My friend Betty signed up for the 2010 Pasadena Marathon because I promised to train with her and to run the entire race with her... and because she was able to register at an all-time low fee of $45.
The day started out as rainy and overcast. Probably because of this, Betty had to blow her nose intermittently throughout the race, but she had only brought a couple of tissues with her. (Pocket space is very limited while running a marathon especially with the 10 packets of Gu, Icy Hot pads, and gloves she already had in her pockets.) So, after each use of her tissue, she put it back in her pocket.
At around mile 18, Betty pulled out the same tissue she had been using since the start of the race. By this time, she was pretty tired and started thinking out loud. She said, "Wow! I can't believe this Kleenex has lasted so long. Every time I pull it out of my pocket, it's dry again. What a loyal Kleenex to have stuck with me for so long. Eunice is loyal like this Kleenex because she's sticking with me for this whole race."
For a moment, I was speechless. I have never been compared with a Kleenex before!
But before I could say anything else, Betty started talking again, "Hmm... maybe this is a good way to save paper. Maybe even at home, I'll keep reusing my Kleenex."
Again, I am not quite sure what to say. Maybe... gross!
Thanks Betty!
You're loyal like a Kleenex too!
Hahaha!
