I’ve been helping out a friend by doing some job coaching for a few young people as they learn what it means to be employed. The two individuals in the coaching program for this session are really good workers, and as a result, I spend most of my time sitting at the restaurant counter, just being available if they need something.
Here’s the conversation I had with one of our regular customers today:
Kid sitting next to me at the Kremeland counter: I have two dogs.
Me: What kind?
Kid: One’s a black lab and the other is bipolar.
It was all I could do not to fall off of my stool!

If you’re being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then onto a little seesaw, then weave through a bunch of poles. They’re trained for that.
This one really did have me laughing out loud. You can find it in the Signals catalog. The item number is HR6282T for the t-shirt ($19.95) or HR6282S for the sweatshirt ($29.95). Both come in adult sizes medium – XXL. (XXL has a $2 surcharge.)
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
