Trying That Russian Medicine
(I am picking up groceries with my family. While we are checking out, I notice an old man behind us in line with both hands bandaged.)
Me: “Excuse me; can I help you check out?”
Old Man: “Why? Is it because I’m OLD?!”
Me: “Um…”
Old Man: “You young people assume I can’t do anything just because I’m old! I’m still perfectly capable of unloading my own— Oh. You were talking about my hands, weren’t you?”
Me: “…yes.”
Old Man: “That’s okay, then, young lady. I’m fine as long as I can hold my vodka in one hand and the TV remote in the other.”
(He proceeded to make conversation with me while I hid behind my uncle, mortified.)
