Passing It Forward

Me: “How are you today, sir?”

Customer: “Ahhhhh… well, I’m pretty good now!”

Me: “Now?”

Customer: “I’ve just had a horrible stomach ache all day, but I just farted and I feel much better!”

Me: “That’s… nice…”

(The relieved customer leaves, but another customer approaches. They’re unaware of the previous conversation.)

Another customer: “Can you smell something? Do you think it’s the meat? Does it smell off to you?”

Me: “No, miss. I don’t think it’s the meat.”
