Fun with a coworker

Over the last four years I've mowed a lot of lawns. The one big lawn I did was actually a graveyard. To keep my sanity (what little of it there is) I would talk to the "residents" while I mowed. (I suppose that is evidence of more insanity then sanity, but oh well.) I'd say excuse me or on a break just stop and talk. A lot of times it was just for kicks and kept me smiling.

My routine before mowing the graveyard was to take my water and long sleeve t shirt (the weather could turn cold very quickly), put it on a headstone, tell the "resident" to watch it and to make sure that their neighbor didn't steal it. I always got a kick out of this. So one day I allegedly did my routine and when I stopped mowing for a drink I couldn't find my water. Understandably, I was a little freaked out. I'd been talking to these headstones and all the sudden it seemed that they were playing games with my mind. As it turns out I had forgotten to take the water out of my car. That night at work I was telling a coworker this story. She thought I was strange to begin with (as do a lot of people) and so I knew I could really have some fun. I explained to her my routine and that when I went to the headstone I thought I had put it on and it wasn't there I got mad at the "resident" because they had let one of the other residents steal my water. Understandably I couldn't get anyone to tell me who took it :-) and so I went up to my car. One of the residents actually had taken my water off the gravestone and snuck it back up to my car. All without me seeing it! So I say this to this lady. She looks at me and says. "You're on drugs." Because I've been taking medication for the last 20 plus years I was able to say "Yes I am!" :-) That was a fun night! Playing with peoples minds can be quite enjoyable!
