Egging a Repuke at the grocery store [View all]

Last edited Mon Aug 22, 2022, 01:10 PM - Edit history (1)

Waiting behind a guy at the egg cooler to get done. He was replacing his regular-size eggs with the Jumbo ones, transferring eggs from one container to the next,

After a minute of waiting and watching, I couldn't help myself.

"Pardon me," I said, "But, I bet you're a Republican"


He turned around with a smile on his face, "Yes, how do know?"- Big grin

"Oh, just a guess the way you're looking out for yourself at the expense of another."

He paused, put down the jumbo eggs (now 1/2 filled with smaller ones), muttered something and left.
