I generally do all of my entries from the comfort of my apartment, where I can steal jokes from my boyfriend and bounce ideas off my cat. But I've been challenged to submit a live entry from a foreign location, so here I sit on the Cal State Fullerton campus. I would have liked to have done a live blog from my parents house, where Nana could be hovering over my shoulder asking me what I'm writing about and telling me I should really play Mah Jong with her and her friends, but alas, she is visiting her sister in Philly, and we, we are free.
So, I blog from my second home, College Park, where the
CSUF College of Communications is located. That being said,
I bring you a ridiculous story (aren't they all?) from Idaho.
Idaho Woman Mistakes Own Hearing Aid For A Milk Dud
By: Kimberly A.C. Wilson
Via The Oregonian
"Violet Bishop, 87, of Coeur d’Alene was tucked into bed with a box of Milk Duds, ready to watch “Dancing With the Stars,” when something went horribly wrong. In her words:
“As I enjoyed the chocolate and caramel taste, it appeared that one of my Milk Duds was not as fresh as the others. One was rather crunchy and I could not get it to soften up, no matter how hard I tried.”
This lady got her picture in the newspaper for this. I don't think I would want my picture posted, its bad enough her name is in the article. Nothing like making an ass of yourself and letting a modern day town crier tell everybody about it.
Luckily, Violet didn't swallow it.
Old people: They can be like 7 year-olds, but with driver's licenses.
