So there I was, at the Costco checkout line...
Checking out with my stuff this morning, including a package of beets. I've never been a big beet fan, but my niece got some from Costco that I really like. So I'm checking out with the beets, and they won't scan into the register. The kid at the register calls out to a manager about 40 feet away that he needs an item number. She asks what the item name is. I didn't pay attention to what these beets were called, I just liked them, so I bought them.
Next thing I know, the kid shouts out, "ORGANIC LOVE BEETS!". Only it sounds like, "ORGANIC LOVE BEADS!" (though I'm not sure if "beets" is any better).
The female manager and her helper started cracking up, but the kid was too flustered from the long line being held up to catch what he was saying or what was going on. They made him repeat it three times, telling him "What was it?" over and over again. I was cracking up too, until the third time, when he REALLY shouted and it had attracted the attention of half the shoppers, and I realized their eyes were all focused on me, and thinking, "what the HELL is that guy buying?" All I could do was look around, smile, and do the "oh well" shrug. The manager is probably still laughing.

Just pull them out slowly...

Any discoloration is incidental and should subside within a few hours.

I'm quick on the draw that way. :D
BTW, my coworkers and I find it sporting to try and get a coworker to guffaw into the phone during a conference via IM-delivered taunts and jokes. :D

There's hippie hunting every other Wednesday...
I doubt even the hippie chicks around here are into "love beets".

Seems like a bit of a pickle.

Summer Job, 1956. A&P Supermarket. 17 years old. Stocking the shelves. Got a case of Gherkins to put out. Asked the manager over the PA system where to put the "ferkins."
Manager came back over the PA, "The WHAT?"
I clicked back on. "Firkins. Gee-Aitch-Eee-Are-Kay-Eye-Enn-Ess."
Pause.
Click. "Gherkins, you idiot !"
Everybody in the store started laughing.
A lady in dairy dropped a dozen eggs while bent over in convulsive guffaws.
True. I'll never forget it.
Yeah, I had to clean up the eggs, too.
I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.
