picture this, I am in the store, looking for my debit card, and take a small ziplock bag with a twist of curly black hair out of my purse and lay on the counter as I search. I am getting ready to send it off to the lab to see if my little heifer is A1 or what have you and forgot it was in there. I notice the cashier looking at it strangly, and fearing she think me odd to have such a thing in with my check book and lipgloss, I quickly say "oh, that is hair from my cow" as an explaination, she just nods sagely, now, in retrospect, do you suppose my disclaimer made me seem any less odd perhaps not!

I was in line @ Wal Mart and felt something in the pocket of my jacket (had not worn it in a while) and was feeling it thinking it was a sharpie or lip gloss. You can imagine the looks I got when I whipped out a syringe...

Thanks for a laugh out loud moment.

LOL! Glad to know I'm not the only that does stuff like that. Makes me feel a little more normal. LOL!

[farmgirl6]

that is so funny!! I can imagine the reaction dear God please let a tuft of hair be the worse thing that comes out of my purse in public...why do I doubt that must be the farm animal thing....

Sometimes when I have been digging in my pocket for change, I have found an elastrator band from time to time. > Marc

Thanks, Marc. I don't think I laugh enough lately.

A few years ago, I was doing AI with my four mares. My worthless BIL was coming up for the weekend. I work an afternoon shift. The only store that was open after midnight was the Grocery store. I didn't even think about it, until I set the 12 pack of Bud and the giant tube of KY on the conveyor. The teller looked to be about 20.
I thought it deserved an explaination, but opted to pay for it and stare at the floor, silently.

HAHAHA! You guys!

A friend of mine once told me that she had to pick her daughter up at a friend's in the middle of the night. She had seen syringes and was afraid they were doing drugs.

When my son has company over, I always hope they don't call their parents because I have syringes around!

When I was a kid, we used to use the big syringes as squirt guns (w/o needles, obviously).
I remember a little friend of my sisters taking one home with her and her mom called and flipped out.
My mother had to go over and over it with her about how they were clean ones and did NOT have needles on them ever.

I learned how to vaccinate at a young age by giving 'play' shots of water to the barn kitties.
It seemed perfectly normal at the time.
