Cheese
Let's say for instance I'm out of cheese. Ok and then I'll think oh, but what if I go to the store and they're out of cheese? I'd be like 'how can you be out of cheese?' And they'd be like 'What do you mean how can we be out of cheese? You're out of cheese. People run out of cheese.' Then I'd be like 'Yea, but you're a store. You should have cheese stocked up in the back for people like me come in looking for cheese.' And that's when they send the manager over who think she's so cool for being the manager cause his picture's framed in the front of the store cause he's the manager, you know. And he'd be like 'What seems to be the problem m'am?' Which to me is so condescending like 'little lady,' you know? And I'd be like 'The little lady's problem is-' He'd be like 'Who's the little lady?' I'd be like 'Shut up and listen to me. You're out of cheese and I want some.' And he's like 'Well how about some cottage cheese?' like he's gunna negotiate the situation. He's a diplomat cause he's the manager, you know. And I'd be like 'I don't want cottage cheese. I want cheddar cheese. Sharp cheddar cheese is was I came in for. Sharp cheddar cheese and cottage cheese are not the same thing. Just cause they have the name cheese in the title doesn't make it a cheese at all. That'd be like going to a musical instrument store and saying I'd like to buy a trumpet and they say I'm sorry we're all out of trumpets, but would you like a shoe horn? See that's not the same thing is it Mr Manager?' Thank you for the shoe horn, you know. And he starts getting all nervous and everything cause a crowd starts forming and he's feeling humiliated cause they're all sitting around mumbling 'what seems to be the problem?' 'I don't know she wants some cheese." And so he just slaps me right across the face and so that's when Skip the part time guy who works there who hates the manager cause he thinks he's so cool for being the manager and treats Skip like shit cause he's just the part time guys and Skip's gunna quit in the fall and go back to school anyway. He doesn't even need the money, he's from a wealthy family. He's just doing it for the experience cause his family wants him to work one summer. So anyways he takes the hose and he goes to spray the manager right in the eye, right. And so, but that's when he was leaning down to pick up the cottage cheese so he misses him and he gets this old woman who's standing right behind him and she's there picking out an avocado cause the older you get the less you eat and all she wants is the avocado. So she screams out 'My eye! I've been sprayed in the eye with a produce hose.' And so that's when her nephew who's visiting from Austin, Texas is just two aisles over picking out tortillas chips cause he thinks they're gunna have some guacamoli, little does he know it's one avocado and so he starts running 'I'll help you aunt so-and-so' running and then he slips on the water from the produce hose; breaks his leg, breaks his arm, bruises two ribs right there, gets a stitch put in his cheek bone, just one but still it's a stitch. Chaos breaks out and it's all over hard copy and entertainment tonight, access hollywood: 'Lesbian demands cheese, causes riot!' And I'm like I don't even want the cheese."
