358

i hate the reality that i live in a neighborhood where customers look at my cart to see what i can give them before they look me in the eye to acknowledge a fellow human.

our society continues to forge behind.

i have noticed a correlation between the price of cantaloupes on a given day and the stupidity of any question im asked irrespective of whether or not the inquiry relates to cantaloupes; the better the bargain the crappier the cranium.

a middle-aged woman held a 'loupe in her hand this afternoon and asked "what does this mean?"

i felt like saying it was a pronoun used to designate a person, place, thing or idiot.

later in the day a strapping young lad asked me where he could find some coal. it took me a moment to realize he was seeking charcoal since i tend not to anticipate questions that have absolutely nothing to do with my occupation.

do you ever walk into a jiffy lube and ask the mechanic how fast a giraffe can run the fifty?


if my job had any more faults it would be a tectonic plate.
