FAMILY VIDEO

So I went to Family Video the other night. As I was checking out I hear someone who I think is talking to me. I think he said Jay I don’t know for sure. “Hey Bozarth remember me? we were in a typing class together” It’s me John Bergman. Hey how’s it going? I said. Yep I was better than you at typing he said. Yes, good, nice to see you, DORK. I swear he was high and drunk at the same time. The way he was acting even made the gal that was waiting on me laugh. I said you want to hear something funny? He doesn’t know me he knows my brother. Of course I know the guy but he was not in my class I think he was in Jay’s class. When I told the girl that she was laughing harder, she had to turn and tell the other girl the whole story.

So she sees my last name is Bozarth by my account and she said “oh I want to school with an Andrew Bozarth.” Oh cool I don’t know an Andrew Bozarth but cool. Where did you go to high school? Thinking she was a Q.U. student and went to high school out of town. She said she went to Quincy Notre Dame. I said “not with an Andrew Bozarth you didn’t” Yes I think it was Andrew. What year did you graduate? I could tell the questions were getting harder for her. She said 2002. I said Adam, Adam is the one you want to school with. If you look on my account you will see his name. “Do you want to know what he is up to? Oh never mind I said if you didn’t know him why would you care what he is up to.” I told her in 30 years she is going to be that stoned guy that thought he knew me. By this time she is laughing her ass off. So as I was leaving I asked her what her name was. She said tell Adam I said hi, he will remember me. Oh he will huh? You don’t remember him But he will remember you.

I told her I went to school with a lot of girls like that.

Now when I go in she gives me a big smile and calls me by name.

To bad I can’t get Sprout’s to give me a little respect. But that’s another story. We did get 2 free pieces of pie out of it. Well not free it cost us a hour and a half.

I think that stoner is probably better at spelling and proofreading than you, too.

That's a great story. I wonder if Jessica knows that girl. She probably didn't even realize you were cutting her down. I love that! :)

The real puzzler to this story to me is how much Joe and Jay look alike!

**and I will wait a lot longer than a half hour for Sprouts pie(I felt like I won the lottery)***

I love this kind of posting, Joe. You're making fun of people who aren't related to you. Or was she? Maybe she was Pierre Bozart's great-great-great-not-so-great granddaughter.

Joe and Jay are often confused as each other. Just like John and Jane, Kelly and Matt in the early years, Jer and Whoopi, and Jeff and Kevin Costner.

It's sad that everyone remembers a Bozarth...they may just not remember which ONE you are and your name and what you did.....which may not be bad either. or maybe it is working at Family Video that does something to your brain......I still say the safest thing to answer when asked"are you related to "...."Bozarth is to say "Why do you want to know?"

Hell you all look alike to me.

I have to admit that it is uncomfortable when someone mistakes you for someone else. Just the other day I was in bed with Kelly and she yelled out my name. Then I realized she could have been thinking of her ex boyfriend. Or maybe the one before that. O well.


At least I think it was

The real puzzler to me is why Aunt Jer spelled our last name wrong....Bozart Aunt Jer?? Shame on you.

Paulette,
That is what I do! Whenever I get a "Bozarth, are you related to ... Bozarth?", I say "It depends on whether you like them or not." Of course I have found that the Bozarth's are ALWAYS liked... It is surprising how often when I am asked if I am related to a certain Bozarth, the question is always accompanied with a smirk or a laugh!

C'mon Jessi, are you kidding me? Haven't you read the family history? Bozart came over from France in the late 1600s. Wanted to mate with some Germans I think.

That is right Paulette. Just this week the FedEX guy asked if I was related to John, and I said, "you mean the hotsy totsy big time excutive housekeeper at Blessing?". He said no, that guy in Rushville with the Blog...oops.
