Sir Galahad

Earlier this week I was standing in the check out line at the grocery store. A friendly older man asked me if I was driving that day. At first I thought maybe I appeared intoxicated when I was just happy but just smiled and said yes, sir.

(always call really old people sir or madam)

The man said "well, young lady are you driving with your lights on in this rain and don't tell me they come on automatically!" I assured him I drove with my lights on in the rain and fog. Then he said "I have driven 2 million and 457 miles without an accident. Did you hear that? and repeated the statistic. Naturally I said "wow, good for you!" and wished him a pleasant day.

A few minutes later as I was loading my groceries into the backseat of my car, the same man pulled up. This time he got out and said "young lady, do you know who Sir Galahad was?" I said "yes, sir I bet it's you" as he helped me load the groceries in my car in the pouring rain. I asked him his name - Richard - and he told me that he liked people.

Now that is a sweet man who deserves to be called Sir Galahad Sir.
