Encounters At Publix

Ahoy!

Last night Artie propositioned me to let him have his way with my website today. Seeing as how I can’t resist that sexy beast, here you go:

I know. I know. You can give me grief for not writing an Artie’cle recently, but I am going to really hijack JS.com today.

So here’s my story:

It is almost time for me to leave the office and I have no idea what to cook for dinner. So, I decide to make garlicky tortellini and spinach soup. Anyway, that requires me to make a trip to the grocery store. So, I decide to stop into the Publix next to my office complex.

Unless you are at Club Publix, there usually isn’t too much excitement while shopping for groceries. But things sometimes pick-up when you get to the checkout counter. Instead of the Typical “Paper or Plastic” I hear this:

Bagger: “Mary hasn’t left, she is just on an important phone call.”
Cashier: “Mary’s what?”
Bagger: “She’s on an important phone call.”
Cashier: “Oh, I thought you said she was on a porno call. I guess that wouldn’t be a good thing to do, well, at least not at work.”

Well, it didn’t stop there.

Cashier “I want to go shoe shopping. How about that.”
Me: “Um. Oh. Um, Have fun with that.”
Cashier: ” If you were going shopping for something fancy, what would you buy? Electronics, cars, clothes?”
Me: “I guess I would buy a car”
Cashier: “I could buy a lot of shoes for that.”
Bagger: “You could buy all the shoes in the store.”
Me: “Well, have a good afternoon.”

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Eat garlic.

OSLD: You’ve seen the movie…now play the game!

This guy needs help. Tiddles: Tim’s badly drawn cat website.

The moral of this story: Lay in bed with your feet at the headboard.

    So is that garlicky tortellini and spinach soup thingie all one thing or is the garlicky tortellini and the spinach soup completely seperate? And why do you have to choose between electronics, cars and clothes? Why not have a little of all three so that you get lots of new toys?

    Kathy is awesome and anyone that disagrees deserves to be pooped on by a blue whale.

    KG,
    The garlicky tortellini and spinach soup is one thing. Whoever came up with the recipe first wasn’t that creative I guess. I guess I should rename my version of it.
    It’s not a quesadilla, it is tortillas with cheese and chicken.

    Anyway. I agree. Why not have lots of new toys?
    Aside from the paying for them thing. But if it us a hypothetical question…

    Speaking of hypothetical questions and choices and whales,

    Would you rather be killed by a sperm whale or spermed by a killer whale?

    Killed. I would rather die a physical death than be completely broken emotionally and mentally. And who’s to say that amount of sperm wouldn’t kill you anyway.
