A Funny Thing Happened OnThe Way Home From the Dodge Dealer....



The funniest thing happened today on the way home from Glendora Dodge today.
I had to leave the truck there overnight -the rear view mirror fell off the window - again . So the serviceman asked the courtesy van driver to take me home.
Well...little did I know that I would be entertained the whole way home! Apparently the driver moonlights as an Elvis impersonator. The hair-do should have tipped me off. He told me all about how he became obsessed (he used the word "interested") with Elvis when he was 13 years old.
He then asked me if I remembered Elvis in, oh, "Blue Hawaii," and when I said yes, he told me the character's name and sang a song from the movie, in Elvis voice no less. Then he asked me about "Harem Scarum," and then "Fun in Alcapulco" or whatever that one was named. With each movie, I heard about the character and then was given a personal concert of Elvis impersonator songs from the various movies.
Cracked me up! I tried really, really hard to be supportive and not to fall over dying of laughter. You can all be proud of me - I waited till I got in the door, and Elvis had left the building, I mean the driveway, and then totally lost it.
Why does this always happen to me????
