Hot Pockets




I don't know if you have ever heard of Jim Gaffigan, but he is a ridiculously funny comedian from Indiana. If you haven't, this overheard conversation may not be that funny, but if you have then read on.

I broke out in a poison ivy rash yesterday and today I went to Walgreen’s to buy the most expensive over the counter remedy ever created. As I was in line to check out, I witnessed the following conversation between the 50 something buck-toothed cashier and the middle aged woman...

WG: Would you like to buy some of these M&M's?
W: No. But I would like a pack of Virginia Slims.
WG: You know, you might as well get the M&M's too. They're both bad for ya.
W: No thanks.
WG: (after ringing the total and receiving her cash) Now, on this here receipt, there's a coupon good for a dollar off on your next Virginia Slims purchase.
W: Great. That'll save me money.
WG: Yeah, but you gotta remember to bring it with you. I can't even imagine the number of times I've come in to get some Hot Pockets and forgot my coupon.

Hmmm... that reminds me... I don't think I've had a Hot Pocket lately. Perhaps I'll go out and get one.

you might want to pair that Hot Pocket with a nice red wine...

or maybe you should just wait until you go out to a nice resturant.

{gosh, matt sure talks a lot about Walgreens. Is he against Walgreens? I love Walgreens.}
