Too hot to handle

A customer at a major chain book store in the Loop today was complaining about everything that passed before her eyes. Flipping to the author’s page of a cookbook, she said, “How old was he when this picture was taken — 12?”

Next she told her companion there was “no way” she was standing in that line. Admittedly, it was a long line, and the store was crowded. Finally, referring to herself, she said, “…Starting to get grumpy because it is so hot in here.”

She didn’t take into account that she was wearing what looked like a down-filled ski jacket, a scarf, a wool hat and gloves. Outside, the Loop was swarming with last-minute Christmas shoppers, all of whom were bundled up tightly and probably counting the seconds until they stepped inside another store to warm up.
