Silly Sunday: Basketball Poles

Pau Gasol - LA Lakers
Rhonda's Silly Sunday pops up quickly (especially when I post by 4:00 on Saturday) and if you're like me, you need something to laugh at on Sunday because Monday comes next. This week will be particularly painful because it ends my vacation.

Watching the Memphis Grizzlies blast the Houston Rockets on Friday night reminded me of a story from years ago.

My husband stood in line at McDonalds in front of NBA basketball player Pau Gasol. At seven feet tall and 250 pounds, one would think he'd be hard to miss; however, a woman cut in front of him in line.

Pau was too polite to say anything so my husband nudged the lady and said, "You just cut in line."

She looked at him and said, "I thought that was a pole."

Hmmm...she was a bit oblivious. I certainly wouldn't have mistaken him for a pole!

Oh My Gosh!! Totally cracked me up. As I am sprung from Land of the Giants (sadly, I have a recessive short gene) I can understand her confusion..

I once thought a tall person in my peripheral vision was a pole or pillar.

Funny story.
