Foot With a Side of Foot.

Some people boggle the mind.  You have met one or two I am sure.  I am talking about the characters that just continue to put their foot in their mouths repeatedly.   Don't get me wrong, I have been guilty a time or two in my life, but I try really hard to think before I speak. 

Today I went to Walgreens to pick up a couple of items.  I had my daughter in one arm, and my goods in the other.  I make my way up to the cashier minding my own business.  There was a guy (around 22-25 years old) in front of me.  I heard the cashier say something about him having an unusual combination of items, but I wasn't really paying too much attention.

After she rang him up, they both turned and looked at me.  The cashier laughed, and the guy looked like he wanted to run away.  Once I noticed, I looked up and said, "huh"?  The cashier started laughing and said, "well he is buying a toothbrush and a box of condoms and I told  him that it was better than the alternative and pointed at you since you have a baby".  Wow!!! That poor guys face turned all different shades of red right before my eyes!!

First of all, you know he was hiding the box of condoms all through the store hoping that nobody noticed.  Only to have the cashier make a public announcement about it right in front of everyone in ear shot!!  I felt bad for the poor fellow as he grabbed his bag (with apparently condoms and a toothbrush in it) and did the walk of shame out the door.

As I approached the counter, the cashier repeatedly tried to assure me that she wasn't trying to make a jest with me as the butt.  Okay, whatever just ring up my crap so I can be done already, it is my baby's nap time!!  I think she knew that everyone was feeling awkward at this point, so she was trying to make small talk.  She asked me how old my daughter was....and then said, "It looks like your almost due for your next one, when is your due date"?  WHAT???  DUNDERHEAD!!! 

So I then grabbed my bag of goodies and did my own walk of shame without saying a single word to her.  What I really wanted to say I will keep to myself, but it looks a little bit like this: *@$&-#%!-%^&$#!!!!!!   

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. -FRANK ZAPPA
