The Shopping Game!

Here's the deal:

you must come up with any four items that could be found at a store like, say, Fred Meyer. (This is a store that has a wide variety of groceries, but also has sporting goods, cosmetics, electronic equipment, clothing, etc. You get the idea.) The point is that the four items be innocuous in and of themselves, but in combination would completely freak out the checkout clerk, or at least make him/her wonder what in the hell you've got planned for the evening.

Birthday card.

Brownie mix.

Chocolate ex-lax.

Video camera.

and large box of "Wet Wipes"

LOL! I was getting ready to move, early one Sunday morning, and ran down to the nearby homeware/general purpose store for some forgotten to pack... but I was in a hurry because my folks were going to be showing up to help me move. I ran in, and said to one poor salesgirl, "Quick, I need some rope, masking tape, a bungee cord and a large knife."

The girl gave me a bemused, open-mouth blank look, and I realized the humor of the items I asked for. So I smiled and said, "Oh, like it was someone YOU knew..."
