A disappointing day at the grocery.

[usonian]

I went to turn around the T***p magazines at the checkout and somebody had already done it.

Just for safety, they are now behind two Jimmy Carters and one National Geographic.

"To the bunker!"

5. The guy who used to do the books and magazines at our store finally asked me

if I could PLEASE at least wait until he left before I started rearranging things. The new guy shows up after I leave, so I just do it on my next visit.

9. Well done

I went to my VA appointment last week and noticed that the customary POTUS picture was missing and just an empty frame remained on the wall where Joe once was. I was gleeful.

11. One of my favorite things to do back in the day

Whenever a bookstore had a display island of some right-wing fuckwit's latest bucket of hate, I'd slowly intersperse the display with copies of Mein Kampf. Although these days I don't think they'd understand the insult. Probably just buy both with equal enthusiasm.

13. My favorite bookstore find ever. Not edited.

12. If anyone remembers the old ABC comedy show,

'Fridays,' they had this one skit where one of the cast did a segment on 'doo dads.' They were just another version of Chex party mix. Except he had the box upside down and it appeared as 'spap oop.' He was raving (for some reason I can't remember) about 'spap oop.' So, me being me, every time after that whenever I went to the store, I made sure to go down the snacks aisle and turned all the 'doo dads' boxes upside down to say, 'spap oop.' I eventually got busted by a kid that worked there. He actually said he saw that episode and began laughing. I just told him it was my present mission in life.

It used to be fun to be a goofball (which I was very good at). With today's present environment it's becoming harder and harder to laugh and smile at the little things because there's too many big things making our lives much more difficult.

Thanx so much, usonian. Your effort is so much appreciated!

Perhaps with the image editor. I'll go through my old computer art. Or start over.
Found it.




Old calculator gag:

710 77345

Requires a 7-segment display. Turn upside down. Works except for the four. Upside down h.

21. Shell Oil.

That stuff worked on my old Texas Instruments calculator I got for Christmas back in '73. This is it.

15. On a similar note, kinda in the ballpark

Back during Covid a local feed and seed had to pull the ivermectin off the shelf and put it behind the counter. To sell it only for its intended purpose. Don’t know how the did that.

16. Prescription required?

From the Vet?

17. Back in high school

we used to get boxes of Tampax and throw them into guys shopping carts when they weren't looking. That wouldn't work now in grocery markets where you have to unload your own shopping cart on to the conveyor.....

18. I love any story that starts with

“back in High School. “ I hardly remember what happened yesterday but I do remember my good old days in High School 55 years ago. For all you whippersnappers the 60s and 70s were awesome. Now get off my lawn.

[DENVERPOPS]

20. Seems

I'm spending alot more time thinking about those good old days, especially with all that is happening, they Truly were THE GOOD OLD DAYs..............I see what my grandkids are facing and I worry alot about the world they are growing up in.......

22. The local Raley's market pulls your cart to the side and checks items.

So does Trader Joe's.

Look around!

Some maga gonna buy Bud Lite.
