I was at Russ's this morning buying some gum.
Directly in line in front of me waiting to check out, was morbidly obese woman who looked late 40's early 50's. Tucked under one arm was a box of donuts. tucked under the other were two 16oz Pepsi's. While we waited she got a contemplative look on her face, turned around, and pulled another 16oz pepsi out of the cooler. When it was finally her turn to pay she dropped her treats down on the conveyor belt, reached around again, and put a fourth Pepsi there with the rest. Next she reached into her wallet, and paid with food stamps.
I paid for my gum and headed out the door.
She was still waddling to her car as I crossed the parking lot, and there I noticed a lone bumper sticker on her car; "Proud to be a Nebraska Democrat"
When I pulled out onto 70th I passed her while she was driving 30 mph in a 40. Probably because it's hard to eat a donut AND drink a pepsi AND drive all at once.
And that's why I don't have bumper stickers on my car. Because some time some where you're going to do something that makes you look like a complete piece of s**t, and people are going to make associations.
