This is probably a long shot and a way to waste points. It was such a funny (true) essay, called, "Me Go Now." It was something like how Dave Barry writes. It would have been before most of you were even born. Probably late 60's to 70's. I rescued the mag one day when I was in the school library and they were throwing out old issues. Found the artile and thought I would need CPR to catch my breath from laughing. It was about an office workerker. The big guys were getting them prepared for a visitor who was
A Very Important Person. The writer kept his foot in his mouth, until the last line, he had made so many blunders...everyone was horrified. After a last blunder, he said, "Me go now...." and walked out. I know my description isn't so funny, but I would love to find that article. Lately, I've needed lots of laughs. YahooQ&A helps, of course!

Well, how dumb....I didn't say what I wanted. I want to FIND the article or at least know who wrote it. I loaned it to someone if they promised to return it, and of course, that didn't happen. Sorry it take me so many words to explain myself.

You can purchase old archives. The college I go to has reader digest archives online. But they pay for them.

Looking for a story about a man who cleaned a family's shoes as they prepared to attend a funeral. He didn't send flowers or bring food. He did what he could do. This was his service for the family. I think the name of the article was, "I'm Here to Clean Your Shoes." Maybe "I've Come to Clean Your Shoes." Not sure, but I would LOVE to have a copy. I think of it every time a friend or relative suffers a loss.

I'm so happy to have found this thread! I love this story, and anytime I leave the house I tell my husband and my son, "Me go now." I have been wanting to find this story myself so that my son can read it. I'd like the full version of the story - I've only read the condense version - but I'm not sure if that is possible.

"Me Go Now" was the funniest thing I ever read. I still have the article from Reader s Digest.

Go to the RD website and check in archives. Or shoot them a mail asking where you could locate old articles in your town.
Am sure its out there somewhere and you jsut have to think of how you can get to it.

I have no idea what you mean.
At least you'll get 3 points back when you choose a 'best answer'.
