If looks could kill
Lost in thought I wandered into the valley of paper goods, blocking out the light. The chill that followed was not the loss of the sun but the freezer case in the next isle at Super Walmart. At first it was the brunette hair that caught my eye. In front of the Dannon Yogurt display it appeared that she was furtively eating... one of the cups of yogurt.. with a plastic spoon. No one else was in the area so my immediate impression was that this denizen was stealth-snacking. I headed for her, incredulous. She appeared to straighten the containers and make a charge in my direction. Escaping? Maybe a Joust of approaching shopping carts. who will pull up first? My eyes boring in on her hoping to let her know I was on to her little crime. Well she gave the who-the-heck-are-you-staring-at look and I was dumb struck by the lack of shame, the unmitigated gall. I wanted to exclaim this society is heading straight for h...when I noticed the Gentleman in a white apron passing out samples... some kind of pudding...white spoons..flushing, I turn, gone. Lady, I'm sorry for the ugly glare. Good citizen? huh, this vigilante better mind his own business. --James
