"Dont give up 5 minutes before the Miracle"

The Today Show is my alarm clock in the morning.

When i hear it come on, I know i better start making moves if i am going to walk out of the door 60min later.

While I am getting ready for the daily grind, I listen to the stories of the day. Many of the posts on this site were inspired by segments from The Today Show. And this post is no exception.

I there for bring to you.....

Now i know what you are thinking....That lady makes me want some Oatmeal!!!

But no that's not what this story is about.

Pictured above is Susan Myers and this is her story.

Mrs. Myers tragically lost her husband a couple of weeks back.

While putting her husband of 54 years (wow!!!) to rest, she passes out, due to some type of diabetic condition.
Well, she never recovers, so they take her to the hospital. While in the hospital her children come along and proceded to remove her wedding ring, a pearl necklace, and another wedding ring that Susan's dad gave to her mom. One of the kids decides to place those items in a rubber glove for safe keeping.

Well, somehow, the glove turns up missing. After frantically searching the hospital, they come up empty, all the while, Susan B. Anthony, I mean Myers is knocked out.

In steps the hospital Janitor, Frank Dabney, who advises them that the shit is probably in the trash. And the trash man has already made the rounds.

What happens next is just plain ol'.....dedication.

Somehow they were able to contact the sanitation dept and have them dump the hospital garbage in a separate section of the land fill. Mr. Dabney, probably not wanting to be at work anyway, helps them out by going with them on the 'treasure hunt'.

I wonder how hard they had to beg him to come.

"Excuse me sir. We have lost my mother's jewelry"

"I threw that cheap sh!t in the trash last night."

"Oh no!!! It was my mother's wedding ring and pearl necklace. We have to find it."

"Well lets go to the land fill."

"You dont mind digging through trash???"

"I'm a Janitor, Beeotch...Digging through trash is my pleasure!!!"

Just when the Myers had lost hope (they videotaped the search..wtf!?!?!), Mr.Dabney gives them a piece of ol' folks wisdom...

"Dont give up 5min before the miracle"

Huh?!?!

What the hell does that mean, Uncle Remus???

i wont even try to understand that.

Regardless, they find the jewelry and for his hard work and dedication, and words of wisdom, Mr. Dabney gets a $1000 reward.

Not bad. As a matter of fact thats great, because if i had been the janitor.....

"Excuse me sir. We lost our mother's jewelry."

"Damn Shame...GET OFF MY FLOOR B!TCH...I got some mopping to do"

"But sir we need your help!!!" .

*SMMMMAAAACK*

"I told you...You should have given up 5min before the mop slap..now look at you"
I'm just kidding. I would have helped, but the minute they decided to go digging through a land fill... .

"Anybody Seen the Janitor.........."

...but i could be wrong
