The Check-Out Line

The other day I was at Wal-Mart checking out my groceries. I was in the do-it-yourself lane and as I was running my items over the sensor I had a rather funny visual in my head. I pictured the machine shouting out the items I was buying. "ding dongs! asparagus! bananas! tampons!" Then I took my thoughts one step further, what if the purchase went like this..."ding dongs--she must be having a fat day ladies and gentlemen; asparagus--she wants to make up for the ding dongs she just purchased; bananas--yeah, like that's going to make her feel better about herself; tampons--oh, that's why she's buying ding dongs." How embarassing would that be? Food for thought!
