Statue of Imitations
Ever in a hurry ? As I've mentioned before in this blog I'm a digital personality, incessantly aware of time. Being in a hurry does not bode well on Saturdays if you happen to need to shop in any discount warehouse. This time it was BJ's, because as their slogan goes "Everybody loves BJ's". I was on my way to the theater for the third and final saturday matinee of Annie and I wanted to pick up something for the orphans and the rest of the cast. The place was chock full of statues or more correctly people imitating statues.You have the Thinker Statue.
Depending on the gender, age and product aisle you can usually figure out the thought process.
Male, 40's, Video Section - "I'll bet if my wife would like Monty Python and the Holy Grail on DVD ?"
Female, 17, Frozen Foods - "I wonder if these cream puffs will make me look fat?"
Male, 75, Any Aisle - "What did I come here for ?"
Female, 14, Cookie Aisle - "Does Billy really like Amanda ?"
Female, 35, Frozen Foods - "I know Jim hates broccoli but doesn't everybody else like it ?"
Male, 21, Greeting Cards - "$3.95 why do I have to buy her one of these anyway ?"
There are other statues.
The label reader statue. Product in hand, reading in a whisper the entire label.
The forgot my glasses label reader statue. Same as above but with arm extended fully.
The what am I looking for in my purse statue.
The my wife/husband wandered off somewhere statue.
The why did I have children statue?
The cell phone statue.
THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE PHONE IS DEAF STATUE.
Now I wouldn't mind most of these statues except they usually have one ability in common, to find the exact center of the aisle. arrrrgghhhhh
