Hot Pants

I went to the dry-cleaners this morning to pick up David's pants. I explained the receipt was lost, apologized and gave our last name.

The clerk asked if I was on the account (I've never been asked this before) and said no.

She told me David would have to pick up the pants.  

I explained that wouldn't work.  

She went to talk to the manager.

When she returned, I learned why picking up dry-cleaning requires a background check...a woman had come in a few weeks ago to pick up her husband's dry-cleaning. 

However, they were separated.  (The dry-cleaner didn't know this.)

The wife burned all of his clothes.

My name has now been added to the account.
