Another Stoopid Tuxedo Rental Story, but this one's worth the read
My youngest sister is getting married this weekend. Yes Donger, married.
The whole Janko clan is standing up. Mama is the matron of honor, Andrew's the ring bearer and Toad is handing out programs and orchestrating the adult beverages for the reception.
Today I was on the phone whining to my Mom when the 2nd line beeped in. I didn't have time to look at the Caller ID, I just answered. (It was Men's Wearhouse/Whorehouse)
Janko: Hello!!!!
Men's Whorehouse Worker sounding all serious, in her mid 40s: Hi, is Andrew there?
Janko: Ahh, no. He's in school right now. This is his Mom. Can I help you with something?
MWW: Yea. Andrew's tux is ready and we'd like him to come in and try it on. Could you give him the message, please?
Janko: Ahhh. Yes, I will tell him.
MHW: Oh, and can you make sure he knows we'd like him to come up as soon as possible. We're open til 9 tonight.
Janko: Sure, just so you know, Andrew usually practices his upper and lower case letters when he gets off the bus at about 4:30, then we have dinner, he showers and he's in bed by 8:30. It'll be no problem for him to be there by 9.
MHW: Great. If he could get here by 9 that would be helpful.
Janko (wondering if the woman heard ANYTHING that I said): Okay. Hey, do you know if Gregg will be workin tonight?
MHW: You mean the manager, Greggory? I'm not sure what his schedule is. If he's workng til close he might be taking a late lunch.
Janko: (wondering why it matters when Greggory takes his lunch, and oh shit. There really is a Gregg working there!)
MHW: Can I give Greggory a message for you or something?
Janko: No, I'll just look for him tonight.
MHW: Have a good night. Please make sure to give Andrew the important message!
First things first, I need a name for a female Gregg. Toad tells me Gregg is not gender specific but it sounds weird to call a woman a Gregg.
The woman has Andrew's size in front of her. Did she think he was a grown man with a waist of 19 inches and 4 feet tall?
We never went to get the tux. We hit the Dollar Tree and Andrew bought a rifle set with his college money.
