Weird things happen in threes
Or is that deaths? Anyway, third weird thing in a row. I go to check out my groceries at Stop & Shop, and the checkout guy is this mountain of a guy. Young, though, probably around 19. Ginormous. Could pick me up by the scruff of my neck to say hello. Hands the size of dinner plates. That big. I'd describe him more, but I'm running out of cliches.
So Mountain Checker waves a box of butter over over the laser beam thingie, and then, it happens. He opens his mouth to ask me a question and the voice of Minnie Mouse emerges. "Miss, do you have our discount card," he asked me high-pitchedly. Honestly, it took me five seconds to realize what he said to me. I don't remember what I said back as I almost had a seizure from holding in my laughter. Have you ever had to stab yourself in your hand with your keys in order not to laugh? Poor guy.

I know what you mean. Once I was at Target piling stuff up on the checkout stand. I barely noticed the cashier just noted that it was a girl you know long brown hair, big boobs, long red nails but when she opened her mouth to tell me the price it came out in a deep manly voice. I looked up startled to see a five o'clock shadow under her layers of makeup. It's a little disconerting but always good for a laugh. Hey anything that makes the day more interesting, you know?
