So I got this card in the mail today! See it here in its upside down mode. And here in its upside up mode. And finally here laying on it's sideways side mode. Anyways I was trying to figure out why I got this in the mail today. It says PANTONE on it. What's PANTONE supposed to be? I know what the pan part is. It's for cooking stuff in or you can pan for gold if that's your thing. And I know what a tone is. People are always saying to me "Tone it down a bit" whenever I'm toning too much. But what's a PANTONE?
So, I jumped into my vehicle. Well, I didn't actually jump. That's just an expression. I climbed into... No that's not it either because I really wasn't climbing into my vehicle. You climb a mountain but you don't climb a vehicle. So, I got into my vehicle and took off. Well, I didn't actually take off anything. I just drove off. And I was looking for some dudes who did house and building painting to ask them about my card that I got in the mail today. Because it also said "Whisper Pink" on it. I don't know what "Whisper" has to do with a colour but I know "Pink" when I see it. And I figured that since I know that pink is a colour that I'd ask some painter guys, who use colours all the time when they're doing their painter thing, if they could explain the card to me and why I got it in the mail. So I'm driving around town, well it's actually a city, but if I said "So I'm driving around city" it wouldn't make much sense, so I'll just say I'm driving around town, looking for painter guys doing some painting stuff. Can't find anybody doing painting. So I go back home to my abode and go find a phone book to look for painter guys. I look for "painter guys" under the phone book's p's (I'm no dummy - I know painter starts with a "p" and that's where you'd look for painter guys - but I can't find none listed in the phone book under the words "painter guys".)
What to do? I'll take another drive around to see if I can't spot some painter guys. And talk about luck. I find some guys painting the words "KEEP OUT" on a sign attached to a fence surrounding a tall building. So I walk up to the painter guys with my PANTONE card clutched in my sweaty hand, in order to ask them why I got the card in the mail today. And one of the painter guys, a big burly guy, points to the "KEEP OUT" sign he's painting and says "Hey, can't you read?" And I says, "Sure I can read. I'm no dummy. I already figured out I'm no dummy cause earlier today I knew to look for you painter guys in the phone book under p's. And I said to myself at that exact moment while scanning the p's "I'm no dummy". Knew to look in the p's." "But, guess what, here's the funny part. Well, it's not actually funny because I didn't laugh. It's more along the lines of 'here's the strange part'. In the phone book, you painter guys aren't in the p's." And the guy looks at me like "What're you talking about?" And I'm thinking "Now who's the dummy?" but I didn't say it out loud because this guy is big and did I mention he was burly?
So I hold up the card that I got in the mail today and said to the big guy, "Why did I get this card in the mail today? It's got painting blurbish on it". And he turns the card over on to the other side and says "It's a postcard you idiot that someone sent to you. It's got writing on the back." "Oh!" I says sheepishly. "So it's got stuff on the back of the card", I realize. Well, I realized it after the burly guy pointed it out to me. "Well, thanks for your help" I says and I scooted off before the big guy could call me an idiot again. "Okay", I'm thinking, "I've got to get back to my abode and figure this card out since I now know it's got stuff on its backside."
Finally at home, I read the back of the card. First thing I see is the word "Surprise!" Well, that's an understatement. Talk about the trouble this card has been giving me. I had to drive all over town (yeah, I know, it's actually a city) to find out why I got this PANTONE thing in my mailbox. Boy, getting stuff in my mailbox sometimes makes me grumpy. Like Forrest Gump said in that movie he was in "Life is like a box of grumpiness" or words something like that. And I can't remember the name of the movie that Forrest Gump guy was in. It's on the tip of my tongue. It'll come to me sooner or later. Anyway I looked over the rest of the card. And it says "Thanks for including your return address on the Thanksgiving card to me". So, that's how sneaky u/crispyvuitton knew where to send this troublesome card. I'll have to keep an eye on her.
And then the card has more on it. It says "I hope you are having a great fall so far." Well, let me tell you, I've had many falls in my lifetime, but none of them have been great. I usually say "Ow" a lot as I'm getting up. But I never say "Boy that was great". And why does the card say "fall so far". Gee, it's bad enough hoping I'd fall and have a great one, at that, but to say "fall so far". Am I supposed to tumble to the ground and then continue to fall further down a hill until I've fallen "so far"? Well, I'll have to ponder this card for a while but in the meantime I can guarantee you I'm not going to have any great fall.
Well that's it for today. Oh yeah, I guess I'd better say thanks for the card crispyvuitton. Since this is supposed to be a Thank You. It's been... um interesting. And another oh yeah before I trot off to do other stuff. If anybody happens to know the name of the movie that Forrest Gump character was in, give me a shout out. Because it's right on the tip of my tongue.
