The thought that the elderly black lady had a $500,000 loan out from the bank.

@spendius,
I hope, Spendius, that you and Genoves will get over your indigestion and stop messing with this light-hearted thread.
For the record, I did find out from the young lady at Suntrust that the older lady was not a customer. She got off a bus; it was hot out, she came into the bank and was invited to sit in the lobby for a spell before being escorted across 4 lanes of traffic.
Your cynicism about the kindness of strangers strikes me as somehow sad.

I'm thinking realjohnboy is some kind of commie-pinko, perhaps even a democrat.

@dyslexia,
I think he's a chicken who, nevertheless, feels compelled to vote for Colonel Sanders.

@realjohnboy,
You should read Norman Mailer John and knock off patronising folk so you can look like a St Theresa's poodle after a primping session.

And anyway I never said she had a $500,000 loan from the bank where the guy ushering her to safety worked. All I said was that the thought she might have made me smile.

I hope she had actually.

@JLNobody,
No, this is Rabelais - at least my Rabelais - and he makes me smile every day....
That rhymes! That just made me smile:

Anyway - every day he says - 'What will I do with you and what would I do without you?' and I feel the same way about him.
It's nice to have someone you love to see every day: he/seeing him makes me smile every day.
And the only thing we have in common is that once he visited his aunt in upstate New York and I lived there for a year.
Life can be beautiful.

because men that are free, well-born, well-bred, and conversant in honest companies, have naturally an instinct and spur that prompteth them unto virtuous actions, and withdraws them from vice, which is called honour. Those same men, when by base subjection and constraint they are brought under and kept down, turn aside from that noble disposition by which they formerly were inclined to virtue, to shake off and break that bond of servitude wherein they are so tyrannously enslaved; for it is agreeable with the nature of man to long after things forbidden and to desire what is denied us

@spendius,
He is the most wonderfully droll person in the world.

We laugh like hyenas whenever we're together.

I told him we should have been born at the same time so we could have gone to school together and the teacher would have had to separate us by putting one of our desks out in the hallway.
I just wished I'd met him 80 years ago. I can't bear to think of him leaving before I do.

Wow, Tak, you were right about that. I have no idea what Roger, Dys, Spendius are talking about, really. I posted an innocent tale about a red-haired kid escorting an elderly lady across a highway.
I post little vignettes like that all the time. Total throw-away stories.
Can we move on?

Awesome image, Spendius. Um, what exactly does a St Theresa's poodle look like?
