Heard This Week on the Massage Table

Last week a client that been coming to my business, for couples massage for many wedding anniversaries, called to see if I still offered this service. I explained that I wasn't set up for this any longer and I told her try a massage chain(that shall remain unnamed). She thanked me and we hung up. Some time passed and she called to ask if I would be able to work on her and her spouse back to back. Scheduled. Boom.

The evening of the massage came and when it was the husband's turn, he told me the story of how the couples massage that really wasn't a couples massage came to be. He said his wife had called and booked the couples massage at the place I recommended and when she told him, he had instructed her to call and cancel the other appointment if I was free. I was and they came to see me. He told me that he explained to her that whenever he went somewhere else for massage, he always left feeling like he had just wasted his money and he regretted not waiting for my next opening. So they opted to go back to back and get a better massage.

 I can't tell you how honored I feel.









A friend and I went to a Mexican joint and I was describing the comedy to one of my regular clients. There was an item on the menu that I was not familiar with "Barbacoda" was how it was listed on the menu, so I asked the waitress what "barbacoda" was. The waitress(who was not Mexican) was quick to correct my pronunciation with "It's supposed to be barba CO UH" and then she just stopped talking. I looked at my friend and we blinked and smiled. Friend says "Well now that you've told us how to pronounce it, can you tell us what it IS?" Waitress does and leaves to place our order and we howl about it she was quick to correct me but slow on the description.

Client says "Sounds like she had a big ole tortilla chip on her shoulder!"

We both laughed hysterically.
