From Not Always Right: Sherlock Hemlock Solves The Case
(I am the customer in this story. It’s New Year’s Day and my mom’s family has a tradition where one cooks ham hocks and beans for good luck. I’m at the store and can’t find the ham hock.)
Me: “Excuse me.”
Employee: “Yes?”
Me: “Can you tell me where to find the hemlock please?”
Employee: “What?”
Me: “The hemlock.”
Employee: pause “What do you need it for?”
Me: “Oh, my family is coming over today and my mom is going to put it in beans.”
Employee: “Could you describe it for me?”
Me: “Um, it’s a part of a pig, attached to the leg—”
I went to bed at my usual time last night and was woken up by numerous loud bangs. They were close by and I was scared, thought I should call the police. Then looked at the clock and it was 12:01- and I realized it was New Years! Can you imagine if I had called the police! Well, the neighbors had not had a big display like that before!
