may the force be with you.

i was reminded of this scene from "dumb and dumber" today-- actually, many days lately:

in the terminal, lloyd runs full speed toward the plane holding mary's suitcase.
airline person removes the flight sign that reads "171 aspen"
lloyd: HOLD THAT PLANE!
airline person: sir, you cannot go in there.
lloyd: it's ok, i'm a limo driver [while flashing his badge]
camera moves left. there is no plane attached to the jetway. lloyd tumbles out of the end of the tunnel onto the tarmac.
lloyd: ehhhhhhh.

we all wish were were somebody. some of us are somebody's. but acting like you're somebody when you're really nobody is just pathetic. for example:

winco checker: ma'am, i need to see your ID.
girl: well i don't have it.
checker: [holding 6 pack of beer] we card for 35 and younger.
girl: DO YOU CARD FOR 35 OR 21?
checker: i need to see your ID.
girl: well ALBERTSON'S never asks for my ID.
checker: ok....

like, congrats, albertson's knows who you are. you're recognized... at... albertson's.

another example:

all gussied up lady: i need this filled. [hands over a prescription for an inhaler]
rx tech: your doctor wrote "as directed" for the instructions, so we will need to contact her for the specifics.
lady: why?
tech: for insurance purposes, mostly. they like more specific instructions for billing.
lady: oh, it's ok. i'm the drug rep.
tech: yah... we're still going to need to call the doctor.
lady: but i'm the drug rep for that drug.
tech: yah.... we're still going to need to call the doctor.

i mean, saweet you get free drugs and hand out shiny brochures and get paid to suck up to people. i had NO idea drug reps were above the laws of insurance billing...

oh, just go fall out of a plane already, dumbass.
