Below you will find links to dates when new entries are added. The stories will not necessarily be in chronological order, but rather as I remember them. I am dating them so that you can skip to new ones you haven't read since the last time you visited, and so that you are more easily able to find something you found humorous to share with others.
Checkered Flag


I was bustling through the local grocery store one day last week when I overheard a man and woman on the other side of the shelving unit to my right. I could hear the man talking with anger as if the woman was his daughter ignoring parental orders. He was strongly saying, "No, THIS way! No! Follow MEEEE! I said THIS way!!" They seemed to be going the in a direction opposite to where I was going, so I chuckled to myself, headed the other direction to finish my shopping and forgot about it. About ten minutes later, I returned to the area, remembering to pick up a loaf of bread, and again, I heard the man arguing with the woman, " I said NOW!!!" I could hear her answering back with a defiant "NO!" each time. I couldn't take it any longer, curiosity killed the cat. I had to walk around the corner and take a look at the people who seemed to be in the same aisle arguing for the past fifteen minutes. I think what I'm about to tell you has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a grocery store in a very long time - maybe EVER! I'm sure you're all familiar with the motorized carts on wheels for those who have a difficult time making it through an entire shopping spree. These two were in their fifties, I'd guess. They were both in carts, and I'm not sure either of them would have ever had the opportunity to make the dean's list at any time in their life. She was out in front of him like Richard Petty being chased by Darrell Waltrip. He kept pointing down the next aisle, but she was circling around and around between two ailses screaming, "No... NO...NO!" I assume he was trying to get her to leave, but he just couldn't catch up to her. I did not stick around to see who took the checkered flag - for all I know, they circled until the batteries went dead.
