HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELVIS!

Today is "The King's" birthday. In honor of this special day, I will share my favorite Elvis Story.

It seems that in the early 70's, BC and I both (not married yet) were working at a local bank. The area bankers had a monthly meeting in Monroe which was about 30 miles East of Ruston. The bank president and all of the officers rode together to the meeting-I certainly regret that none of the "women" were invited along (NOT!).

A couple of the bank employees, my age, called in sick the same day. Well these things do happen and nothing was thought about it. Turns out there was an Elvis concert in Monroe the same night as the Banker's meeting. As BC, the bank president, and all of the officers drove to Monroe on the interstate that connects our two cities, they passed a familiar car. They all looked over as they went around the car, and there they were- the two "SICK EMPLOYEES"-on their way to the Elvis concert. The bank president and all of the officers looked over and there were the girls puffing away on their cigarettes headed to see "The King". The "Girls" looked over and saw the bank officers-GOT YOU!

The next day the "sick" girls showed up for work. I am certain they spent the day dreading being called in on the carpet. The Bank President played it SOOOO cool-HE NEVER SAID A WORD! YOU HAVE GOT TO LOVE IT!

Happy Birthday, Elvis!
