TRUE STORY, I couldn’t make this stuff up if I wanted to…..So, my phone rings…Hey It’s John* your tenant downstairs. I rolled my eyes assuming a pipe sprung a leak or something broke. I forced a fake smile and politely said “Yes?” John replied, “Do you know how high the ceiling is in the living room?” “No…I’m not sure, Why?” “I need to put up a pole.” Curiously, I asked “a stripper pole???” “Un huh, yeah,” he casually replied. “Ummm I have a tape measure, I can measure my ceiling, which I’m sure is the same height as yours.” He patiently waited as I fumbled with the tape measure. “Looks like it’s about 9 Feet High” I said. “Okay, Great! Thanks!” “Ummm okay, thank you.”
*Names have been changed to protect the freaky neighbor downstairs.

Jenn, when I told my sister, she said “So, the next time he tells you to come and fix a pipe, you’ll know what he’s talking about!” HA! LOL!
