YES, BUT IT'S ORGANIC
"Do you promise to not buy something if I show it to you?" Salad Wife said to me as we were shopping.
Every corner in Costco presents the opportunity for new consumer treasure. This was one of those opportunities.
"I can't make that kind of promise."
"Promise me."
"I know where you're standing," I told her. "It has to be in that location. I'm going to find it with or without your assistance."
I walked over to one of the see-thru cooler doors where she was standing.
"Oh, this," I said. "Saw it last week."
She looked dismayed. The look on her face registered bemusement, regret, dismay and the potential for exhaustion of insurance deductable after a batter-inducing arterial stent.
"Have you had it yet?" she asked me.
"No, and I want a thousand extra credit points for showing restraint for once in my life."
