Pharmacy adventures

While out looking at houses to lease I stopped at a pharmacy to get Monty's glucosamine for his doggy arthritis. While I was there, I gots me a chocolate bar, because I'm so rad. Eating it in the car, the crumbs fell on my lap and melted from the heat. I've got chocolate on my khakis.

So I look like I crapped myself backwards.

I swear this only happens to pants I have to iron.

One interesting thing did happen though. While I was oogling Christina No-underwear-a on the cover of Maxim, a voice came from behind, "that's contraband." It was a lady, who was pulling my leg. However, she thought of it because when she tried to send a Maxim or FHM to her grandson in Afghanistan, they told her that she couldn't because it was contraband. She then rightly asserted that if her grandson was ordered to war, then he should be able to look at a quasi-nudie mag. I of course agreed.

She then showed me the black bracelet she wears printed with his birthday and deathday. He was barely 21.

So, I'm glad that I'm 32, and that my biggest worry is the chocolate on my pants.

You got caught by an old lady looking at softcore porn. You perv.

Actually, I saw the same cover while in line getting a coffee at the Barnes and Noble Cafe yesterday, and probably had the same impure thoughts as you.

I never knew such things were considered contraband. Perhaps it's because they're stationed in an Islamic area of the world that would be easily offended by such displays of women? Regardless, I agree, it's not right. We should let those guys drink, too, when they're back home State-side.

Or maybe we shouldn't let them fight until they are old enough to drink.

This may be my most favorite post so far. Thanks for putting some perspective on it all Crackah.

My biggest worry is that I will actually shart my pants…. again. It is sad to think about all the families who are missing loved ones… and the soldiers left to ogle only Bubba’s tattoo of a half naked chick. I read some state introduced a bill to make the drinking age 18 again because of the dichotomy of being adult enough to vote and die, but not to drink. I’m sure it didn’t pass.

Thanks for the story
