Umm, yes, I'd like to report a stolen buggy...

So, about a week ago, I decided I was going to make some Spaghetti Sauce from scratch, so that I could have some made for the rest of the week. This meant that I needed to go to the store and pick up some things, but I needed other things for the apartment as well, so I made it a…”Full Out Wal-Mart Run”. It had to be quick though because it takes about an hour to make the sauce, and I had to be at work later that afternoon…plus I wanted to eat some before I went to work…hehehe…(clears throat inconspicuously), Anyhooot, needless to say, I needed to get back quickly. SO, on to Wal-Mart I went!

First off, finding a parking space at the Wal-Mart on Lakeshore Drive, is like trying to find…It’s like trying…umm, it’s like…Well, it’s gotta be like something, anyway, its hard. This parking lot makes NO sense, whatsoever! Those of you who live in this city or are from there no what I am talking about. 10 minutes later, I find a parking space, one that is of course made for one of those little European cars that only one and a half persons can fit in. I go inside starting in the Non-Food section, getting all of that stuff out of the way, spending ohhhh, about 35 minutes or so. Side bar, I think the designers of Wal-Mart buildings consulted with the same people that make Laboratory Mazes for Mice…and the Laboratory Maze designers got their ideas from the same people that build Casino’s…BUT, that is a WHOLE other blog for some other time. Anyway, so I get done with the non-food side, and I head for the food. Buggy, filled with about 20 items with very distinct origins and purposes, I see pizza making materials to my right about 10 feet away, so I leave my buggy where it is to go look, because there were 3 buggy’s blocking my path. I figured, why cause more of a traffic jam, when I will just be over there for a couple of seconds. So, I grab the pepperoni and head back to the buggy when suddenly, my heart skips a beat, the aforementioned buggy was gone, NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! So, I do what anyone in my situation would do… pace up and down the isle stomping my feet in anger and frustration until someone notices that something is wrong…but umm, no one notices my agony. I walk up to one of the Wal-Mart Ladies stocking a shelf and calmly say, with a smile and grin mind you, “somebody stole my buggy”, and what do I get? Nothing, no response…So, back to the task at hand, find an empty cart and start over before you waste anymore time. I can’t find an empty cart, but I do see a cart with 2 items, countem 2 ITEMS, that has been sitting in the same position, unguarded, for about 10 minutes…AH HA! The culprit! Obviously she/he’s not coming back to a cart that only has 2 items in it. It is much easier for that person to just start over once she/he realizes that their buggy is 18 items more than what they started with, and has COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ITEMS IN IT! BUT, no matter, I am this much closer to solving the case of the missing buggy! So, looking at the cart which has 2 items in it, which are Potato Chips and dip, I head for that isle to see if my buggy is in that area which this person would have to go to eventually to get their “chips and dip”. Jackpot! I found my Buggy, all items still intact, plus Johnson’s baby shampoo, which I promptly put back on the nearest shelf. Well, I picked up the items I still needed, and an Hour later I was done with my Wal-Mart Run, which turned out to be more like a Wal-Mart walk, with added mystery, intrigue, and suspense?

I realy like the previous comment. Makes you wonder how that brain really works. Since no one seems to be guessing, let me try. Was he called a chucker?
