I guess the oath of the confessonal forbids me to disclose the said conversations I either engaged in with a fellow checking out at the market. But people are often not in the best mood when dispensing with hard earned money.

Re: What weird religions there must be in Alaska.

I was on my way home from work and I stopped at the local supermarket. Some 8-yr.-old in front of me was pleading with his mom to let him buy a package of Tic-Tac Breath Mints as she was keypunching her debit card information.

She ignored him for the first coupla whines, and then she snapped without warning, "You JUST had a donut, for God's sake!!!" He shut up instantly.

What a fearful religion it must be that the mere mention of it can silence bratty sugar-crazed children. And how very odd. I discussed, after the mom was out of earshot, with the young cashier just what sort of weird religion it must be that the kid had to eat a donut for God's sake.

Of course, if God TOLD me to eat a donut, it seems little enough to ask a fellow. One might like to argue , "But GOD, they're BAD for you!" But that is likely vainglorious thought; I'd probably just eat the donut.

You overheard anything weird while standing in the checkout line?

You're a nut.

It's been awhile since I've paid attention to what other people are saying in check out lines, but I used to try to embarrass my dad all the time while shopping with him.

I'd make sure there were plenty of people within earshot and I'd gasp in realization and exclaim, "Dad! You forgot to get some more Bengay/Depends/Preparation H/Gas-X/*insert other embarrassing product here*"

My dad is not embarrassed easily, so he'd just smile or chuckle a little, and I'd catch a few smiles and snickers from the people around us.

Another time, I went to the store with my girl friend and while we were shopping, there was a bunch of people standing next to us so I walked up close to her and said, "Damn, stop touching me there, Amy!"

She'd get so embarrassed and of course the group of people turned around to see what the comotion was about.

Screwing around in line or in the store rules.

"She had fat legs with skinny ankles..."

I hate catching snippets of gossip.

in my late 20s i dated a lady friend who had a wonderful 6 year old son.....i say wonderful because he was exceptionally bright and interactive with people and his environment ......and just the most beautiful boy with silky brown hair that hung to his shoulders.....

the three of us were next in line for the cashier behind a woman about to leave with her groceries.... the lady looked down at this beautiful, long haired child and said, "What a beautiful little girl!" and smiled at "Daniel"...

this 6 year old boy buffed up at this lady, cocked his head and said loudly, "I'm not a girl. I'm a boy. I've got a penis!"

the lady visibly recoiled in horror at this loud, insolent kid and her head snapped back and forth between Daniel's face and his mother's....apparently expecting him to be scolded for saying "that word"

instead, his mom said, "That's right, Daniel. You're a boy. You've got a penis."

the woman scooped up her groceries, spun around and ran from the store

Off Topic: his mom had found this great kid's book to learn the parts of the body....the boy's apparatus was properly called the penis....but to help a 6 year old pronounce the word properly it instructed to.... "Try to say the word peanuts...without the T....LOL

Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good

What if God was one of us? Would he have a godzilla sized butt too from eating too many donuts? (don't be mad God, I'm teasing )

A few years ago, around Easter time, a child was playing up for his mother in the supermarket and screaming that he wanted that Easter Egg.

His mother's reply was:

"If you don't behave, Jesus will come and haunt you"
