One time I went to a good friends house for the usual hang out, beers on a Friday night. We had little ones at the time and its always a good way to end the work week.
On the kitchen counter is a baggie of the colorful magnetic letters that are common in homes with kids age 2-9 (you know, the ones on every fridge). Anyway, I asked why she had em in a baggie, assuming one of the kids was eating them or something. My friends wife, who I love dearly, with a straight face said "Well, I'm sending these back, there are supposed to be 2 of each letter and they weren't all there, so they have already sent a new set, its on the way, take these for your kids"
She is a pitbull when it comes to consumer affairs and I was curious as to what letters would be in such demand that someone in the supply chain would be pilfering this one exotic letter, thinking of a black market of sequestered, high value magnetic letter being traded somewhere in the far east, or maybe New Jersey.
She started to pull out the letters, "Its funny, I have 2 of each one, but not one "lower case "d", and you know what? they gave me two extra "p"s, they must be idiots there"
I couldn't help myself, I placed one of the "extra "p"s on the fridge, and spun it upside down, she looked at me like I had just invented cancer.
My buddy (an editor at a major magazine) just sighed and handed me a beer as we went out for a smoke.
