HOW I GOT OUT OF SHOPPING DUTY WITH MY WIFE


After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.
Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out.  Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target:

Dear Mrs. McCoy

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store.  We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. McCoy, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:

1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House Wares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in House Wares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money. We don't have a Code 3.

5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

6. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

7. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

8. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

9. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

10. October 6 In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look'
using different sizes of funnels.

11. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

12. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where is the fitting room?

And last, but not least:

13. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

EVERY THING YOU NEED TO KNOW IN A FEW SENTENCES


Your subconscious has no sense of humor. It can't take a joke. Call yourself an idiot enough times, and your subconscious will work to prove that it's true. And you won't be pleased with the results.

If you believe Jesus loves you, great;  but take this to the bank: God could care less.

If you need somebody's approval to be happy, you are in deep trouble. You are a prisoner of whim.

Say thank you.

Know this as an absolute: Time and Circumstance rule everything.
