Grocery Shopping

I went grocery shopping last night.  I didn’t really need much besides milk and juice and some mouth wash and moisturizer.  There were a lot of things on sale - namely store brand beverages - so my cart was quickly filled with things like sparkling water, diet cola, flavored sparkling water, and drink mix in addition to the necessary milk and OJ.  I also threw in a couple packs of Sponge Bob Square Pants Go-Gurt.  (for my friends living abroad, that’s yogurt you suck out of a tube.  it’s good.)

As I was placing my purchase up on the conveyor belt for the cashier, I joked that I had no food - just beverages and some toiletries.  He laughed.  I laughed.  Then I said, “oh, nope…I got some go-gurt., but I don’t know if that counts because you suck it out of a tube.”

Then while scanning my mouth wash he said…

“Yeah…and you know that when you’re sucking stuff out of a tube you have to have fresh breath and good skin to do it.”

I have no idea if that was the most unsolicited piece of advice about my sex life that I’ve ever gotten or if the poor guy didn’t realize what he was saying until it was too late, but I was dying on the inside.  I couldn’t even look at him.  I laughed a little bit, he laughed a little bit.  Then he suddenly stopped laughing - either because he realized what he had just said and was totally humiliated or he suddenly realized that that kind of innuendo  isn’t necessarily an appropriate exchange between the cashier and the customer.

Either way, I thought it was hysterical.  I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to eat my Sponge Bob go-gurt though,
