I live just a couple of blocks from the store I frequent. A downside of that proximity is that it's not unusual for me to wait until we're out of something and then run up the street for just one or two items.
I came up to the check out register and placed a box of cat litter and a large package of toilet paper on the counter. The cashier rang them up and then glanced at me with a questioning look.
"I'm trying to teach them to go on the toilet and wipe their little butts. It's not going too well. The curve of their little claws causes them some real problems."
I thought it was funny but then I have a rather twisted sense of humor.

And I thought Short Trip to the Store was waiting in huge lines for a short list of groceries due to Harper. My wife and a friend both experienced this Friday at a Kroger.
I thought your reasoning was rather clever Willow.

Carl, Please post the training technique and video of the process. Have you been able to get the kitties to flush? The wife has three cats and I can't stand the cat litter dust. Please don't ruin this for me and say it was just a joke....  Oh damn, you already did.  Rams  |

In a grocery store we get a lot of the same interactions over and over. I imagine your cashier was caught off guard with your comment. And many people have no sense of humor at all. I also had a funny encounter with a customer yesterday. A 40 something year old lady was shopping and looking around like she was lost. The routine of asking the customer if I can help them find something gets repeated over and over daily. Usually with just a couple responses. One being "no, I'm just looking", the other being they say what they want and I take them to it. Yesterday after asking this nice looking lady if I could help her find something, she looks straight at my crouch and then back up at me and says "oh, you mean something here in the store ?"  I have to admit I was caught off guard for a second and then started to laugh. Then she started laughing, and said "you didn't expect that did you ?" I will have rethink my rote question "can I help you find something ?". |

Sounds like she knew what she was looking for and exactly where to find it.

maybe, I'm not sure. I think she was just trying to be witty and funny. (She succeeded) |

The moral to this story is be on your guard when anyone looks directly at your crouch. |

Your humor is right I up there with the rest of us my friend.
Also a lesson for the cashier that there are lessons yet to be learned.
