Super Market Sweep

I'm officially not allowed to go to the grocery ever again.

It disorients me. It confuses me. I get flustered and have no idea what to do.

Look at all that produce. What do I do with that? How do I get these stupid bags open? I sit there and stare at the fruit and pretend I know which one is better. Like my choosing of fruit is some kickball game and you don't want to get picked last. Except I'm a blind kid in a wheelchair.

Then I get in line at the deli counter and they ask me how much provolone I want. I don't know? What is a normal amount of cheese? A pound? Two pounds? A gallon? What is cheese measured in? Is there a cheese metric system?

And just think how confusing it would have been if I were sober!

you could buy a gallon of nacho cheese, but i don't know how happy your lady would be if that's the only cheese you came home with.

Ha! Must be a man thing, when hubby enters the grocery store, it's as if he's in a foreign land... It's not uncommon for him to spend an hour in there, make a few phone calls for help ("Honey, what aisle is ... on?"), all for just a few items :)

Don't be silly. Cheese is measured in aerosol cans. Everyone knows that!

Just smell everything!
Just pick up some fruit, raise it to your nose and inhale.
Smell it like its a fine wine - and that you are one of those wine wan... ahem, connoisseurs.
I swear - everyone around you thinks that you know what you're doing.
I do it all the time, I don't know why i do it, but, damn! Does it impress the ladies!

cheese metrics are, there is never enough! and normal is boring anyway.

I don't know how to pick good fruits either. I usually go for the biggest one!
