My shopping list this week included: Taxidermy moose head, KY Jelly, 2 lbs feathers, balloons, fishing line
Glock or revolver, and a mousetrap.
I actually said the sentence, “As soon as I buy the moose head, I have to go pick up some KY jelly.”
What’s the strangest combination of things you’ve ever bought?
Now that is a list! Too bad you can’t pick up all those things at the local supermarket. I can imagine the look you’d get from the cashier when you buy them all together.
It would probably be similar to the look I got from the cashier when I bought six tubes of KY jelly and a box of cracker jacks.
The cashier was probably wondering what kind of surprises they are giving away in those boxes these days.
Teeheehee.
It’s an old joke in the retail business. No one is capable of buying a box of condoms/KY/etc. without picking up something else–as if the something else is going to make the cashier forget that she’s ringing up a box of rubbers!
Here in Utah, where we have a whole gruntload of Mormons, the dutiful husband buys the condoms and a six-pack of caffeine-free soda pop. How romantic!
Aw… that’s so sweet!
“My shopping list this week included: Taxidermy moose head, KY Jelly, 2 lbs feathers, balloons, fishing line Glock or revolver, and a mousetrap.”
Knocking out a little redneck Christmas shopping?
I don’t think I can top this list. SRSLY.
To be fair, this was a list covering two very different shows. One about Theodore Roosevelt and the other about a playwright haunted by the ghost of Idi Amin.
Ha ha ha! When I’m bored, I try to come up with strange purchasing combinations that might make a cashier’s eyebrows raise, but that takes the cake. Bravo!
Oh, come on. You have to share at least one example.
a twin size foam mattress, four gallon sized enema bags, two bottles of glycerin and 200 rubber gloves.
ps. Ask Michael this question.
Makes me wonder what it must be like being the new guy in a big home-improvement store. “Hey Jack, we just had a couple in here buying 2-inch wooden dowels, heavy-duty eyebolts, the hardware to hang a porch swing, and a hundred feet of rope. What do you think they were making?” “Well, was either of ‘em wearing a collar?”

Sometimes, it’s just better not to know.
