I've spoken about this before however, this is the best place for this true story.
I have several elderly customers who ctually cannot afford to have an appliance repaired, etc.
This is what my business is~~appliance repair.
I have one certain customer like this for whom I've done several things and have never charged her.
The last time I went there, as I was packing up my service truck, one of those two axe handle wide hausfrau neighbor ladies waddled over to tell me that she knew what I did for her neighbor and that I would surely go to heaven as, I was so "xtian" like.
I looked her in the eyes and told her that I am an atheist.
With wide startled eyes, she looked at me and actually said, "You're going to go to hell."
It was all I could do to not crack up laughing in her face.
