Totally Absorbed at my local CVS

In the spirit of Iron Chef, I had an impromptu "to buy" list with the theme ingredient, PAPER!

  • 24 pack of toilet paper, regular
  • 8 pack of paper towel
  • 18 pack of ultra-thin slender maxi-pads

(funny, right? What was a little more telling of the times were the packs of Cadbury Milk Chocolate bars in the shopping basket ;) )

That wasn't uncomfortable...Read on

As the third person in line at the cash register, my heart went out to the poor fellow in front of me purchasing condoms. Condom Dude had to wait behind a dude who went over his receipt, line by line, with the cashier. To make matters worse for the Condom dude, 2 women with their rambunctious 4 children, ages ranging from 6-8, walked into the store and decided to crowd around the row of candy by the register. I could only imagine the look of discomfort on the Condom Dude's face. While the kids pleaded with their mothers to buy them each candy AND gum, Condom Dude, put his purchase closer to his heart...Was he embarrassed of the situation? Doubt it. I think he was he even more determined to complete his purchase.

And he did...no CVS card though

Condom Dude, where ever you are, your determination will pay off.
