This cracks me up Krom, really...I was at Walgreen's this morning picking up
a prescription for my dh, bought some shampoo and was checking out, putting
my number in for the Balance Rewards and there was an elderly man behind me.
The clerk asked him if he wanted to buy a candy bar (they seem to be
pitching different items while you check out these days) he said no he's a
diabetic and can't have candy. What was he buying? Wait for it...a loaf of
bread and the Nice Honey that was on sale. I kid you not. LOL
