Ha Ha of course we will give you your 5 dollars back, just come over”

My wife and I had a great laugh, and thought that Annette would too, when she read the note. It was dark outside by that time and I walked over and put Grandma Marys’ blender on our friend’s front step with the new funny note inside.

Sunday morning my wife and I kept watch out our front window, knowing Annette always came out to sit on her front step to enjoy her morning coffee and would then see the blender. We were right. What we didn’t expect was that Annette failed to see the humor in our little jest, and tossed the note aside without reading it. Annette is rather tall, and rather athletic and
apparently would have made a good quarterback, as she then hauled back and let loose Grandma Marys’ blender at my front porch. It covered the 25 yards between our houses at a high rate of speed and crashed on the walk, shattering into several pieces, bouncing and skidding to a stop right in front of the front step. Annette then turned and stalked back into her house, slamming the door. My wife and I just looked at each other, surprised

at the unexpected behavior, and deciding we should let Annette cool off a bit before talking to her.

A few minutes later, Annettes’ husband John was at our door, snickering, holding our note. He told us that the blender had thrown an electrical arc when Annette had tried to plug it in, blackening the outlet and scaring the bejesus out of her. John had picked up the note when Annette threw it aside unread, and found it quite funny. His wife ,however, failed to see the humor for about two weeks.
