Initially Speaking

Early today I had to use my initials, TJD, on a piece of paper.

The person at the counter looked at them, then at me, before asking, “Is this some sort of an effing joke, ‘cuz if it is it isn’t funny!”

Looking at her, I asked, “Is what a joke? “

“These so-called ‘initials?’” she exclaimed.

“So-called?” I returned.

“These are Donald Trump’s initials in reverse,” she stated.

“No, they aren’t,” I shot back, “They’re mine and in the correct order, too. Now get me your manager!”

“Why so you can whine about how I caught your little scam?” she asked.

“Yeah,” I answered.

After explaining what happened to the manager, I watched as she fired her on the spot. I left the store with the knowledge that it’s going to be a very long four years.
