True Tales: A Nutritious Necklace

An elderly woman entered the store and came up to the repair counter to have some beads restrung. (We frequently have seniors come in with zip lock baggies full of assorted beads and pearls, no longer remembering which are real and which are costume. We sort them out for them). After selecting a few for restringing she presented our clerk with the final bag. She comments, “I know there aren’t enough to make a necklace again but maybe we could make a bracelet.” Upon examination the clerk realizes that they aren’t beads at all, but Vitamin E capsules!
