So she told me that I needed to go to the store for her right away. I looked at her. I didn't see a broken leg.
OH ! You need me to pick up some personal items?
Uh ? NO !!! I said.
That was the last thing I heard before I headed out the door for the store.
HEY ! I thought it over.
If I am going to have to go through this I might as well try to make it as enjoyable as possible. And if this helps so much the better. And I was out of ice cream. . ..
This is a tough crowd to talk to about young people stuff with. ( insert laughter here ) BUT if there are any men out here that has never had to journey down aisle D in Thrift way. Take a trip. Remarkable and very very confusing.
At first I thought I was in the toy aisle when a box that had written on it " With Wings" caught my eyes. I saw something like that once.
It was on the history channel when the big UFO crave was still in. It is still one of the few pictures they have not been able to prove as to being a fake. And there other things.
Like I did not know some of these things were seasonal. I saw something called "Summers Eve." They had stocked up on a lot of it.
At first I thought it was a wine cooler but I could not for the life of me figure out how you would ever drink out of that container ? Kinda like those cardboard juice things I see all the time.
Monistat 7. Hmm ? My first thought was Jack Daniel Old # 7 Whiskey. But this crap was in a tube.
And then I saw Monistat 3 . But it cost more than than 7 but it was only a 3 ? Why ? When 7 is more than 3 . I would want a 7 I would think . But I have never stated that I understand women.
But I did think it out. I have witnessed the size 12 to the size 6. This could be one of those cases. I told you it is confusing.
I won't even get in to the napkins. There was not very many in the package but damn. You just know they would be good when you have BBQ ribs. They were thick. Hook them to them wing things and you would have one hell of a bib.
But I finally found what I was looking for but I was not ready for what I found. I picked up the box and like all men do the first thing I did was turn the box around. We always look for directions. We want to know how easy it is going to be to do the job with what was in the box. Again I was not ready and the first words I read were and I quote.
"Sit or stand in a comfortable position. Some women prefer to place one leg on the toilet seat or tub, while others prefer to squat down. After you find a position that is most comfortable for you. "
I looked up, I looked around. And then I reached for my reading glasses. HOLY COW. I felt Nasty.. I liked it. I read more.
" If the tampon is inserted correctly, you should not feel it."
SEE !!!! I have been telling her that for years. I am buying these . Maybe she has been reading the wrong instructions.
I turned the box back over.
Crap !!!! Super Size. That can only be good at McDonald's Right ?
I started looking for a " You look fine in that dress size." I did not see any.
Super Size. Is that a compliment ? Would be if it were a Trojan. I buy those in super size ones and use them as garbage bags. Those things are tough. They have to be the world depends on them. Well maybe not the world. But they are important to that couple in the back seat of that 53 Chevy.
I use a thread gage at work. Round piece of metal with all different size holes in it. I think you can see how I could put the two together. The biggest hole I have on the gage is a 1" diameter. Super size?
I am at a loss here. I deal with nuts and bolts and engine bore size. If I get the super size am I going to get supper ?
Will she take it as an insult or be grateful that I knew what size without asking.
I was just trying to get out the door. Now I can't call her can I ?
I am so happy that I read just a bit further before I did call.
"Choose the correct tampon absorbency. Use smaller sized tampons when your flow is lighter. TSS occurs more often when super-absorbent tampons are used. Don't use these unless your menstrual flow is particularly heavy."
It's not the size of the torpedo it is the bang for the buck... Hallelujah I have been saved
.
I want to personally thank who ever it was that wrote these directions. And thanks for not saving that piece of information for the end. I bore easy.
Remembering what I had seen as I was leaving the house I chose super size. 2 boxes. I want to finish reading one.
Now if you will excuse me I will get my ice cream and I think I will stop by Micky's D's just in case.
Absorbency. I should have figured that one out. .
We sell these big ole long roll of crap in a white cloth tube at the store. It is used to contain oil spills in the shops.
Naww.. She would beat me with it.. But it would be a story to tell the guys. And she is already in a bad mood..
OK.. Ice cream, Micky D's and I will stop by at work for a minute. OH and I will call her and tell her I have a surprise for her.. Yeah That should do it.
I am a Rebel... Marlon Brando and I have my Toe in the side car. But he has a Sock on.
Nite
Tampons... Super Size.. I was Wrong.. Go Figure

This reminds me of a really sick joke I heard a bunch of years ago. . .
A really ugly little guy walks into the local Wally-World to apply for a sales job. The dude's about five feet tall, hunchbacked, bald, has a scraggly black beard, a hair lip, one eye, and a cauliflower ear. Children run away from him in fear; young parents stare and think "there but for the grace of. . ." You get the picture.
So, anyway, he approaches the store manager & asks for a sales job. The manager takes one look at the little dude and, after his intial revulsion passes, thinks quickly that he can't hire him; he'll scare off all the customers. But, he can't refuse to hire the little dude, either; there'd be the mother of all discrimination lawsuits. Just as he's thinking this, the little guy takes the initiative. . .
"Tell you what," Quasimodo tells the manager. "Put me in sporting goods, just for today. If I don't make a single sale, I'll walk out of here and you'll never see me again; if I can sell $1,000.00 by the end of the day, you can hire me. Deal?"
The manager thinks this oever for a minute; it's a really slow day in sporting goods, so the little guy can't do a lot of damage. "You're on."
So, the little troglodyte puts on a blue vest and hangs out in sporting goods. Nobody even wanders into the department until about half an hour before closing when a young, robust-looking fellow in jeans and a t-shirt strolls in looking slightly uncomfortable. The little hunchback approaches him and engages him in conversation. . .
The store manager happens to catch this as he's on his way to dismiss the ugly little dude. What he sees amazes him; in 20 minutes time the little guy has convinced his customer to buy a fishing rod, two reels, a tackle box and enough lures to fully stock it, a bass boat and outboard motor, tent, two camp chairs, Coleman stove and lantern, hip waders, a week's supply of camp food, hatchet, saw, camp shower, etc., etc., By the time he's done the little guy has sold his customer no less than $15,000.00 worth of camping & fishing equipment. The customer leaves the store broke but happy.
The manager walks up to Quasimodo. "That was amazing! How did you know that guy wanted all that stuff?"
"He didn't at first," the little guy answers. "He came in to buy Tampax for his wife; so I said, 'Hell, since you don't have anything to do for the next week, why don't you go fishing?'"

*******************
My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first
mistake). One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet
doors was ajar.
I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother
why she was keeping ''napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in
the kitchen? Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told
me that those were for 'special occasions' (her second mistake).
Now fast forward a few months....It's Thanksgiving Day,
and my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner.
Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set
the table.
When they returned, my uncle came in first and
immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife who gasped, then
began giggling. Next came my father, who roared with laughter. Then
came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place
setting on the table with a 'special occasion' Kotex napkin at each
plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the
little tail in so they didn't hang off the edge!!
My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my
response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter.
'But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!'
Pass this on to your girlfriends who need a good laugh
or anyone who has a daughter!
Life is too short for drama & petty things, for heavens
sake, use the good napkins whenever you can!
