3. When I Worked the Service Desk at Kmart...

...part of my job was making announcements over the PA with my deep, baratone voice. We had a helium tank there for filling baloons, and every once in a while I would suck down some helium before making an announcement.

"Attention, Kmart shoppers" sounded so strange that way.
