"Have you completely forgotten, silly head? We're going to the market."

So, I goes down to the grocery store today (Easter Sunday, arguably the holiest day of the Christian calendar) to pick up some milk, juice and a ball of Mozza (rella, not unleavened bread). The place is packed.

I spend two minutes picking up my items. After fifteen minutes in the Express lane I says to the cashier 'Well, I guess we know now what's sacred in our society'.

'No $hit!' she wittily replied. 'And I'm getting paid regular wages today.'

'Ain't that illegal?' I asks. 'Did you sign a piece a paper or sumpin?'

'We're union,' she says. 'when we signed our last contract this place wasn't open on Sundays.'



I'm not sure of my point.

Mccain is a twit.


He should stick to making frozen food.
