Ten Gallons of Fun


Today, a gentleman came into the medical clinic where I work. I work the front desk and had my head down filling out some paperwork when he arrived, just after I got back from lunch.
"How can I help you?" I asked without immediately looking up.
I looked up to see a real live cowboy wearing a black 10 gallon hat, a foo manchu moustache and small round glasses.
For a split second I thought he might be a joke, but soon realized he was the real deal. He looked like he had just finished filming a western movie and stopped by for an exam. He was very nice as you would expect a real live cowboy to be.
I had to get a copy of his drivers license for his chart and I wasn't surprised to see what was under his 10 gallon hat .......a 10 gallon head.
I maintained composure and did not make one comment about his hat. It took a great amount of self control, but I did it.
He made my day. :o)

  8. BFKAS: He was the real deal and would have stuck out like a sore thumb in Miami!

    Jamie Dawn: I would have cracked up if had called me Little Darlin! (that is what my dad calls me!)

    Ponder: a 10 gallon head is what is under a 10 gallon hat. his head was long and tall and his hair looked a bit pointy...bad case of hat hair.
