Almost famous?

[angboy]

I stopped in a pharmacy in a town half an hour north of me the other day. Anyway, I went to the counter and told the guy there who I was and what I was looking to pick up, since this was my first time in this particular store. So the guy goes back to look for it, and one of the pharmacists, who'd been close enough to overhear, asks "are you Dr. Boykin?", to which I rather suspiciously gave a questioning "yes" reply, trying to figure out if he's someone I'm supposed to know. Then he asks "the one who makes the really nice pens?" to which I again gave a suspicious and questioning "yes?" reply.

Well it turns out his wife was a student at my hospital last fall semester and I gave her a pen when she left, b/c she'd done such a wonderful job for us. So he starts telling me what a nice pen it is and how she uses it all the time. Anyway, it was kind of nice to be recognized. I certainly wasn't expecting it, so I was admittedly kind of suspicious about who the heck this person was at first! (kind of like when I first moved to rural NE and the lady from the welcome wagon came to my house and I thought it must be some kind of scam, didn't think those things existed anymore) This was certainly a nicer thing than some possibilitites to be recognized for!

Angboy,
now that you're almost famous, would it be possible to get an autographed A.B.C. pen before the prices go up too dramatically? Geez just when I thought I could begin to afford your $888.88 hourly rates, you go ahead and become even more famous and distinguished.[] Your pen giving kindness has made you more famous than before. NIce gesture and heartwarming story. Thanks for sharing it here.

THE Dr. Boykin?! Next thing you know, it will be autograph hounds and photographers following you around. [][] Thats pretty cool. It's amazing what something like a gift pen can do.

Ha! I know why you were suspicious. You thought I was involved. [] Don't worry, Angela. My feelers don't reach that far... or do they.[}][]

I was afraid you might have told him about Lola[:X] and Blaze[:X] and that my porn pens were going to end up getting discussed in the middle of the pharmacy! [][]

Scott and Peter- the papparazi [8D] is camped outside my front door right now! Anyone who wants an autograph can contact my rep and she'll see about getting one for you. [][]

Given this world's penchant for loving crudeness you might well have yourself a monopoly on your "Larry Flint Signature Series". Lol, you can have that market!
