LET HER GO!!

Tonight, Frank and I decided to go eat at Johnny Corino's. It was really good. I had Chicken Scallapini and a glass of wine. Frank had a beer and 5 meat Pasta. Then we shared tiramasu. I swear....it was like angels had cooked in the kitchen. YUM!

From there, we went to Wal Mart. We spent an hour and a half wandering, comparing prices and shopping. It would have been considered a pretty boring trip had the following not happened.

Frank and I are walking up to Lucky Aisle #12 to check out. We are standing about 5 feet away from the magazine rack and the "hey, buy this cause you don't need it but you think you do" stuff.

A women wheels her cart up to lane at the same time. She is looking at the cashier to verify, we guess, if he was open. (we see later that a Lane Closed sign is posted even though the light is on). She could probably touch the magazines with an outstretched arm.

HOWEVER, before she can make a decision or 3 seconds even pass, her decision is made for her. This man comes barreling....and I mean barrelling....past her with his cart. In fact, his cart pushes her cart out of the way because he goes between her and the magazines, does a 2 wheel side turn on his 4 wheel Wal Mart shopping cart to get in line.

Frank and I are just staring in shock. The crazy man's wife walks up and it is obvious what is going on....so she says, "Richard...this lady..." and he starts yelling, "LET HER GO! LET HER GO....let her go!"

By this time, this poor woman has gone to another aisle and the wife is about to die of embarrassment. I have a complete inappropriate reaction. I laughed out loud....really loud. I wasn't laughing at him or her, I think more out of suprise that anybody could be so bold.

After they checked out, "Let her go Richard" and his gang headed out the door.

In the car, Frank said, he too, was a little put out by her just staring at the check out aisle and not moving. I pointed out that although it might have irritated him, he had the where with the all to not knock the woman down and start screaming "LET HER GO!".

Richard.......you're a jerk.
