Harold and Edna had been having their common high-stakes standoff in the course of the grocery store cereal aisle.
Edna tossed a field of high-fiber bran flakes into the cart and snapped, “You completely don’t want the sugary ones, Harold. You’re 78 years outdated. These marshmallows will put you straight within the hospital.”
Harold grumbled beneath his breath, “At the very least if I’m within the hospital, the nurses gained’t be nagging me about my weight loss program.”
The second Edna turned her again to examine the natural oatmeal, Harold moved with the stealth of a ninja, swiftly swapping out the boring bran for a brilliant, neon-colored field of marshmallow cereal.
The whole lot went easily till they reached the checkout lane, the place Edna’s sharp eyes immediately noticed the contraband on the conveyor belt.
“Harold!” she yelled. “What did I say in regards to the sugar?!”
With out breaking a sweat, Harold leaned over to the cashier and whispered loudly:
“Belief me, ma’am… simply scan it. A field of sugary cereal is a heck of quite a bit cheaper than a divorce lawyer.”
