D: (At the check-out counter)
Victor: Thank God! The line moves along at a real fast pace.
Mike: Gee 1! I forgot one thing! (Saying to a lady) Uh, ma'am, would you please mind my cart for a second?
Female Customer: Sure!
(A few minutes later)
Mike: Miracle of miracles! I managed to get back to my cart just as it's my turn to be totaled! I'm here.
Female Customer: Computer break-down !
Mike: Computer break-down?
Female Customer: Not to worry. It never takes more than a half hour to clear up!
Mike: A half hour?! But you have only one more item to total. Can't you do it in your head?
Female Customer: Sorry, sir. We're not allowed to.
(Finally the computer kicks in and Mike's agony is gone.)
Bagger: Paper or plastic, sir?
Mike: Ellen!
Bagger: Hi, Mike!
Mike: (Saying to Victor in a low voice) She's the new girl in my history class, the one I've been dying to meet!
Bagger: Are you going to the school dance this Friday?
Mike: Uh, I am, if you are.
Bagger: Then I guess I'll be seeing you at the dance, Mike!
Mike: Count on it! (He waves good-bye to Ellen.) Oh, wow! Oh, wow! What was I
saying to myself before I met Ellen? Oh, now I remember. I can't think of anything I enjoy more than shopping!
