I win one

Yesterday as we were running errands, I bought a pair of handkerchiefs.

Later, we were puttering around putting away our purchases. I took the bar code stickers off of the handkerchiefs and, true to form, stuck them on Miz Becky's shoulders. "Look, now you have epaulets!" She gave me a look and proceeded to ignore me.

Later yesterday evening, we were having dinner at a local place. We had been there for 40 minutes or so when I glanced at Becky's shoulder and snorted.

"What?"

"You, uh, still have your epaulets on."

"Oh, crap!" She turned bright red and grabbed the stickers off of her shoulders. "The waitress must think I'm insane!"

I, meanwhile, am unable to respond to this easy opening, because I'm laughing so hard.

Becky sighs. "OK, damn you, you won one."
