Jobe05…. The pantyhose thing made me laugh, or maybe it was what I have done with pantyhose in the past………. I have to share this story with you, and I hope it isn’t one of those “I guess you just had to be there stories”, because it was very funny. First a little history: Several years ago I worked in an office with two other women, in a correctional facility (our sense of humor can be a little warped)
and we always made fun of one lady who continuously had holes and runs in her pantyhose.

I believe anyone can have a bad day; it just sucks when it’s your turn and it was my turn. I came to work with two different shoes on (they were both black if that makes it any better),
and anyway it was their turn to make fun of me. This day just happened to be the Thursday before Easter, and we did exchange gifts for every occasion. Now remember this was a bad day and getting late when I remembered I needed to have gifs to bring for them in the morning, that’s when the idea hit me, I could take all my old pantyhose and weave them into Easter baskets…… only the best for my friends, right? I tossed all my old pantyhose into the washer (with a lot of bleach) and headed to the store and bought some of those bright colorful plastic eggs and wrapped candy to fill them with, I was trying to be a little considerate, I knew the pantyhose hose thing would be a little creepy. I cut all the legs and feet off the old pantyhose and weaved two very cute baskets (well at least in my opinion) I did weave in a little ribbon for decoration.
The next morning I came to work all dressed up and as I walked into the office I did a little twirl showing off my matching shoes, and explained that I had even disposed of any old pantyhose with holes in them as I pulled the baskets out of a sack. I just wish I had a video to show you, because words can’t even begin to describe the look on their faces, it went form shock
, to disgust, then hesitation as to rather they should even touch the baskets, then the laughter began.
That was one of the days we laughed so hard we had tears rolling down our faces. It was a wasted day, everyone from every department had to come look at the baskets and the laughing would start all over again.
Sorry for the long post, but hey only the best for my friends, right?
