I ran errands today at lunch. Exciting, I know. However, the content has been rather bleak for the last couple of days. Here to whet your appetite are some random notes:
Note to the guy wearing the "Yankees Suck" t-shirt in Stew Leonard's - Dude, you're not a big guy. By wearing that today it's no longer a matter of "if" you get your ass kicked but rather a matter of "when." You look like you bruise easily. I'm concerned for your safety.
Note to the woman buying a carton of roll-on deodorant at Walgreen's - The weather's starting to cool down considerably. What, pray tell, could a seemingly normal woman need with about twenty sticks of deodorant? Um. Nevermind. The answer can't be anything but disturbing.
Note to the woman holding the door to Dress Barn for me for about three minutes - Lady, I'm not going into Dress Barn. Do I look like a cross dresser? On second thought, don't answer that. I'm actually going into the liquor store next door. Doesn't everyone go to the liquor store at lunch? That's what I thought!

There's nothing for miles. Wait, I did pass a drive up store today that sells hair extensions and braids. I could pick up some of those.
Second, I always buy two sticks of deodorant at a time. I do it for the same reason that I buy two bottles of hairspray and 12 double rolls of toilet paper. I hate shopping, especially since it's not a lunch-time option for me.
Third, the thought of you in a dress with your Chris Elliot beard makes me giggle hysterically. You should buy a black dress with white polka dots and a big white collar - something in the style of little Shirley Temple.

The clerk actually called him out and told him that there was a 2 item purchase limit on that product, so he quickly got out of line and turned the corner. Weird. Upon return he told the clert that another CVS on E street had allowed him to purchase as much deo as he wanted only a few days ago. And all I could think was, you needed MORE deo?
