annie Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 and applies now in the days of terrorism.. I got the mumps from a patient at age 24, had to be quarantined at home, needed cash to get a pizza (this was the days before ATMs) and called the bank to tell them I was coming (there were no drive up windows either). I said I would be the girl with the mask on (medical mask) and they said, "Don't you dare come in here with a mask on, security will haul you out"....

I hardly ever take baths anyway, but that one is still pretty funny. The other weird one they listed is that it's illegal to get on public transportation in Gary within four hours after eating garlic, or something like that. Which I think is only considerate of the other riders, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
