Because of my love of organic gardening, I decided to try a new and safe approach to the nasty corn worms I get in my home garden each year.I read in one of my books that if I put a drop of mineral oil on the tips of the ears that worms wouldn't eat my corn. When I told my wife about this new idea she said " How do you know where their ears are " she thought I was going to put it on the worms ears.
After working in grocery stores for years I thought I had seen it all. Until going to a store in an upscale suburb.The day after Thanksgiving a woman walks up to me and demands a refund on her turkey,it seems that after taking the plastic off she and her children were so upset by finding the plastic bullet used to kill the bird they couldn't eat Thanksgiving dinner. (NOTE: The "plastic bullet" she was referring to was the pop up timer that pops up when the turkey is done cooking)
At Kroger the clerk, girl about 19, messed up the register and had to subtract $22.73 from $40 and got a paper and pencil out but could not do it. When I told her how much change I had coming she would not take my word for it. She held the frustrated line for over 5 minutes and finally gave up and said" you'd better be right or I will get fired for shortages"
