I went to the local grocery store here in town this morning. As I approached the store, I saw a large banner hanging over the door announcing a store-wide sale of “Everything Italian”. I walked in and began seeing such items as spaghetti sauce, pasta, Italian bread, etc. and when I arrived at the Deli, I noticed Italian roast beef was on sale. Even on sale I couldn’t afford to pay nearly $11.00 per pound.
I ordered the “cheap” roast beef and some “cheap” cheese then proceeded over to the bakery to get my on-sale loaf of Italian bread. I then turned the corner and spotted the cheese danish…….not on sale. I got the attention of the woman working behind the bakery counter and yelled, “Excuse me! Where is the Italian cheese danish?”
What ensued next was quite entertaining…………………………………at least for a demented sort.
