My daughter and I were in the bookstore browsing one evening. We were in the magazine section, I was looking for a cooking magazine. I saw a man that I knew there, his name is Dick. Emily was goofing around and said, "Mom, didn't you say that you wanted to pick up the latest issue of Playgirl?" I nervously said, " Be quiet, I know that man, he does handyman things for us at work." " You're going to embarrass me!" She just chuckled and we continued to browse through out the store. I had my purchases and we went to stand in the line at the checkout counter. Dick and his wife were behind us in the line, in this order, a stranger,me, Em, wife of Dick, and good ole Dick himself. I decided that it would be polite to speak to him. So since he was a few people away from me, I lean my head forward in Dick's direction and say loud enough for him to hear me. Hey Dick! Well his wife just kept looking straight ahead and Dick did not acknowledge me at all. So , I'm thinking he didn't hear me. So I yell out Hey Dick, Dick! Still no response. So now I'm thinking this guy is really rude and thought he was a nice guy. Soooooooo, now I am yelling a little bit louder, Dick, Hey Dick !!!! This guy would not respond but his wife gave me a funny look. I'm thinking I pay this man to do repairs and he won't even speak, how dare he! Soooo, I am yelling Hey Dick quite loudly this time! Emily says, mom what are you doing, people are looking at you saying, Dick, hey Dick, he obviously is a jerk! Buttttttt, I made one more attempt to get Dick to acknowledge me! Soooooo, one more time Dick, Hey, Hey--DICK!! And---like magic he spoke--He looked right at me, and said, in a calm voice, "Mam, Who are you?" " I'm not Dick."
I was feeling really stupid, and Emily was laughing hysterically out loud by now. Well what could I do but laugh! I had to apologize and explain who I thought he was and how he must be Dick's twin. The rest of the checkout line was laughing by now! So what would you do if some foolish woman in the check out line was yelling, Hey Dick!
I'll share some other of my foolish moments in upcoming posts!!

lol - If it were any other name, it wouldn't have been as funny.
Btw, I wrote about Dick today as well...two Dicks! :)
When I was reading about your two Dick's, it jogged my memory about my Dick story! I think folks thought I was having a manic episode, just shouting out at people.
Oh embarrassing but you seemed to carry ot off really well. You also probably cheered the queue up too and made their day. Imagine how many times that story got told when they got back home, and the next day at work........
Okay this made laugh real hard only because I can relate to it so well. I know I have known several people in the store only to have them turn around and see that " who the hell are you look on my face."
Fortunately I don't bagger them the way you did. Just kidding.

LOL! Good recovery though. I'll just bet your daughter was doubled over ....
If it had been me, my daughter would have high-tailed it outta the store and headed for another country.
Marla,
I am cracking up here!!
Be careful about shouting "Hey Dick!!" in public.
I wish I could have been there and seen you do that.
What a riot!
So did you say to the man, "Sorry sir, you are not the Dick I thought you were."
I certainly hope you did NOT say that.
:-)
Thanks for a very hearty laugh!!
So, when you found out you didn't know Dick (is that like not knowing Jack?) did you buy the Playgirl? LOL
OH Marla you are wonderful. I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying! I love the way to wrote the whole episode down.
Life is full of funny moments.
this one made my morning! Like Paul, if it had been my daughter and me, she would have pretended not to know me, and taken off somewhere.
Well, I suppose I would have been totally embarassed and turning red by now.......Oh!
I did this very same thing yesterday at the store. One of the HV employees was in my line and I said, "Congratulations on your new baby." He looked at me and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't have a new baby."
I had confused him with someone else! I wanted to crawl under the counter!
Yeah, wrong name to be yelling. But really funny. Also you wrote it down funnily.
Oh Gosh..this is so funny and what a name 'DICK' I mean ;) Hope the real Dick appear soon.
Hey Marla, can I have your email address please? Mine is shionge@hotmail.com

I used to be able to get to your blogs to read them, I can't view them now. Can you let me in, pleasse?
I loved it! Hysterical!...I wish I would have been with you. I posted something similar that happened to me in September "Mistaken Identity" Check it out if you can.
I will say I have been there and done that before, and agree it is very embarrassing. Did you tell the "real" Dick what you did?

But for all I found this location selling them for the benefit of half price. I really love these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will definetly order those. what is your opinion?
