costco, item of interest #1


three times the heat of *what*, exactly?

i stopped a shopper and pointed at the sign which i thought was so hilariously ambiguous. not understanding that i was pointing out a flaw, she was dually impressed that this item did, apparently, offer three times the heat.

realizing she didn't quite get it, i said, "do you see? it says three times the heat. but three times the heat of what?"

"wow, that's a lot of heat," was her response.

indeed.

It's possible she thought *you* were the idiot, although that interpretation is beyond charitable. Sigh. I give up. Hey, it's got THREE TIMES the heat!!! I just ordered on online. I was three times colder when I ordered.

She probably thought Zim was a hidden camera guy, from a reality show, trying to get a 'punked' reaction from her. Maybe she'd be famous? Or get a free one.... "ohhhh, three times? sounds pretty good..."

Please.... you know she thought he was a crazy person and was looking around to make sure she had some people around her to keep her safe.

Pyker - no way was she being charitable... I think scared actually covers it. lol.
