Old Person Award

This award goes to the funniest elder that I happen to pass at anytime.

Today I was walking through the Eaton's Centre, it was raining outside. Now as I was just leaving Sears I saw this old lady approaching the Wish Station (a Sears display for Christmas gift ideas). This is the interaction between the lady and and the saleswoman.
Mind you, the lady was about 70 and had an english accent.
Lady: "Excuse miss, but is this a wish station?"
sales: " Yes ma'am, it is."
Lady: " Excellent! In that case I would like to wish for... some tuna melts"

Now for those of you who know of my habit of mishearing things this is how the rest of the conversation happened.

sales: " Um, excuse me? Tuna melts?"
Lady: " Yes dear, that is correct. I wish for tuna melts"

Now I rarely mishear the exact same thing twice so I'm positive of what I heard. I kept walking before I heard how the saleswoman handled the situation.

This is a tru story. I could not make it up. Well, actually I probably could with my fellow story collaborators (you know who you are). But I swear on my left nut that this is true.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good tuna melt!
