True *&@#!% Crime

So I arrive in the major metropolis of McKinney, Texas, for a hearing this afternoon. I walk into the renovated "court-house" -- renovated I say, because it used to be a hospital.

Sprightly and with great energy I bound through the automatic doors, throw my bag down, and proceed through the metal detector. Ready to cross-examine Smokey, I am loaded for bear.

Stern security man: Mam, have you had a hip replacement?

Me: Excuse me?

Security man (loudly, wielding metal wand): A hip replacement!

Me: NO! Do I look old enough to have had a hip replacement?

Security man: Well, mam, I've seen people in their FORTIES who've had them.

Me: Yeah? Well, I'm in my thirties.

Just put me in a mumu and shoot me now.

This reminds me of this past holiday season I went into a Sephora cosmetics store for first time and was smelling the perfumes. A sales lady approached me and said, "This one reminds me so much of going out in the 80's dancing--it's like Poison, do you remember that, everyone wore that". I was speechless. How did she know I was old enough in the 80's to go out?? I couldn't have possibly looked as old as she did. Truth is, I loved what she recommended. It was one of those Be Delicious scents by Donna Karan shaped like an apple--the purple one.

I heard a guy at trader joes say to a customer: You're 40? You don't look THAT OLD.

Drama Queen Jenner said...

It's sad when you don't get carded anymore. This guy was downright mean! Nothing good comes from going to McKinney!

LadyFi said...

Hilarious! As for those mumus... I lived in Fiji as a teenager and we all wore them!

I think I*m in love with Manoel! ;-)

honeypiehorse said...

So, getting carded is better. But clearly you're just getting sexier as you get older, as Manoel can testify.

The Dental Maven said...

I observed two employees exchange snickers after one of them carded a woman at a liquor store. Not catching their glances, the women produced her ID like it was common for her to be carded. Her sincerity only served to increase the snickering.

Hey Manoel! Friend love you like you were, uh, er, um, whatevs.

The Stiletto Mom said...

First of all, who is the Manoel dude? Lucky you, attracting the international following.

Secondly, I'd still hang out with you, even in a mumu. This was HILARIOIUS.

The Mother said...

Lawyer Mom, I'm so glad that you're SO MUCH younger than I am, and that you haven't had any reason to even think about that hip replacement.

ME? I'm thinking I might not even make it out of my forties.

Maybe it was your pacemaker that was setting off the alarm. He didn't think about that, did he?

Well? Did he fluster you or was your cross KILLER?

smoothie mom said...

Hey, I got carded at a liquor store when I was 33. In the East Village, man. I am having this inscribed on my headstone.
Fast forwarding a decade, Lawyer Mom, I got me some of them frownies. How in the heck do you wear those things without scaring husband and family and pets?
Also, I am missing the Manoel joke. Please advise.

A Lawyer Mom's Musings said...

For make benefit of bountiful blogger, Manoel wishes he'd been the guy with the wand. Mavilhoso!

Vered - MomGrind said...

Oh my.

What an idiot.

Sodermoto said...

I just stumbled across your blog! Hillarious. Thanks for the laugh!

Becky said...

OMG, what a little punk!

You are mahvilhoso, dear! Not to worry.

Debbie said...

This so sounds like something that would have happened to me! You should have slapped him. Do they allow that there?

Don said...

It being Texas and all, you weren't actually packing a gun were you? LOL No, you don't sound like that kind of Texan.

the Mayor said...

You are such a baby! Let Mr. M take a digital picture of you and post it up so we can see for ourselves.
How did you get so wise and caustic at such a tender age?
I wouldn't count on getting away with slapping a deputy no matter how big of a cad, unless you are a US congresswoman.

Skunkfeathers said...

ROFLMAO...that first post wasn't me, LMM ;) Swear on a whole stack of Bibles and boneless nachos, a hug from Skunk, olay.

As for hip replacements, the last time I went through a security screening, it was my steel-toed boots what set it off. I told 'em that. It was the last thing they checked.

The law gots no respect for the law. Eh, Manoel do Brazil?
