Just Let Yourself In, Ma'am....

My house is for sale, and I am just out of the shower when.....a woman I do not know appears in my front hall. She explains that she is a neighbor (gee, thanks), that she saw the 'for sale' sign (very observant--it's been there for six months) and she'd like to have a look around. After I manage to close my mouth (which has been hanging agape in disbelief), I say "sure go ahead, but I'm going to dry my hair"(dear reader, you must understand that I am in a state of shock at this point). She walks into my bedroom and when she trips over my shoes shoots me a dirty look. I ask her not to sue. I'm not kidding, and neither is she when she assures me she won't. I proceed to dry my hair, and she completes her self-guided tour of my house. She asks me for the name of my contractor, because she thinks he did a good job. When she leaves, she leaves the front door open behind her. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
Can somebody tell me where these people come from??!!

What Friends Are For

Word is that a well known East Hampton resident whose house is - let's just say barely south of the highway and barely off Georgica Rd. - and is a frequent patron of one of Napeague stretch's finer drinking establishments had his outstanding mortgage paid off to get out of foreclosure by the proprietor of said watering hole. What friends are for indeed...
