Reminds me of my situation, they call me a magician, because when I play uke in public, I can make audiences disappear!
Har har har! Good one!

This string walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a beer. The bartender says "I can't serve you, you're just a string." The string thanks him and leaves the bar. He goes out back and ties himself into a knot and unwinds his fibers at the ends. He walks back into that bar and asks the bartender for a beer, and the bartender looks at him and says "aren't you that string that was just in her trying to buy a beer?" The string says "No, I'm a frayed knot."

At least in the USA, "greenies" were amphetamines and they were used extensively in Major League Baseball.

Those under age 50 may not get the context even if you've endured the manufacturer's incessant TV ads. This original ditty is for everyone else:
ODE TO THE CUBICAL CARDBOARD CONTAINER
Leaving the UPS Store, I felt justly proud.
‘One more box checked!’ I mentally allowed.
The following morning, vague anxiety set in.
Worried, I strode to the rubbish bin.
That nagging fear was affirmed with one look,
At the top of Page 3 in the instruction book.
I silently cursed myself. 'What a dumb, careless git!'.
I’d left the name sticker off my bucket of xxxt.
Cheers!

That’s what the pills MattieK is describing were, too. I have family who worked for Pacific Bell and says those pills were infamous.

That's too funny. First time I've ever used the term LOL, and I mean literally. "TOUCHDOWN!"

OMG, do you have a "smart" phone with a dumb text that guesses? I know there is voice activated text that reads like a three day drunk typed it. For some phones you can get a keyboard that plugs into the phone some way.
A few months ago, a former girl friend tried to get back in my life. With her work schedule she never gets a day off and she's on call. That makes things near impossible. Throw in that she liked to call me late every night, and insisted on her voice text, not talking! She can talk to the phone but not me?
I have a flip phone so texting is slow and makes my finger sore! After a month of that I sent my last text telling her to forget it. I never once saw her the whole month (she texted me a selfie, wow) I wanted to hear her, not read her. She got POed and blocked my number. Oh well, I blocked her back. Not a peep for three weeks.
What is it about texting? Remember the cartoon of a couple texting each other across a table at McDonald's?
We have this weird job connection. We both drove buses. You worked for Northwestern Bell. My passed wife worked for Bell Atlantic / Verizon.
