A strange thing happened to me the other day when I went to Alpha
Beta. As I was in the check-out line, I noticed a woman staring at
me. She asked me if my name was Earnest. I said, No, it isnt. She
said I looked just like her long lost son, whose name was Earnest. I
said that I was very sorry to hear that. She showed me a picture of
him and there was some resemblance. She then asked me: Do you mind if
I call you Earnest? I replied: Well yes, I do. I said to myself:
What is this woman doing? As she stepped out, I notice her waiting
for me. So when I stepped out, she mumbled something but I just
kept going. She started yelling: wait! I quickly put my groceries in
the car and as I was getting into the drivers seat, she began pulling
on my leg, just like Im pulling yours.
