Tough market
Posted on December 6, 2006 - Filed Under Personal |
Yes ladies and gentlemen, it’s another Cookie Monster sighting!
After WonderWoman slammed my excellent chocolate drink, I decided to go to the grocery store and see how long it would take me to gather the ingredients.
Actually, that’s a big fat lie.
I was there to get some Ghirardelli chocolate so I could make the chocolate drink.
Standing in line, I was barraged by photos. The National Enquiror, the National Tattler, and People tried to entice me into buying photos of celebrities dancing without panties. Trailer trash is still trailer trash, no matter how many dollar signs they have.
But that’s a conversation I refuse to have.
After 5 minutes of not moving, I glanced up to see the old lady at the front of the line paying by check. And of course "Oops! I forgot I had this coupon!"
There are days I truly miss homegrocer.com.
I had mentally prepared myself that I would be applying for social security before this line moved. Suddenly, a screech came out from behind the counter.
Cookie Monster: Hey Cliff! How are you?
Clifford (startled): Um . . . I’m doing fine Cookie Monster. You work here?
CM: Yep! Did you sell your house yet?
Clifford: No, I decided to rent them both out.
CM: Yeah I haven’t sold any of my 15 houses. The market just isn’t moving.
Clifford: That’s a bummer. Well if I don’t see you, have a Merry Christmas.
CM: You too!
I guess in tough times, people got to do what they got to do.
