April 27

Walked to the Post Office in town. As I made my way to the self-service machines, a woman standing at the parcel window shouted at the top of her voice: "Is there any chance I could get some help here?!" A bemused assistant said she would be over in just a minute, to which the woman replied loudly: "Thank goodness for that, I can't stand here much longer." She was so old she probably meant it literally.
