flip flops......

ok, so i got nuttin against women who have jobs so carefree that flipflops are allowable worktime footwear.....it is only the sound of flipflops....flopping....against poorly padded concrete that really gets my goat.......the sound reverbs.....and elevates the descriptive...annoying...to a new level.......and so it i was greatly amused when i dropped my thursday health department mail off at the post office....and there was a soccer-mommish kind of person...wearing flipflops.....in a heated discourse with the postmaster.....about why she could not mail party invites handprinted on.....flipflops........she had gone to a great deal fo trouble to letter the particulars on the tops....and the addresses on the bottoms.......that was clearly visible from where i stood.......but the postmaster was not to be moved by either the cleverness of the concept....nor the precision of the printing......and i wondered why the woman didn't just drive around the county and deposit said shoes personally in the desired mailboxes........and save herself from the spectacle she was creating....at closing time in any post office there is always a line....and this one was enthralled with the goings-on..........
