My magic green hat.

Sent to me by fellow UHHer Widetracker. Thanks Bob.
When I lived in NYC, I needed to go to the emergency room. Not wanting to sit there for 4 hours, I put on my MAGIC GREEN HAT.
When I went into the E.R., I noticed that 8 or 10 of the people got up and left. I guess they decided that they weren't that sick after all. It cut at least 3 hours off my waiting time.
It also works at Dept. of Motor Vehicles. It saved me 2 hours.
At the Laundromat, three minutes after entering, I had my choice of any machine, most still running.
It might also cut your wait time at the grocery store.
But...don't try it at McDonald's...
The whole crew ran out the back door and I never did get my order!

A teacher I used to work with had a friend who lived next door who was Border Patrol. He had been at a desk job in the Los Angeles office for 10 years and was proud that his uniforms still fit after all that desk time.
My friend invited him to speak to his Senior Composition Class about working for the Federal Gvt. on career day.
The guy showed up at the class in full uniform, gun etc. Opened the door and stepped in. Three boys went out the windows. Good thing it was a first floor room.

Now that is hilarious!Yeah, best I did was 1/2, but I had the two cops from the LAPD "school car" instead of Border Patrol.
They showed up and one came in each door of the room. One kid made it halfway out a window when he realized they were both yelling"Jesus, we aren't after you, we're here for career day."
He stopped with one leg out the window, and asked if they were telling him the truth. They asked him how many times have we busted you? (constant truant and low level gang member) About 10. Have we ever lied to you? No. We aren't after you, your last warrant was cleared when we took you to Juvie last week. OK, but do you mind if I sit next to this open window for the fresh air? Nope. The whole class was riveted for the career day talk. One kid asked if the cops and Jesus had planned that to get their attention.

bcheary - That's a CAP, not a "hat." A hat has a brim all around the headpiece.

Hey, I didn't write it. I just posted that as written. Sorry to waste the joke on you!

Working in New Orleans for the Corps of Engineers, right after Katrina, a contractor brought in his crew staking and laying out for levee enlargement, they worked down the levee until right behind a fire station- you wouldn't know it was a fire station when seen from the levee... but when the sirens went off... half the crew ran into the swamp...
