Me: This is Sherri.
Costco: This is Amber with the photography department. We have some film that you dropped off in 2012 that needs to be picked up. This is a courtesy call to let you know you have 7 days to pick it up and then your memories will be destroyed.
Me: Huh. You are going to destroy my memories?
Costco: Well, I mean we are going to destroy the film and the VHS tape.
Me: There is a VHS memory?
Costco: Yes. Do you remember dropping this off? It says, "60th Birthday" on the label. Do you remember that?
Me: Do I remember my 60th birthday? No.
Costco: (With hand over receiver) Put it in that box. I don't think this one is going to remember this call in the morning. (To me.) Okay. Well, we have it. We will keep it for 7 days. Thank you. (click)
TODAY AT COSTCO
Me: Hi. Amber called me last night about some film to be picked up?
Amber: Oh, that was me.
Me: Great.
Amber: (Looking puzzled.) You look younger than I thought you would.
Me: Really? Why is that?
Amber: Well, you just didn't remember your 60th so I thought you might be older than that.
Me: Nope not older and I heard you say I wasn't going to remember this in the morning. You should maybe try muting next time.
Amber: (Embarrassed.) Oh, yeah, I should. You do look good for 60 by the way.
Me: Thanks Amber.
Moral of the story? When leading people astray try not to lead them down a path they can't get themselves off of.
(BTW, it was a VHS tape of Eve's 60th birthday in 1990.)
