Figure I'll pick up a few things from Walmart.
So to look the part, I change out my collared shirt and slacks for ninja turtles pajama pants, sandals and a Coors Light t-shirt.
I make sure to smoke a few cigarettes on the way too, to class up my breath.
Now I'm strolling down an aisle, selecting a case of Monster, when I see a middle-aged woman browsing the same aisle a few feet away.
I continue on, this time in the cereal aisle. There she is again.
Loading up on Pop Tarts (keeping it real with Strawberry), I ignore her as we pass by each other.
Two aisles over, I'm pondering over soups to myself.
Then I hear her squeaky cart approaching and there she is again, appearing at the opposite end.
How many times do you pass the same stranger without saying hello?
"Whoa wait," I say, hands out, "Where have I seen you before?"
She freezes.
"Oh I remember! I love what you've done with your hair since the soda aisle."
And to my surprise, she whips up a dry wit.
"Why thank you, dyed it myself," she bats her eyes, "You must have good taste in groceries."
We both look in my cart, filled with very blatant guy-in-his-twenties type products and laugh.
"Make sure you get all your vitamins, young man!" she wags a finger towards the 6-pack of Blue Moon, and exits my aisle, never to be randomly seen again.
Okay, how many times are you going to use the words "middle aged woman" in one day? I'm starting to get paranoid.
