Randomness I

It took me a while to decide whether or not to record some randomness as one long-ish post or use it as fodder for several smaller ones. After I started it, I decided to go with the latter option. I don't blog all that often, so I may as well spread out what I'm thinking about over a few days.

Here's the first one.

-----------------------------------

I don't know if they're nationwide or not, but there's a grocery store on the east coast called "Giant". The one near my office has a decent salad bar which of which I occasionally avail myself.

By the way, why do we always avail ourselves? Let's be neighborly and avail somebody else from time to time.

Anyway, my wife and I have this running small joke where she'll ask what I had for lunch and I'll reply "a Giant salad". This leads to much hilarity as we discuss how I could possibly eat the whole thing, how I had to rent a truck to get it back to my office, how I probably won't want any dinner now, etc.

Yes, we've been married long enough that we've already completely recycled the good jokes a couple of times and now we're down to this.

It occurs to me, though, that since Giant has a store brand for nearly everything, one could possibly turn this to one's advantage, maybe in terms of blossoming relationships:

"Are you coming over tonight?"
"Yes, I just need to stop and get a pack of Giant condoms. "

One probably wouldn't want to mention it if they were stopping off to get some Giant stool softener, though.
