Conversations: The “Milk Run”

By Francis W. Porretto
Francis W. Porretto avatar

FWP: Do you want me to pick up anything on the way home?
CSO: Wine and milk.

FWP: Oh, no. Wine only. You get the milk.
CSO: Why?

FWP: You can't get milk at the liquor store.
CSO: So go to a gas station!

FWP: Naah. I'd have to bring a vented can with "FDA Approved" stickers, and I don't want to go through all that crap about validating my credit card. Besides, which pump would I use?
CSO: The white one. You know, the one with the grade buttons that say "Whole," "1% fat," "2% fat," and so on!

FWP: You know what's worst about that?
CSO: What?
FWP: If you want to buy heavy cream, you have to prove you're over 18.
CSO: Oh.

That conversation took place this morning, Gentle Reader.

  1. "Wow, Grotecakes! Heavy on the Thirty-weight mom!”

    Fran, that was quite the Firesign Theater moment.

  2. Is there anything better than a shared improv moment with someone who immediately goes there with you? I don’t think so.

    Oy, such a smile this gave me!
