barnie and I look forward to seeing you on Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall this fellow, Richard Goldstein. Nice guy.
ReplyDeleteAs for the unsmiling banker, I think it is time to unleash some CFA therapy in his establishment. I can be hired for midday performances.
Actually, I think the teller needs to go shopping with your niece.....a new pair of boots should help!!!! Or, better yet, perhaps he needs to read Goldstein's books!!!!!! That will cure him.....
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous ideas and should definitely be tried out on the guy at the bank.
